Hoj Hura Hoj

This is the ACDA California Coastal Region Honor Choir 2008 Performance at St. Ignatius Church in San Francisco.

The song is called Hoj, Hura, Hoj. It was composed by Otmar Macha. It is a Moravian Czech Mountain Song.

English Translation:

O, mountain O
The children are herding their dear cows shoo them as always,
calling them out of the village:
O, mountain, O!
My dear cows are eating all around me until the evening bells ring, (then)
I will go home with you.
I will go behind the hills as my sheep graze!
I will go to Maria, my dear friend.
The children herding their dear cows shoo them as always,
calling then out of the village:
O, mountain, O

@KEJKS

for the best interpretation I would listen Ostrava childrens´choir - since the sopranos are supposed to be a bit higher- the song itself was primarily arranger for childens choirs and is widely used among Chez choirs

I heard this live 10 years ago from the girls choir "jitro".

I agree with KEJKS, the pronunciation is good, near to the native Czech speaker. It had to be quite hard to learn wo someone, who speaks Czech well. It is the language hard to learn for abroaders by both grammar and pronunciation.
