This is the third day that I tried to record a song for openmic, and fourth song that I recorded. These last days, were for me to about listening to myself and doing things that I feel are really true for me. (and somehow nothing felt right, argh, do you know that frustrating feeling?)
Ironically enough, I have found my calling in this Polish song - I do not speak Polish (sorry for mispronunciation lovely people of Poland). I just love it. The depth, the pain, the rolling rrrrrs. (Finally the rrrrs. You know, English might missing out on couple of cool sounds :)
I think even without understanding the words you can feel it - it is an emotional roller coaster.
Also, random observation - this is an ultra comfortable position to sing songs and play guitar. I think I might incorporate it into some stage performing. Try it and let me know, if you love it as much as I do ;)
Original from Kayah and Bregovic.
In case you are curious, here are the lyrics - google translation below, and some chords, play along if you are into it :) I am still waiting to meet my Balkan guitarist :)
Kiedyś byłam różą h G
Dla twojego serca A F# G
Kiedyś byłam różą twoją A D
Cierniem jestem dziś F# h
Gdy się przyglądasz mi A G
Nie kobietą F# h H7
Bóg mi daje e D A
Bóg mi odbiera D F# h G
Kiedyś różą byłam e
Lecz nie jestem teraz F# h G F#
Od czasu do czasu h e
Jakbym słyszała nadal G A
Jak przechodzisz przez mój próg h e G
Miły A
Od czasu do czasu h e
Choć wiem że nie mam prawa G A
Bo nie jestem twoja już h e h
A na moim dachu h G
Gniazdo znów ożyło A F# G
Do domu bociany wróciły A D
A ja śniłam znów że jak one tu F# h A G
Wrócisz miły F# h H7
Bóg mi daje e D A
Bóg mi odbiera D F# h G
Kiedyś różą byłam e
Lecz nie jestem teraz F# h G F#
chorus + outro
Translation:
I used to be a rose h G
For your heart A F # G
I used to be your A D rose
I'm a thorn today F # h
When you look at me, A G
Not a woman F # h H7
God gives me D A
God takes from me D F # h G
I used to be a rose e
But I'm not now F # h G F #
From time to time h e
As if I still heard G A
How do you go through my threshold h e G
Dear A
From time to time h e
Although I know I do not have the right G A
Because I'm not yours anymore
And on my roof h G
The nest has come alive again, A F # G
Storks returned to the house, A D
And I dreamed again that like they are here F # h A G
You will come back, dear F # h H7
God gives me D A
God takes from me D F # h G
I used to be a rose e
But I'm not now F # h G F #
