Dancing the Hora: Everything You Need To Know - Smashing the Glass

What is, hands down, the most fun and exciting part of any Jewish wedding? In the immortal words of Anthony from Sex and the City, the answer is: “the hora! THE HORA!”
The hora (sometimes called Jewish Dancing or Israeli Dancing) is a highly energetic Israeli circle dance, and guests are supposed to put as much vigor and enthusiasm into it as they would on their own wedding day. Danced to klezmer music, it’s usually the part of the wedding where you’ll see the happy couple lifted on chairs (equal parts exhilarating and terrifying), or being thrown about on a sheet!
At religious, Orthodox Jewish weddings, men and women dance the hora separately, with a dividing wall, while Reform, Liberal and Jew-ish weddings tend to keep the party in one place.
It’s an amazing challenge for any photographer, to capture the mayhem, and frankly, at this point, brides can forget about their hair and makeup, because things are going to get sweaty!
So, given how integral the hora is to a real Jewish knees up, how do you make it happen? Here are some tips to getting everybody at your wedding involved in this boisterous and brilliant tradition.

Kick off with klezmer music
If your budget can stretch to it we highly recommend a live band. Whether it’s a live band who can play some klezmer classics, or a traditional klezmer band, it’s all in the music. If live entertainment is a little out of budget, we advise putting together a klezmer playlist or asking your DJ to dedicate a special portion of the evening to it.
There are many traditional melodies to choose from. If you’re not sure where to start, YouTube is a great source of inspiration for hora songs. This video alone is a medley of some of the most popular songs to dance the hora to, to get your playlist going.

Learn some basic hora steps
Chances are, if you’re having a Jewish or Jew-ish wedding, that you’re probably already a somewhat accomplished hora dancer.
However, if you’re a little unsure of what happens when you dance the hora, why not brush up before the big day?
Whether you find a local Israeli dance class or teacher to help you out, or you use one of the many YouTube tutorials available, make sure you’re confident enough to whip up enthusiasm among your guests. They will, after all, be following your lead.

Appoint hora dance leaders
Some klezmer bands have somebody specifically designated to get into the fray, encourage your guests to join in and show everybody what to do. This is a really great investment for creating an amazing atmosphere. However, if that stretches the purse strings a little too much, try appointing some more experienced friends and family members to lead the hora dancing when the time comes.

When to dance the hora
There’s no right or wrong time to dance the hora.
Some couples choose to do so before dinner is served, others to kick off the dancing, while some wait until later in the evening.
There are advantages and disadvantages to all. The hora is a great way to get everyone up and dancing, because it’s so easy and accessible, so earlier in the evening has its benefits. Having said that, a pre-dinner hora can lack energy and a post-meal hora… well… it’s a lot of moving around after a big meal.
Ultimately, it’s up to you and what is most important to you, as well as the unique flow of your day. For example, it might be a shame to get everyone out of their seats for the hora, only to seat them again for the meal and lose momentum. Personally, we feel the hora is best danced when guests are really ready to let loose, after all the photos and moments are captured, and when you’re ready for that energy to continue throughout the evening.
On the other hand (sorry to sound like Tevye), it might be wise to be lifted in your chairs earlier, rather than later, for more safe, sober pairs of hands.
If you’re not sure, chat to your band or DJ and perhaps ask them to use their best judgement where the Israeli dancing is concerned.

How much time to dedicate to the hora
Generally, the hora is danced for anything from five to twenty minutes. It really depends on the demographic of your guests, how much they enjoy the dancing and how soon they start flagging.
The best thing to do is to have your band or DJ judge the lay of the land on the night, as people might be totally up for a bit more of a dance than you realise, or might tire quicker than you anticipated.
If you have a medley of songs you simply love, and want included, allocating more time to the hora is a good idea.
We love love LOVE the Jewish dancing and our top tip? Have your face glisten with glee (and sweat) during the Hora – totally and utterly go for it – do not worry about your make up or your dress – this is SUCH a joyous moment – be sure to let go!
What to Know About the Jewish Hora Dance
The hora dance (sometimes referred to as the chair dance) is traditionally performed at Jewish wedding receptions. It’s high energy and at some weddings can even go on for hours. It certainly takes stamina, but it’s lots of fun and is often considered one of the highlights of the wedding.
What Is the Hora Dance?
The hora is a traditional dance performed at Jewish weddings where the newlyweds are lifted into the air while their family and friends dance in circles around them. During the hora, the couple each holds one end of a handkerchief or napkin to signify their union.
Here, wedding planner Ruth Spirer takes us through this long-standing tradition.

The History of the Hora Dance
Traditional circle dances are nothing new. For centuries they’ve been practiced in many cultures across the Balkans and Southeastern Europe. The Turkish have their own version; so do the Romanians, the Bulgarians, and the Russians. The modern-day hora dates back to 1924 when a hora was performed for the Jews that were settling land in Palestine. It became associated with joy and has been performed at special occasions like weddings, both in Israel and America, ever since.
While historical horas were performed with individuals twirling in circles, these days they are done in a group circle. Participants join hands and move in choreographed steps (don’t worry—they are easy to learn). In more traditional Jewish communities men and women dance separately in their own circles.
In more modern communities men and women dance together in coed circles with the couple in the middle.
Hora Dance FAQs
When should the hora be done?
The hora dance is performed during the wedding reception. There is no set rule for when it should be completed, but most couples chose one of two options. “The hora dance can be done as soon as the couple is introduced to the guests at the beginning of the reception,” says Spirer. “Or it can be done after dinner and then immediately open the dance floor for more dances with high energy.”
Who joins into the hora?
The short answer is everybody who wants to and is able. “All the guests join, and this is why at Jewish weddings it is recommended to have a large dance floor and enough space in the ballroom to accommodate this dance,” suggests Spirer.
Who is lifted on the chairs during the hora?
While the couple is always lifted on chairs, sometimes the couple’s immediate family members, parents, and siblings are also lifted into the middle of the circle.
Who lifts the couple onto the chairs?
Anybody can do the honors as long as they are strong enough. It can be hard work, so it’s common to swap people in and out to do the lifting as the dance goes on. Sometimes lifters are appointed beforehand while others spontaneously run into the middle of the circle. Even in traditional weddings where men and women dance separately, it’s common to see men lift the bride as well as the groom. “The groomsmen many times will be in charge of lifting the couple on the chairs during the dance,” says Spirer.
When should you start planning the hora?
It’s best to start planning the wedding reception two months before the wedding, and this includes the hora. Discuss with the DJ or the live band when you want the hora to take place and make sure they are prepared to play the right music. Don’t forget to discuss the length of the dance too!
Who plays the Hava Nagila?
A live band or a DJ can play the music for the hora.
Just make sure the musicians are aware that you want to do the hora at your wedding and make sure they know how long you want them to play the music as the length of the dance varies.
Who initiates the hora?
It’s up to the wedding party and close friends and family of the couple to make sure the hora dance goes smoothly. If they get the circles moving, everybody else will follow.
Who dances inside the circles during the hora?
Often during the hora smaller circles are formed inside the larger circle. Because the couple is in the center of the circle, it’s customary to pull different groups in to dance with them. Put one bridesmaid or groomsmen in charge of encouraging guests of the wedding to swap in and out so everybody gets a turn.
What should the napkin be made of?
It doesn’t matter what the napkin is made of as long as it’s sturdy enough to withstand the dance and long enough for the couple to hold on each end. Often, a cloth napkin from the table setting is used.
It can also be a piece of fabric that is meaningful to the couple.
How long should the hora be?
The hora can last as long as the couple desires. It can be a quick song or it can last multiple hours with different renditions. At more traditional weddings the hora lasts longer. At some Jewish weddings, the guests only do circle dances at the reception.

to the left - bridge
(Polish song). Music by L. Gradshtein
1. In the morning on a crowded tram
Going to the factory,
I see how young Warsaw is
It rises above the wide Vistula.
Quarters, avenues and parks around,
Spacious track with a tunnel - and suddenly ...
Chorus:
Right - bridge,
Left - bridge,
And the Vistula is in front of us.
And here at home,
And there at home,
Dressed in forests.
Here are the cars flying, overtaking
Blue tram cars.
Shines with bright novelty
Warsaw, my native city!
2. I love returning from Prague,
Stand on the shore -
Here I meet my beloved city
And I can't part with it.
Here are the new buildings in rows.
And Marienstat smiles at me...
Chorus:
Right - bridge,
Left - bridge,
And the Vistula is in front of us.
And here at home, And there at home,
Dressed in forests.
Here over the Vistula, touching the wave,
Our song flies labor.
And breathes the wind and spring
Warsaw, my native city!
3.
I'll look left and right,
To houses, to a noisy bridge -
Before me is the new Warsaw
All in lights, as in thousands of stars.
Lights reflected in dark water,
And our song is sung everywhere.
Chorus:
Right - bridge,
Left - bridge,
And the Vistula is in front of us.
And here at home,
And there at home,
Dressed in forests.
Here are the cars, sparkling with lights,
Overtaking tram cars.
Shines with bright novelty
Warsaw, my native city!
In my beloved Bucharest
(Romanian song). Music by M. Veskan
1. Crowns of old chestnuts
They whisper to us tirelessly:
Our glorious ancient city
Years have not touched, no!
You have become even more festive,
Brighter, louder and more beautiful.
Young in our youth
Hometown, Bucharest.
Chorus:
Here, in my native Bucharest,
The darkness dissipated under the sun.
Spring Circle Garden
New life blossomed.
Here, in my native Bucharest,
We create our own happiness.
Peacefully Under the Silk of Heaven
Blossoming native Bucharest!
2. Wonderful life building,
We are with you with all our hearts.
Let the lights of new buildings
Shine brighter around,
To make you more beautiful,
For you to bloom like in a fairy tale,
Our Feeling Caress,
Hometown, Bucharest.
Chorus.
3. Flashed in green crowns
Reflection of distant stars.
How many lovers are in the parks,
Songs and joyful meetings!
The beauty of these meetings with a sweetheart
You generously gave us.
Fortunately, you opened the way for us,
Hometown, Bucharest.
Chorus:
Here, in my native Bucharest,
The darkness dissipated under the sun.
Spring Circle Garden
New life blossomed.
Here, in my native Bucharest,
We create our own happiness.
Peacefully Under the Silk of Heaven
Blossoming native Bucharest!
Oh you, the Black Sea
(Bulgarian song). Arranged by D. Pritzker. Russian text S.Ginsberg
Oh, the Black Sea,
Surf at dawn,
Waves rebellious,
My native coast!
Oh, fragrant meadows,
Grass in silver,
Fields are golden,
The sky is blue.
That is not a dove with a dove
Cooed in the spring -
Spared with Elena
Christo young.
And wandering with the flock
Between steep stones,
Sang about brown eyes
Lovers of his.
There was clear happiness,
Like a short sleep:
Elenka beautiful
The Turk took in full.
Since then, only whistles
Under the mountain are heard -
This is Christo the Valiant
Takes revenge on the enemies of the country.
Oh, the Black Sea,
Surf at dawn,
Waves rebellious,
My native coast!
Wisla
(Polish song). Arranged by V. Ivannikov. Russian text by T.Sikorskaya
1. Hey, Vistula, the sky shines in the depths, in the depths.
I have a knapsack with bread on my belt, on my belt.
I will play the flute - the forest sings, the forest sings.
The dear will hear the song - and sigh, and sigh.
2. Our Vistula, you are like a blue flower, blue,
we will see everything in the world, we are with you, we are with you.
You flow beyond the foggy forest to the seas, to the seas -
say hello to the desired one quickly, quickly!
3. Let the dove not shed tears, do not be sad, do not be sad,
let the girl's eyes, like stars, shine, shine!
My fire is shining over the river, I sing, I sing, -
the wind carries my song, my song,
Marosh
(Hungarian song).
Arranged by M. Koval. Russian text by L. Glazkova
1. Why are you so sad, Marosh?
A guitar is thrown by the window...
You don't look at me, you look into the distance,
Believe me, I love you, stop sadness!
2. Oh, your words are a sharp knife to me!
Very well, dear, you lie!
I know who you spent the night with,
How you drove me out of my heart away.
3. Oh, forgive me, Maros, my deceit -
Now drunken fumes, then evil dope.
For you, I'm ready to forget everyone,
I can only love you!
4. Water does not flow back in the river.
You poisoned my heart forever.
It would be better never to know you,
How can I lose faith in you.
Flower
(Albanian song). Arranged by L. Schwartz. Russian text by S. Bolotin and T. Sikorskaya
1. A flower in my garden,
Like the blue of a sea wave
I can hardly find another like this!
All the flowers around him
Envy is full,
He eclipsed them with blue,
He is like the depth of a wave.
Chorus:
My flower, my gentle,
My blue color!
You are the prettiest of all,
There is no better in the world!
2. Come to me soon,
Come, my love!
Girlfriends you dearer
I do not know.
Blue eyes, lighter than yours,
I hardly find it.
You overshadowed by beauty
All the flowers in the garden.
Chorus:
My flower, my gentle,
My blue color!
You are the prettiest of all,
There is no better in the world!
Why didn't you go?
(Slovak song). Processed by V. Neyedly. Russian text by S. Bolotin and T. Sikorskaya
Why didn't you come to me
Moonlight evening?
I sat by the window,
I cried alone,
My dear friend!
I sat by the window,
I cried alone,
My dear friend!
Would you like to come in during the day?
Let's sit down with you.
Will you tell me loving:
"Oh, how I love you,
My dear friend!"
Will you tell me loving:
"Oh, how I love you,
My dear friend!"
Danced, but didn't know
(Slovak song).
Arranged by V. Novak. Russian text by S. Bolotin and T. Sikorskaya
She danced, but did not know,
What fate decided for me,
Where grief awaited me!
I see, there, downcast eyes,
Another one is dancing with you,
Your hot gaze is full of affection.
Danced, but did not know,
What did I lose that night?
How little happiness is in this life... Eh!
Your eyes are to blame, Maria!
(Romanian song). Music by N. Chirculescu. Words by T. Brudiu. Russian text by S. Bolotin and T. Sikorskaya
I haven't seen you like this —
You are terribly evil.
Maybe I offended you?
What is it, dear?
The fact that I kissed lips?
The fact that I untwisted the braids?
But let them scold me -
I am not guilty!
Your eyes are to blame, Maria,
If I stole your kiss,
Thick hair is to blame,
Lips like pink coral!
I'd still kiss them, by God,
And not once, but ten thousand times!
Even a million won't be much
For such wonderful brown eyes!
Are you afraid of a kiss,
You are angry with me.
But understand that I can't
Live a day without you.
The work is over, the earth is covered with dew.
We are alone, around only the garden of May.
How? Are you still angry?
Well, so here it is, kiss yours!
On - take it back!
The time has come
(Polish song). Arranged by V. Ivannikov. Russian text by S. Kondratiev
The time has come to part with you,
You won't see me for a long time.
In the memory of the greedy I will keep everything,
All conversations and meetings.
I sail to distant countries,
You will forget my voice.
Through nights and days, through long years
I will carry my loyalty to you.
No need to cry in bitter separation,
But 'remember me, dear!
If you can't keep love in your soul,
You will lose your soul.
If you can't keep love in your soul,
You will lose your soul.
Cranes are flying away
(Hungarian song).
Arranged by J. Frenkel. Russian text G. Registan
1. Sad cry on a gray morning
Again I hear in the distance.
They send me their farewell greetings
Cranes in the gloomy sky.
Do you remember to meet them in the spring
Together we went to the river with you.
How did it happen, I don't know,
I see the cranes on their way
I alone…
2. On a clear morning to us in the spring
With a song of happiness and love
To the old nests over the river
The cranes will return again.
Only meet them in the spring
You will come to the river with another.
How did it happen, I don't know,
I did not make a nest with a sweet one.
I alone…
Black-eyed
(Albanian song). Arranged by L. Schwartz. Russian text by T. Sikorskaya
My nightingale, my sonorous friend,
You fly, fly to a distant native land.
There beyond the blue of the seas
black eyed my
At a sad hour, night
Sing a song about me.
Let her not yearn there,
He does not look at the road at the window.
Let alone in silence
Remembers me
And waiting for me in my native land,
My dove!
Spring Beauty
(Albanian song). Arranged by L. Birnov. Russian text by O.Fadeyeva
Grasses clothed the mountain slopes.
The birds sang in the green grove.
Clear good day, I'm waiting for you,
Waiting for you, my moth, in my garden.
Chorus:
White apple trees lush color
Decorates the garden.
For the hearts of lovers no
No barriers.
You are beautiful like spring,
Just as young.
You brought me happiness,
Be with me forever.
2. If I rarely meet you,
Silently I suffer, I secretly miss,
I'm looking for you everywhere. Come soon!
I always want to be together with my sweetheart!
Chorus:
3. You see, in nature, a spring holiday,
You see, among the people there is joy, fun,
Songs sound around, there is no end to them.
We will forever merge our hearts with you!
Chorus:
White apple trees lush color
Decorates the garden.
For the hearts of lovers no
No barriers.
You are beautiful like spring,
Just as young.
You brought me happiness,
Be with me forever.
In the dense forest
(Polish song). Arranged by T. Sygetinsky. Russian text by A.Mashistov
1. Oh, in the dense forest
A ringing stream flows,
Oh it's flowing.
Who walks, who rides,
Who walks, who rides -
Everyone there drinks water.
2. Oh, don't drink from the stream,
Borom going deaf,
Oh deaf:
The key muddied that,
The key muddied that
A girl with an evil heart.
3. Her dress is elegant,
Eyes that star beam,
Star beam.
Though she is ruddy, And comely,
And our muddied the key.
4. Though the source is cloudy,
He will become clean again,
Oh, again.
Though we are rich
Don't dress up,
Better not to find us!
Marinike
(Romanian song). Music by X. Malinyanu. Words by J. Fulga, E. Mir and N. Constantinescu. Russian text of G. Registan
1. Morning…
Again the sun shone in the sky,
With the song together we go to work.
Who is hiding under the covers again?
Who is basking there, embraced by a sweet dream?
Marinike, our sloth!
Marinika in happy dreams
Sees that he was the first to get up today
And before all He ran to his workshop.
Chorus:
Marinike, Marinike,
Open your eyes soon!
In a dream, only you are a hero!
And in reality - overslept
And again late.
And life flies forward like a bird,0040 Gotta hurry,
Marinike, Marinike.
She brings happiness to the best
You are a laggard!
Ay wake up
You don't oversleep happiness in life,
Marinike, Marinike!
2.
At noon in the red corner, noisy today
Jokes, laughter at the workshop wall newspaper,
Who wanders lonely and gloomy,
Whose eyes are blacker than thunderclouds?
Marinike, it's you. Marinike, in the wall newspaper
They all write that you let your shop down again,
What is best of all You can only ... sleep!
Chorus:
Marinike, Marinike,
Around, my friend, take a look:
Our days are wonderful.
Your friends rather
Catch up at work.
After all, life flies forward like a bird,
Gotta hurry,
Marinike, Marinike,
She brings happiness to the best
You are a laggard!
Ay wake up
You catch up with this happiness,
Marinike, Marinike!
3, Evening the stars over the village light up.
In a quiet park, a nightingale sings in the distance.
Who again sighs under my window,
Who doesn't let me sleep until dawn?
Marinike, why aren't you sleeping?
Marinike, well, you understand:
Should we give you our heart?
Suddenly, in trouble, you will sleep,
And it will be stolen!
Chorus:
Marinike, Marinike,
Oh, I can't, dear,
I will become your wife,
Our whole factory will start
Laugh at me:
Bride I am one of the best,
You are a laggard,
Marinike, Marinike,
You must achieve work
Glory and honor.
Keep in mind, then I will become your faithful friend,
If you are the first in the shop,
If you wake up
Seven o'clock instead of seventeen0040 If you don't get sleepy
But stay in love,
In the workshop - strict and diligent,
At home - affectionate and gentle.
In the meantime, go get some sleep (ah-ah!),
Marinike, Marinike. Marinike,
Marinike. Marinike, Marinike!
My friend
(Romanian song). Music by N. Kcrculescu. Words by T. Brudiu. Russian text by S. Bolotin and T. Sikorskaya
Tell me why you are
Don't take a job
Wandering all around,
My unfortunate friend?
Why are you late at night
Under the window you count the stars,
And the dawn will ascend to heaven -
Are you standing there, sighing bitterly?
Your plow is also abandoned,
Your meadow is not mowed,
You've got the whole thing,
And you and grief a little!
Don't sigh heavily -
The whole village guessed,
What are you following me,
That it's all about love!
Listen, aren't you ashamed?
It hurts even me to look:
Everyone laughs at you
Over your dashing fate!
If you don't stop groaning,
You will live very badly,
In a dark house, among the dust,
How we lived under the masters!
I know that this is why you are
Running away from work
You walk as if in a hop,
That I don't love you -
So get down to business,
Be an example for the village,
And to work, standing behind the plow,
Put your heart into it, my friend!
And in the fall, after the harvest,
We will make each other an oath.
And then only, my dear,
I will become your wife!
I left early in the morning
(Polish song). Arranged by V. Ivannikov. Russian text by L. Nekrasova
1. I left early in the morning
In the field on a horse.
In the field flight len Marysya,
Smiled at me.
I then said to Maryse:
- Be my wife!
- I can't work,
Get lost with me!
2. — Why weren't you lazy
Get up early in the morning?
— Len weed me forcibly
Forces mother!
— I have birch tree
growing Near the window,
Can you work
Teach her.
3. — Go your own way,
Stop learning
Didn't ask if I would get married,
And I was going to hit! —
- Be my wife, Marysia,
We are together,
Dividing the work in half,
Let's live well!

Sladek. Russian text by S. Bolotin and T. Sikorskaya
1. By God, I have
Lots of money,
Chickens don't peck.
There is a brick
Big house,
I would live in it
Happy soul.
Only
It's not for me to live there,
In this house -
This house is someone else's.
2. By God, I have
Lots of money,
Chickens don't peck.
There is a carriage
I have
And team
Three horses.
Only
These horses
In that carriage
They don't take me.
3. By God, I have
Lots of money,
Chickens don't peck.
For marriage,
For crown
I myself chose
Two rings,
But they are still
Showcase
In the merchant's shop.
4. By God, I have
Lots of money,
Chickens don't peck.
I'll tell you a secret,
Whatever chickens,
No money. -
Because, My little light,
These
money Chickens don't peck!
Picky Bride
(Czech song).
Music by A. Dolukhanyan. Russian text by L. Nekrasova
1. The girl is twenty years old,
One hundred suitors wooed the girl.
He is not famous,
He is not stately,
He is not rich.
All denied,
Everyone is out of sight.
And that one is not good,
And he's not good!
The girl would be happy to get married.
And that one is not good,
And he's not good!
2. The girl has passed her thirtieth year,
The girl was wooed by one groom.
He is noble,
He is stately,
Not rich!
Also refusal,
Drives away from the eyes.
In the pocket of a penny -
The groom is not good!
The girl would be happy to get married.
In the pocket of a penny -
The groom is not good!
3. The girl is forty-five years old,
And the girl has no suitors!
Though not noble,
Though not stately, Though a freak -
Everyone is good, Everyone is nice,
Yes, just here.
Nobody takes!
The girl would be glad to marry,
Yes, just here. Nobody takes!
Happy little girl
(Slovak song). Arranged by V. Novak. Russian text S.Ginsberg
It's fun for her to dance,
Joyfully, freely her heart,
Like a frisky fish in a fast river,
In a fast river!
2. Goes into the field - loudly sings songs,
Deftly with girlfriends mows and reaps,
Together they gather flowers,
Twist-curl their own wreaths,
Vyut wreaths.
3. There is no need for a girl to rush into marriage,
Right, lead a mile round dance,
It is a pity to part with the girl's share,
It is joyful for a little bird to live in freedom,
Live freely!

Over the mountain the evening sun extinguished
(Bulgarian song). Arranged by M. Ferkelman. Russian text by N. Dobrzhanskaya
Over the mountain the sun extinguished the evening,
Behind the mountain, the evening stars shone.
And in Marco's hands the violin sang loudly.
Couples rushed dashingly.
Dana and Marco sat on the porch,
Marco sighed softly.
"Be the brightest star to me -
Whispered Dana Marco young,
Whispered passionately, Dana looking into the eyes,
And hugged Dana warmly. —
You will dance with Marco tonight,
Kiss Marco."
He is spinning Dana, spinning faster and faster,
She whispers something softly in her ear.
Forgot the violin, only sees Dana,
Everyone wants to dance with her.
There are no legs better, there is no thinner camp,
Very good Dana!
The night is rushing fast, the night cannot be overtaken.
It's good to kiss Dana on the lips.
And dance together, scaring the night with laughter,
And drink wine from a glass,
And then again, hugging Dana,
Kissing on the lips is hot!
Anichka the miller
(Slovak song). Arranged by V. Novak. Russian text by S. Bolotin and T. Sikorskaya
- Anichka, My Darling,
Are your geese at home,
Is it all, is it all?
— Geese in the Mud At the Mudflow Dam,
Sat down!
Walked
To your cutie
I soaked my shirt
All to the thread, while chasing geese
From the dam To the gate,
While driving the geese from the dam
To the gate!
Be with me
(Czech song).
Processed by V. Neyedly. Russian text by S. Bolotin and T. Sikorskaya
1. Be with me,
My dear,
We are with you
We'll be two.
On a visit to that one,
To the one, the other,
Don't go, my dear!
Let her make me richer,
May she have good luck in everything,
But I love you
And I won't give up another!
2. Don't be jealous,
Don't Cry -
The other one,
I don't like.
But come in, forgive me,
I can get to her on the way!
And if you look at her,
You won't offend her -
And eat and drink,
And you will go dancing with her
3. No, native,
Dear,
Where there are dances,
There are affection.
Hey, hey,
I know better -
You only dance with her!
It can be seen that you are no joke
Under her you dance a tune.
God be with you,
And with me
Another will dance.
4. If so -
Everything is a trifle,
The other one,
I will drive.
Me she
Not needed,
At least she's kind to me.
Let her live richly,
But scary as hell.
Not with another,
And with you
I will be everywhere, my angel!

A friend lives there.

In the old garden

Here the apple tree blossomed,
There was a forge here
In the old garden.

Whether onion,
Is it a turnip,
I forgot,
Whether he loves hard.
Ah, the apple tree blossomed
In the old garden!
2. To meet fate,
I broke up with you.
Sailed month blue
In a quiet pond
Chorus.

Will I walk along the fence,
Do you recognize me,
If I come?
Chorus:
Whether onion,
Is it a turnip,
I forgot,
Whether he loves hard.
Ah, the apple tree blossomed
In the old garden!
