Smutne Rzeczy

Traditional Polish folk song arranged for voice and Javanese siter in Pelog Nem scale.

Sarna (Hej przez żywieckie pola)(Demo)

he was blue and scared
had a long tail and green eyes
I could calmly sleep all night
holding his soft pink paws

during our orange days
after tripping we used to drink tea
happy and content
with our adventurous dreams

he smelled like pie 
and peppermint
and stroking was his favourite thing
I wish so much that he had not turned brown

when sadness was dripping 
out of his nose and other spots
I was bringing him birds 
and different types of pastry

we were playing 
hide and seek one day
I couldn't find him anywhere
and I realized he was gone

I put myself on fire
and watched our yellow house burn

he smelled like pie 
and peppermint
and stroking was his favourite thing
I wish so much that he had not turned brown

he smelled like pie 
and peppermint
and stroking was his favourite thing
I wish so much that he had not turned brown

Brownie

Polish folk song arranged for Javanese siter and voice

Hej bystra woda, bystra wodzicka  
Pytało dziewce o Janicka 
Hej lesie ciemny, wirsku zielony  
Kaj mój Janicek umilony

Hej powiadali, hej powiadali 
Hej, ze Janicka porubali 
Hej porubali go Orawiany 
Hej za łowiecki, za barany

Hej bystra woda

our places - knots in stomach
rainy evenings, boys in bars
they're always putting me down,
you said they're always putting me down

when we were dancing in the kitchen
on the sofa in the backyard
barefoot, in sun
you said "can you marry me now"
before everything went South

and look where I'm right now

I try as hard as I can 
to not come across as
enthusiastic clown
