about

A Czech traditional folk song, Oh Acorn, Acorn about love betrayed followed by an Irish tune, Maple Leaf.

lyrics

1. Ej, žalude, žalude jak jsi těžkej na dubě, pod tebou se celičkej strom k zemi ohýbe.

2. Vždycky jsi mně sliboval, dokud jsi k nám chodíval, dokud jsi mě, můj holečku, ještě miloval.

3. Sliboval´s mi, jak sluší, zaklínal se´s na duši, že se naše věrná láska nikdy nezruší.

4. Už je láska zrušená, už je všecka zkažená: do vodičky do hluboký je uvržená.

((1. Oh, acorn, acorn, how heavy you are on the oak, the whole tree is bent under you.

2. Thou hast always promised me, while thou didst come to us, while thou, my boy, didst still love me.

3. You promised me as you should, you swore on your soul that our faithful love would never be broken.

4. Now our love is all undone, everything is now spoiled: into the deep water it is cast.))

Poitín have performed at festivals across Europe. ... more
