This song is about love, but it also has sexual undertones. The garden is a woman's womb, the rose is her sexuality and the lily is her virginity. Horses are male sexuality, and fear of horses is fear of sex. In the old days, it was the parents (in this case, the mother) who decided who a girl would marry.
do you know to meaning of all flowers mentioned in song? or know where i can found this?
This is rather your interpretation of this text, my friend... I doubt that the intention of the author of this particular text was to make it erotic. The song is a folk song, and folk work did not involve deep metaphors, because its authors were simple people, not very familiar with literary techniques, means and styles, but they understood matters more clearly, although perhaps not always directly. Regards.
There is more to this, all the plant names are also used for girls in Poland. So you could interpret this as girls chatting about boys they like. Or a boy boasting about his conquests.
@@o.GrzegorzMossakowskiCPSimple people=Sex soooo.....
@@o.GrzegorzMossakowskiCP Chyba żartujesz? Albo jesteś bardzo młody. Nie zdajesz sobie sprawy, że kiedyś ludzie byli tak samo zainteresowani seksem jak teraz, ale o seksie nie mówiło się wprost. Oczywiście, że ta piosenka ma podteksty seksualne: "Bo się kunia boję, bom jeszcze młoda" - jak myślisz, o czym to jest, o pojeniu konia? Na wsi żadne dziecko nie bało się konia, bo miało z nim na co dzień do czynienia, sprowadzało go z pastwiska i poiło co wieczór. Więc o jakiego "kunia" tu chodzi i o jakie "pojenie"?
Old songs have layers of meaning ;) They can sound silly on the outside but have a deeper meaning.
I'm Polish and I've heard this song soooooo many times, but, honestly, I've never focused on lyrics. Wow!
Well we both know how filthy this song is now 😂
yep. so now you know. and live with it.😉
almost all folk songs in poland have erotic subtects...
like 90% of them.😜
You have to know that each region of Poland has its own folk music, culture, dialect, costumes and cuisine.
No w pewnym sensie trochę bym się kłócił czy każdy region Polski ma swoją muzykę czy kulturę ludową. Polska zachodnia jest praktycznie dopiero na etapie kształtowania swojej tożsamości kulturowej. O ile Ślązacy mają swoją kulturę ludową to tacy dzisiejsi Lubuszanie czy Zachodniopomorzanie to praktycznie tygiel kultur ogólnopolskich jak np. Małopolskich czy nawet Litwińskich, Białoruskich, Ukraińskich.
@@zmotoryzowanymyxir W ramach przesiedleń z dawnych terenów Polski, wraz z ludźmi przyszła również kultura. Pomorze zachodnie oraz tereny woj. Lubuskiego zaludniali Polacy zza Buga czy okolic Lwowa więc mówienie o jakimś etapie kształtowania tożsamości kulturowej jest nieporozumieniem.
C'mon man, the subcontext's so out there 👀😂
You should check out the recent trailer for a polish movie “The Peasants” (“Chłopi” - polish title) 😊
I love folk songs and this is sung by band Rokiczanka - that have beautiful choreography and costumes that was used by village men . Every part of Poland got slightly different costumes as their traditions and customs slighlty differed. Such songs also try to preserve part of history ; showing colorful costumes, using national dances etc. Rob- please try to find original song - Rokiczanka - w moim ogródeczku and you will see what I mean
"Watering the horse" is a metaphor for sex. Not many people realize this, because traditional Polish folk culture has been superseded by pop culture, but the old songs are teeming with sexual innuendo and sometimes with bitter grievance toward the nobility and the clergy. Keep digging into Polish folk music, you won't regret it :)
is it?? haha
@@RobReacts1 The lyrics make more sense now, don't they? :D
haha yes a little! @@Jambur
@@RobReacts1She is virgin (young girl), and she is in love with guy and she is afraid of having sex with him.
And in my garden there is a Rose growing, its this what women have betwen legs
Actualy you can inteprete it with time line, frist part young girl meet guy, situation get close to sex, but she is young and got scared. She fell for the guy eyes as se explain in second part and next part the guy is asking her directly if she want to be his but she redirects as "i need to ask my mother". So theme in pop songs are always similar just older were less direct :) but im sure in times when this was popular at parties priests would say it is inappropriate song. :D
Many polish folk songs have a sexual tones and metafphores... In this, polish language is very rich. If don't use metphores for sex, use metaphores for drinking. Both things, polish peoples love every time.
Because this song is one big metaphor, you can't take the words literally. There is something different hidden under each word :)
This is easy. You have roses, rosemary and berries. There are symbolic plants. This plants in folk tradition were used for describe young girls before marrying. The horse is is symbolising energy of man
O święta naiwności. Naprawdę nie wiesz, co to "kuń"?
Oh Mr Rob, what a treat for my ears, young years coming back when I played on fiddle 🎻 music like this😊. Well my neighbours will have to thank you as I picked them up again and played few tunes 😀.
Rob you have to look between the lines to understand the message behind this song.
You doing better and better with speaking in polish, soon you will be announcing whole video in it, bravo 👏
haha I am just an innocent mind on this one
It is full of erotic innuendos ("Why don't you water my horse in your little garden..."). It teaches youngsters modesty and a proper attitude towards sex and marriage.
😊 it is a song about love and sex and marriage. Flowers in garden are symbols of virginity 😊
And hores is a symbol of penis😁
Ty tylko o jednym 😂
You sure got a one-track mind.
Give it a rest!
Not really Marriage but ... YES
Szkoda że nie zrobiłeś reakcij razem z klipem polecam zrobić reakcję na
Rokiczanka / Lipka
Rokiczanka / To i hola
Rokiczanka / Pastorałka od serca do ucha ( Rokiczanka jest najbardziej znanym zespołem w Polsce który wykonuje folkowe piosenki
Best reaction ever 😂😂😂
Wish you all the best mistrzu
Haha. I understood you. Without context from below comments it was also hard to me. Liked it and subscribed!
Myślę, że to najlepsza recenzja "hmmm, whats its growing in the garden?" xD
Wow, nice Polish!
Najpiękniejszy kraj... Najcudowniejszy, jedyny i wyjątkowy... Inny od wszystkich innych krajów. To kraj naszych ojców, dziadów i pradziadów. To ziemia święta...To ziemia gdzie bieleją kości bohaterów, wojowników i wielkich władców. Ta ziemia pila ich krew przez tysic lat, a i jeszcze dużo dużo wcześniej. To nie jest kraj sprzedajnych polityków, nowoczesnych postępowców i nijakich, przeciętnych "nowomodsów". Nie patrzcie nigdy w ten sposób, bo zatracicie korzenie. Widzac góry, lasy, morze i jeziora myślcie o tym, że to jest właśnie Polska. Swięta i czysta... Ukochana i jedyna. Innej ojczyzny nie mamy i damy jej nigdy nikomu.
Pozdrawiam.
Pięknie napisane. ♥️🇵🇱 Polska jest taka piękna, ale wielu tego nie docenia.
@@ginterka381996 ❤
You took that first verse too seriously 😉. A rose is a girl's purity. Horse....guess it 😂
I have a friend with whom we party for this song. Of course, we need to relax beforehand🤣
haha I didnt know I was meant to 'not be serious' haha. The real meaning is not what I expected
I was singing this song yesterday while house cleaning 😂😂
The song is propably 200 years old, young people back then had same desires as us today but they couldn't say it directly. Therefore 'w moim ogrodecku ( in my garden)', she's really means what her body offers..'.'rosnie rozyczka (rose grows) ' she's got something beautiful, comparing it to flower of rose... she's talking about vagin.a...Finally "napoj mi Maniusiu mojego konicka' ( feed my horse Maniusia girl.) Nie chce nie nie napoje bo sie konia boje bom jeszcze mloda' (No I don't want to give water to the horse because I'm still young). Some young guy's horse is thirsty. In Polish 'kon' horse is the acronym for peni.s.
Damn, you show so much love reacting to all those pieces of polish culture on this channel! 😉
You are a great human being, God bless you! 😇
Rob... It was not about horse... it's about sex. In first part "come one, lets try. No, i'm young, i'm affraid" and in other "who did this to you? John..." Garden, or flowers is a kind of metaphor for womans/girls innocence... maybe virginity, but not only for sex itself, but also thinks around it:P
funny is language...
"Ja zem była młoda, jak w boru jagoda."
Nobody says like it today. Today, or after translate english into polish it will be
"Byłam młoda, jak jagoda w lesie)
And i love this old fashioned language
Kapela Ze Wsi Warszawa - Żurawie moja propozycja
It is so funny to see clueless foreinger listening to Polish folk music that is mostly about sex. Hahahaha I can't :) Thx for the video :)
haha I suppose now I can understand the sex references haha
@@RobReacts1 There are some academic researches about the topic.

@@RobReacts1 Well Some Polish folk have that meaning not all but Some
It’s all about parallels. It’s all symbols that have a several meanings - well understood in the old days, most forgotten today.
But at least “you have a large… horse” you should understand dude.
That was kind of funny, even 50 years ago: the adults would sing, kids would not understand, no harm done, but the adults had a kick out of it.
There was no TV you know…
This song grow morales spirit in us heart so many age before
is good music for weddings and country parties, and here the rule applies, 0.5L of vodka in the body and the legs dance by themselves.
After 0,5L of vodka the legs no longer dance, they just think they are dancing.😅
@@movemelody1jop! that's practically true...even "no dancers" on Polish wedding's breakin legs to...
I recommend

Mała Armia Janosika / Dni których nie znamy
Mała Armia Janosika / Barka
Mała Armia Janosika / Zapada zmrok ( Panience na dobranoc )

Mała Armia Janosika it is one of the most famous highlander bands in Poland
Hello Rob : ) First of all, it's really fantastic to see that you're creating an episode about Polish folk music. I see it is really difficult for you to understand Polish folk music without the wider context of what life was like in the Polish countryside. I recommend you to watch the film "Chłopi" (Peasants) from 2023, it will help you to build a point of reference to Polish culture. Here is a short preview of the film: czcams.com/video/amHCTTvWP4o/video.html.
tbf I think he most iconic folk song is "czerwone jabłuszko"
11.11 the independence day coming soon, how about reacting to songs you'd hear at the school ceremonies? "my pierwsza brygada" "szara piechota" "biała róża"??
I also recommend getting into polish lullabies - they are low key CREEPY
eg. "laleczka z saskiej porcelany", "był sobie król, był sobie paź..." or "z popielnika na Wojtusia"
most Polish folk songs must be interpreted with sexual undertones :)
this can only be understood after half a liter of vodka :)
❤
Check out the song from the film The Peasants - JESIEŃ - TAŃCUJ
Posłuchaj polskich kolęd - polecam.
This is a song from the times when parents chose husbands for young girls. In the countryside, young people matured earlier by observing nature. The garden is the body. Every plant in this song symbolizes something. Mary from the song is not fully mature yet: she falls in love but is also afraid of her mother whether she will accept him.
in this folk song the rural language is used it means it is not the correct Polish language but something like a dialect
🤣🤣🤣kunia się boi
Rob, if you like folk music styles I think you would enjoy rabbit hole of 90's/early 2000's polish music. If not for the channel, then just for free time. It was quite popular to mix traditional style and instruments with modern topics and instruments. Few bigger groups with this style: Golec uOrkiestra, Brathanki, Zakopower
❤❤❤❤
Try "Jesień - Tańcuj" from The Peasants
Text construct maybe in 1600 or earlier. It's more old folk song.
A song about love never You've heard of something like this ?
How does it connect to Love? haha
@@RobReacts1to takie figlarne rozmowy kiedy przychodzi pora na amory.
@@RobReacts1yes... words in this song create coneversation...this is kind of flirt. Game of words. 😏
@@RobReacts1 I'm totally puzzled and amused by your reaction 😂😂. How come that the sexual undertones of this text are so obvious to Poles and completely missed by Rob? 🤪🤣 She is young and innocent so is afraid of his horse - Rob, really, is it just you so chaste 🤣😂or all British men are like that ?😉😂
listen to to the bant Mazowsze and Slask
If you are interested in Slavic folk metal, Mr. Rob, I can recommend band Żywiołak. Songs called "Noc Kupały" and "Epopeja Wandalska" are my favorites.
Lubię ten zespół i czasem słucham, więc dołączam się do poleceń :)
I also recommend checking out the only minus - there are no subtitles. - Guzowianki - Eh, poleczko
Hej Rob better listening "Rota" this is first song is polish people know this is unscribe first polish hymn "nationaly song"
Wish you watched the music video instead of just plain lyrics! You should definitely watch "Tu i hola" by the same band, it's so beautifully done and I think you'll enjoy it.
Rob, watch the Polish movie ''Kiler'' Good music and sense of humor!!!!!!
Many of old folk polish songs are about love and sex, haha. Title is usually about nature and...the rest of song is about girl and boy who want (or don't want to) be together.
Dzięki za fascynację naszą polską kulturą. Już widzę choreografię do polskiego tańca- krakowiaka. Pozdrawiam serdecznie! 🙂
A tę piosenkę śpiewałam w chórze w liceum.
I hope you will translate this sentence without any problems.
I would imagine that biggest 'magic' of this type of song, is that thy really used to dance and sing, and it was like tribes sing and dance around a fire, but more in Polish/Slovakian blood giving e, pression in that unique way. Video with them actually dancing and singing, 'how thay used to do it in the old days' would give you the proper context, as far as a feeling of that spirit of polish folklore goes.
Song for dancing
for sure!
Folk Song Miracle Of Sound - VALHALLA CALLING ft. Peyton Parrish (Assassin's Creed) Duet Version
Pozdrav svim mojim Poljacima iz Hrvatske. Hrvatska verzija pjesme: Ja se konja bojim. Samo jedan od dokaza da je Poljska zemlja nasih predaka i nasa velika sestrinska zemlja
In this song, you must take into account that in Polish the pronunciation is dialectal - the syllables sz and cz are flattened to s and c. This is what uneducated people living in villages once said. Both the pronunciation and the syntax are very anachronistic. And the song is very frivolous, but so understated that it escaped the censorship of the old people ;)
😁🇵🇱👍💞😁🇵🇱👍💞
You should listen to jesień - tańcuj from the new movie called the peasants (chłopi)
You should listen to some more Polish Music like:
- Czerwone Jagody (Red Berries) Polish Folk song [+Eng sub]
- Bij bolszewika! - (Polish Anti-Soviet Song)
- Nie masz nad żołnierza... - (Song about Polish soldier)
It was in World of Tanks
It is a pity you did not watch the original video for that song. It might not have subtitles but definitely show Polish village years ago
Zrób proszę reakcję na
Guzowianki / Czerwone jagody
Rokiczanka / Lipka
Rokiczanka / To i hola
Guzowianki / Nie jedź luby
Fun Fact Well that folk was soundtrack to a one World of tanks Studzianki place
Rob you have to understand you won’t be able to understand the total meaning.
You must be born in the Polish mountain to feel it !
Born in Poland and grown up in CANADA.
Cheers!
Don't give me that not understand the meaning because im not from Poland. Ok, whats the meaning?
@@RobReacts1 What I mean by that you have to have the blood and the heart of the mountain people to really feel it.
The rhythm is one thing and translations is another.
Do you read me.
Hey I am just saying it’s hard sometimes for foreigners to pick up the rhythm.
But I am glad you like the song.
May I recommend another song for you to study;
CZESLAW NIEMEN
SONG IS CALLED: DZIWNY JEST THE SWIAT.
Translation: The World is weird.
Cheers
It's about a Polish village girl that fell in love with a boy. And I belive the "horse" in the first stanza is symbolizing the you know what (wink wink) same as "rooster" but in British.@@RobReacts1
Actually, not in the Polish mountain. This song is originally from Lubelszczyzna- no mountains here, sorry. But I can see your point- they sing it the way Polish highlanders would.
@@katarzynapienkosz9226 Thanks for the lecture.
Appreciate it.
Have a great ☝️
Rob Try this version :) Guzowianki - W moim ogródecku. Or generally songs of Guzowianki like: Rokiczanka - LIPKA.
In the next Polish folklore film, please check out "ech poleczko" which is equally beautiful (and makes more sense lyrically) and apart from that it's a great film and keep it up!
Check "Ech poleczka" Guzowianki and band Rokiczanka 👍❣️

Wow, I'm really early
I recommend you check out Polish national dances.
Mongol Folk (top of the top)

In the first verse of the song there are obvious sexual overtones.
hej
Next song Siadła pszczołka na jabłoni

ps. song is about love, girl and boy ... and others girls talking about it , lovelly song, they was young and grow and grow and after this maybe will be togheter :P
Rob, I repeat my request :) for reactions to Adam Sztaba's song - "Orkiestra Online - Co mi panie dasz"
Its on the watch list :)
@@RobReacts1 could i add just two songs to the watchlist?
1. Dawid Podsiadlo - Let you down (a song made for cyberpunk series) czcams.com/video/BnnbP7pCIvQ/video.html
2. Laboratorium Piesni - Sztoj pa moru (a belarusian song by a polish band) czcams.com/video/04fEWQOwUD4/video.html
I think you will like these. :)
Perfect ;) Thanks Mate
@@JRTP-Bart77PL I learned about Laboratorium Piesni when i was listening to slavic music in general and i really liked how they sing. Thought you might like it, staying in the folk music theme of the video :)
If you wanna make it deep, some people found out that the polish highlander music have the same unique vibe as carabeans.

słowa tej piosenki to polska wiejska gwara...myślę, że niemożliwa do przetłumaczenia.
