    FIZESS, AMENNYIT AKARSZ: Képzeld el úgy, mintha ONLINE KALAPOZÁS lenne! Ha az utcán hallanám engem ezeket a dalokat énekelni, mennyit dobnál be a kalapomba? Egy százast? Kettőt? Ötöt, esetleg többet?

    A különbség annyi, hogy ezen a weboldalon nem csupán egy-egy dal néhány rövid percét kapod, amit csak az emlékezetedben vihetsz magaddal, hanem akárhányszor meghallgathatod őket, ahol csak szeretnéd.

    Plusz, bónuszként helyes ajándékokat is kapsz: fotókat, videókat és más dalokat.

    A LETÖLTÉS LÉPÉSEI:

about

Greetings from South Bohemia, with the first ever Christmas recording from Andrea Gerák!

The song Byla cesta, byla ušlapaná is from another part of Czechia: a Moravian traditional Christmas coral. It talks about Elizabeth telling to Mary that she should not travel to the church for the mass because of the birth she is about to give.

I made this recording in Cesky Krumlov, under the arcades of the City Hall building. As live as it can get: with tourists passing by (one of them giving me with thumbs up: "Good!"). At the end you can hear me saying: "Alžběta!", because a family with a small boy and two baby twins who are all fans of mine (yes, the kids too, already!), were listening and the father (who was humming along for a few seconds) came closer to me, holding the girl called Alžběta. This is the Czech version of the name Elizabeth.

The video you can see here youtu.be/F1EXt-tD9hQ is also Cesky Krumlov: on the second Advent Sunday, we had such a beautiful snow. My singing and the whole sound is a little bit different. You will get that audio as a download bonus.

LYRICS:


BYLA CESTA, BYLA UŠLAPANÁ.
KDO JU ŠLAPAL? MATKA KRISTA PÁNA.

POSTŘETLA JU TAM SVATÁ ALŽBĚTA:
KAMPAK KRÁČÍŠ, SESTŘIČKO MÁ MILÁ?

KRÁČÍM, SESTRO, KRÁČÍM DO KOSTELA,
POSLÚCHAT MŠE SVATÉHO NEŠPORA.

NECHOĎ, SESTRO, NECHOĎ DO KOSTELA,
POVÍDAJÚ, ZE PORODÍŠ SYNA.
