Hora vysoká
Polemic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

hora vysoká, cesta úzka
sukňa široká, biela blúzka
keď som išiel za milou
poza mladé bučky
ďaleko som nezašiel
spievali mi cvrčky
keď som išiel za milou
poza staré ploty
tlačili ma topánky aj
pľuzgiere z roboty
moja milá premilá
asi budeš sama




ja zostávam doma spať
počkaj si do rána

Overall Meaning

The first line of Polemic's "Hora vysoká" sets the scene for the song, with a high hill and a narrow path. The imagery of the wide skirt and white blouse worn by the singer's love interest adds to the romantic tone. As the singer walks towards his love through the young beech trees, he doesn't get very far, as the crickets sing a lullaby that makes him feel content and at peace. When he moves past the old fences, however, he starts to feel the effects of his long day, with blisters from his work shoes and fatigue from working hard.
