lyrics

[ENG below]

Oj chmielu, chmielu
Ty bujne ziele
Nie bedzie bez cie
żodne wesele

Oj chmielu ,chmielu
po płocie sie pniesz
nie jednej dziołsze
wióneczek weźmiesz

Oj chmielu, oj nieboże,
Roz na dół roz ku górze,
Chmielu nieboże.

Oj chmielu, chmielu
nieochmielony
ten mój kochanek
niewydarzony

Byś ty o chmielu
po płocie nie loz
nie robiłbyś ty
z panienek niewiost.

Oj chmielu, oj nieboże,
Roz na dół roz ku górze,
Chmielu nieboże.

Oj chmielu, chmielu
Ty bujne ziele
nie będzie bez cie
żodne wesele

Oj chmielu, chmielu
szerokie liście
już młodą panią
oczepiliście

[ENG - description]

This is a traditional wedding song, telling the story on how the girl becomes the bride and the wife. It's most notable verse says (more or less):
"Oh dear hop, our marvelous herb
there cannot be a wedding without you"
Hop - is a plant used to make beer and it's actually the title of the song (Chmiel = hop), so there cannot be a wedding without hop (beer) - apart from being needed at the wedding, the song suggests that for the girl to become a bride... hop (beer) is also needed ;)
