Sob​ó​tecka

lyrics

[ENG below}

Sobótecka, krótka nocka
polyła się do północka.
Kasieńka się nie wyspała,
bo chustecka wysywała.

Wysywała i myślała
Komuć by chustecka dała
Domć jom memu najmilsemu
Jasińkowi prześwarnemu.

Przysed do niej pod uokienko
I zawołoł na kochanka
Pućma do biołego Jóna
boś już blisko moja żóna

[ENG - song description]:

The summer equinox had a magical meaning in slavic culture. There are many rituals associated with that day and this songs describes one of them: ritual finding your true love.
There are many versions of this ritual like:
- boys and girls all went to the forest together in a search of the mystical "fern flower", which was associated with fertility (and some said: what happened in the forest - stayed in the forest - turns out it's an old slavic custom :) )
- when a couple was already joined, to test their love they had to jump over a large bonfire together - if their love was strong, they would surely succeed.
