Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My young bride, why are your shoulders like that
Of a tired old woman?
Like a tired old woman
[Verse 2]
My young bride, why are your fingers like that
Of the hedge in winter?
Of the hedge in winter
[Verse 3]
Polonaise in winter, snow shoes and hunters
Carry the goods in for you
[Verse 4]
My young bride, why aren't you moving at all?
Helps to make the day seem shorter
Helps to make the day seem shorter
[Verse 5]
My young bride, why aren't you keeping with you
All the ones who really love you?
All the ones who really love you
[Verse 6]
Polonaise in winter, snow shoes and hunters
Carry the goods in for you
Darkness and forests grant you the longest
Face made for porridge and stew
[Verse 7]
Polonaise in winter, snow shoes and hunters
Carry the goods in for you
Darkness and forests grant you the longest
Face made for porridge and stew
[Verse 8]
Polonaise in winter, snow shoes and hunters
Carry the goods in for you
Darkness and forests grant you the longest
Face made for porridge and stew
[Verse 9]
Polonaise in winter, snow shoes and hunters
Carry the goods in for you
Darkness and forests grant you the longest
