Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Ah, Lovely Meadows (Czech or Polish?)
I absolutely love this song! I learned it before I lost my hearing in 1964, and I still sing it with great joy as I hike, bike or work.

OVER THE MEADOWS
English transaltion by A.D.Z.   Czech tune

Over the meadows green and wide
Blooming in the sunlight
Blooming in the sunlight
Over the meadows green and wide
Off we go a-roaming side by side.

(Hey) Streamlets down mountain go
Pure from the winter snow
Joining,they swiftly go
Singing of life so free
Streamlets down mountains go
Pure from the winter snow
Joining they swiftly go
Calling to me!

Sweet is the air with new-mown hay
Cooling in the twilight
Coolinng in the twilight
Sweet is the air with new-mown hay
As we homeward go at close of day.

(Hey) Streamlets down mountain go
Pure from the winter snow
Joining,they swiftly go
Singing of life so free
Streamlets down mountains go
Pure from the winter snow
Joining they swiftly go
Calling to me!
