Beer barrel polka (Skoda lasky),
("Roll out the barrel, we`ll have a barrel of fun"...),
performed by Miroslaw Marks, accordion.

Popularny utwor "Rosamunde", na akordeonie, gra Miroslaw Marks.
Rosamunde / Böhmische Polka, Komponist Jaromir Vejvoda (1929), gespielt von Miroslaw Marks, Soloakkordeon.

Text:
Ich bin schon seit Tagen
verliebt in Rosamunde;
Ich denke jede Stunde
sie muß es erfahren.
Seh ich ihre Lippen
mit dem frohen Lachen,
möcht ich alles wagen
um sie mal zu küssen.
Aber heut bestimmt geh ich zu ihr,
Gründe hab ich ja genug dafür;
Ich trete einfach vor sie hin,
und sag ihr wie verliebt ich bin.
Sagt sie dann : Ach, nein, ist's mir egal,
denn ich wart nicht auf ein ander Mal.
Ich nehm sie einfach in den Arm
und sage ihr mit meinem Charm:
Rosamunde,
schenk' mir dein Herz und sag' ja!
Rosamunde,
frag' doch nicht erst die Mama!
Rosamunde,
glaub' mir, auch ich bin dir treu,
denn zur Stunde, Rosamunde,
ist mein Herz grade noch frei.
Sie läßt mich noch warten
und lächelt nur von ferne,
ich wüßte nur zu gerne
wie andre es machen.
Verborgen als Veilchen
läg' ich in ihrer Nähe,
doch wenn ich sie sehe,
warte ich noch ein Weilchen.

HELENA POLKA

No accordion sites are complete without the Polka. So here it is; an American traditional...
Polka is a type of dance, and also a genre of dance music. It originated in the middle of the 19th century in Bohemia, and is still a common genre of Czech, Polish and Slovenian folk music; it is common both in Europe and in the Americas. In classical music, many polkas were composed by both Johann Strauss I and his son Johann Strauss II; a couple of well-known ones were composed by Bedřich Smetana and Jaromír Vejvoda, the author of Škoda lásky ("Roll Out the Barrel").

The name comes from German word Polka[1], meaning "Bohemian Dance" which comes from the Czech word polka, also meaning "Bohemian dance", which itself is lent from the Polish polka, literally meaning "Polish woman", fem. of Polak. The word may also be an German-originating alteration of Czech pulka, meaning "half." Due to its name it is often mistakenly attributed to Poland. It should also not be confused with the polska, a Swedish 3/4-beat (help·info) dance with Polish roots; cf. polka-mazurka. A related dance is the redowa. Polkas have a 4/4 time signature

A popular polka played on soprano ukulele. This was inspired by a version I heard from banjoist Bill Evans, who jokingly says he learned it because the banjo didn't sound happy enough already.
