Bobby Vinton - My melody of Love
transkrit
Does anyone know the lyrics to this love song of the seventies -- I've
got a bet on this one. Much appreciated.

Here they are:
I'm looking for a place to go
So I can be all alone
From thoughts and memories
So that when the music plays
I don't go back to the days
When love was you and me. Oh, Oh
Chorus:
Moja droga jacle kocham means that I love you so.
Moja droga jacle kocham more than you'll ever know.
Kocham ciebie calem serce love you with all my heart.
Return to me and always be
My Melody of Love.
Wish I had a place to hide
All my sorrow all my pride
I just can't get along
'Cause the love once so fine
Keeps on hurtin' all the time,
Where did I go wrong? Oh, Oh,
Chorus.

This is great - Thanks for posting these words. Can anyone write down the
grammatical spelling of how you would pronounce:
"Moja droga jacle kocham"
and
"Kocham ciebie calem serce"
Thanks,

At the risk of offending the "purists" out there, you might try:
"Moy-Yah Droh-Ga Yach-yeh Ko-Hahm"
---and---
"Ko-Hahm Chyeh-Byeh Kah-Lehm Sehr-Seh"
But then again, I *speak* Polish almost as good as I can *write* it. ;-)

It's good to know the proper pronunciations of those Polish words. It's
also good to know that I've been pronouncing them right all along. This
song has a story for me. I have a Croatian female friend and whenever I
visit her I always have to bring my accordion because her family always
asks me to play Croatian music and the Pennsylvania Polka (they're from
Pennsylvania). One day Suzanne's grandmother came up to me and asked if I
knew any Polish tunes. I said I knew a few and she asked me if I could
play "that nice song by that nice Polish boy Bobby Vinton". I didn't know
which song she meant until she started singing it and so naturally I began
playing it. Ever since I've had to play and sing the song for her every
time I go over there.

the next word in the song is serce, meaning -heart- thus, "with all my

One additional comment, "Ja cie" is pronounced "Ya-chyeh" as opposed to
"yach-yeh". Minor, but quite a few bands don't do too well a job on the
Polish. I have to be careful on my radio show to not play any horrendous
Polish in order to not to offend those in my listening audience that speak
Polish.
Please, I'm not trying to be critical at all, just to add a few minor
corrections.

What time and day of the week is the polka show. I'm going to
try reception with a long wire.
I am able to get WABC and other east coast stations and possibly
your's too.

I'm a second generation American who was born and raised in the Polish
tradition, with Polish being my first language, although I've forgotten 99%
of it because I haven't used it in many, many years. So Toby's note re
Bobby Vinton touched a chord in me. Although Mr. Vinton is American,
because of his contributions in promoting the Polish culture, I understand
he was made an honorary Polish citizen some years ago. I'll occasionally
do "My Melody of Love," singing (actually an imitation of singing) it in
Polish/English at the restaurant where I entertain every Friday night.
I've had a couple of people request it--they are usually Polish or of
Polish origin. The most recent request was just two or three weeks ago.
I've always liked "My Melody of Love."
