OK. As i mentioned, I’m starting a new series of posts here. What I’m interested in is the more-or-less literal translation of various Polish Christmas Carols (Kol\u0119dy). I am trying to understand their meaning in Polish. So, i am posting my more-or-less literal translation, side-by-side with the Polish. But I’d appreciate your comments and clarifications to help me get to the real meaning behind these beautiful songs.<\/p>\n
