A Woman's Lot - Theresa Song

[Xv0st]

Just finish Woman's Lot DLC. Really liked the song about red apples (Theresa song). Аs Russian I understood about 10-20% of the song. Tried to google the lyrics, no luck. Who knows where to get a translation of the song or at least the full Czech text? Thanks.

Если не сложно, подскажите пожалуйста, где можно найти перевод или хотя бы полный текст песни Терезы о яблоках, на чешском, в дополнении женская доля.

Here's the czech lyrics grabbed from the video:

Červená se jablícko, v zahrádce nám zrálo
Můj milej nic nevidí, na néj že se smálo
Ztratilo se jablíčko v travíčce vysokej
Můj milej ho nenajde. bude ho mít jínej
Rozběhlo se jablíčko ze stráně u řeky
Můj milej ho nechyti

Google translate comes up with this:

Red apple, matured in the garden
My beloved sees nothing, not laughing at him
The apple in the high grass has been lost
My dear won't find him. he'll have another
An apple ran from the hillside by the river
My dear, don't catch him

[Xv0st]

Thanks. Now it’s clear that Teresa sings about herself. That the guy whom she loves does not notice her and he has a girlfriend. It's awful, but the Cumans gave her a chance...

Interesting analysis. I just thought it was about apples. Makes more sense what you said :-)

[Xv0st]

In Slavic languages, red is not only color but also rosy, flowering, bloomin, beautiful, young to the girl. In our languages, endings change the meaning of word very much. "Красна девица" Google translates as "red girl/maiden". But it means: Beautiful,young an unmarried girl/maiden.

PS: Sorry for my English.

Does anyone speak Czech and can understand the last part of the song at 1:23? There are no subtitles for this very last part and I would love to have the complete lyrics.

[Lorengil]

the last part is "uplave na věky".


I have attempted to translate it more precisely:
Little apple is shining red, in a garden it was growing.
My beloved sees nothing, not that at him it was smiling.
Lost has it been in in a little grass high.
My beloved will not find it, another will have it.
Little apple started running from a hillside by the river.
My beloved will not catch it, it will float away forever.

Thank you so much!

*spoiler* I was hoping that Kingdom Come 2 would take place with Henry as a noble, and continue to show his and Theresa's relationship, but alas it seems like the next one is 103 years later.

After the MQ, before you speak to Capon, did you go and take a last walk with Theresa? There is a nice little dialog with her. If you didn't, save before you speak to her so you can try the different options.

Besides, Henry becoming a noble would be highly unlikely. Read this only if you have completed the story: He is a bastard after all and it would be a matter for the King. If you look at Radzig's real story he did not have heirs. His wife sold his castle after his horrible death. Radzig himself was a minor noble.

Can we purchase the full song?

Jan Valta, the composer answered my question on youtube.
I thought, that his comment is interesting for you guys, too.

"The name of the song is "Jablíčko" ("Little Apple").


It's not a "real" folk song, but I tried to compose it as if it were - simple melody, no accompaniment, and yet it resembles the rest of the KC:D soundtrack.


As for the lyrics: I tried to describe the three burdens of Theresa (pardon my non-poetic translation).



There's a red apple
It matured in our garden
My beloved doesn't see
That it smiles on him

The apple was lost
In the tall grass
My beloved won't find it
Someone else will have it

The apple ran
From the hillside to the river
My beloved won't catch it
It will float away forever.

**SPOILER** (If you want the literal meaning: Theresa loves Henry but he doesn't know / Theresa's family will marry her with someone she doesn't want / Theresa will lose everything and doesn't want to live anymore.)"


Full Czech lyrics:

Červená se jablíčko
v zahrádce nám zrálo
můj milej nic nevidí
na něj že se smálo.

Ztratilo se jablíčko
v travičce vysokej
můj milej ho nenajde
bude ho mít jinej.

Rozběhlo se jablíčko
ze stráně u řeky
můj milej ho nechytí
uplave navěky.

[palestinets.1975]

Если интересно - вот стихотворный перевод на русский с сохранением размера:

Наливалось яблочко солнечным румянцем.
Милый мой не замечал, он в ответ смеялся.

Покатилось яблочко по траве в овражек.
Милый мой не побежал, он найдёт и краше.

Вдаль уносят яблочко ручейки да реки.
Меня милый не позвал… и уплыл навеки.
