Not only “rut of silence at night”. Poles are masters at twisting the words of popular Christmas carols

Singing carols together is a Christmas tradition that has been cultivated in almost every Polish home for decades. However, it sometimes happens that the same song has several different versions, and a common reason for this is unintentional distortion of words. “Midnight silence” and “Turnip is clean” are just a few of the funniest ones that have been circulating on the Internet for years.

Christmas is fast approaching. Many people are looking forward to this joyful time to spend it in a nice, family atmosphere. One of the most beautiful and deeply rooted in culture traditions is singing together. This sets the right mood and gives unique magic to moments that you can remember for a long time.

Singing carols can be a challenge. The most popular songs are difficult to find

When singing carols, we most often choose songs that we have known and performed for years. Although their text does not change, there are often minor slips of the tongue that give them a completely new meaning. The Internet is full of Internet users’ stories about mistakes they made while singing or singing pastorals. Some of them are so irrational that they make you cry. So what mistakes happen most often? You’ll be surprised how many alternative versions one song can have.

How often do we twist the words of Christmas carols? These versions of popular pastorals will entertain you to tears

It is generally accepted that slips of the tongue while singing Christmas carols most often happen to children. This is due to the fact that traditional songs often contain difficult words that are not fully understandable to young children. They often learn them by ear, which may also affect the proper memorization of individual lines. However, adults also make mistakes and, interestingly, they are not even aware of some of them. The most popular versions on the Internet include: “The Silence of the Night” and “Let’s all go to the stable, to Jesus and the bathroom.” You can also often hear “Because she was poor, she took the pot off her head” or “God is born, a monster is drinking.”

In fact, there are as many different versions of one Christmas carol as there are people at the Christmas Eve table. Here is a list of the funniest mistakes Internet users make when singing commonly known and liked songs:

God is born, the night grows, the lord of heaven is offended

Whoever runs away lies in the grave

The clean turnip gave birth to a full crop

Mary Panda, Mary Panda holds the baby

They were waiting for you, princess of the night, and you were there this night.
