Polish Song ?

10 sty 2014, 14:01

Hello Forum.

I have a book which appears to have song Lyrics.
Can anyone tell me what it says.
I hope that there is nothing bad contained in the text
I have posted it to my page in Panaramio.

Hi I'm not familiar with the lyrics but it could be just the poem Anna

Hi Martin,
this might be a poem written by a young soldier for his girlfriend, Andzia [it is a pet name of Anna].

Please look at the following Polish version and English translation.

Andziu
Andziu, moja Andziu
Już mnie więcej nie ujrzysz
Bo mój ojciec listy pisał
Czy powrócisz bom ...
Duże miasta żem przechodził
Ładne dziewcze żem bawił
Lecz za żadną tak nie tęsknił
Jak za Tobą Andziu
Andziu, moja Andziu
Nie narzekaj sama się
Chociaż jestem młody żołnierz
Ale zginę za Cię


Anna
Anna, my Anna,
You will not see me anymore
Because my father used to write letters.
Will you come back because I ...
I walked through big cities,
I played with beautiful girls.
But I have never missed them so much
as I miss You, Anna.
Anna, my Anna,
Do not complain yourself.
Even though I am a young soldier
I will die for you.


Pozdrawiam,
Monika

Thank You Monika.

This is from a book which my Father bought with him to England just after the war.
There are many other pages which I thought were all songs.

All the Polish speakers are gone from my family.
How strange that we named our daughter Anna,

Thank you

I have added another page from the book.

I never discussed the contents with my Father ( sadly dead )
I don't know where he found the material.

Is this more poetry ?

Martin,
Gdzie jest ta ulica - first four lines are the refrain of the Polish song Szła dzieweczka do laseczka. But other lines are not.
Hej kto Polak na bagnety - this is song Warszawianka 1831

Pozdrawiam,
Monika

Warszawianka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Warszawianka may refer to:
Warszawianka (1831), Polish patriotic song originally written in French as La Varsovienne in 1831
Warszawianka (1905), Polish revolutionary song originally written in Polish in 1879, popularized in Poland in 1905 and later in other countries


Monika I have just listened to the song . And it is very impressive

But what is the difference between the 1831 and 1905 versions.

Or is this the one.. I have heard this sung many times at family gatherings..

Martin,
in your book there are words of Warszawianka 1831: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8_ob0n-ZwI
and you do not have words of Warszawianka 1905: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD7sPhCdJYQ

You have also: "Gdzie jest ta ulica, gdzie jest ten dom" - it is the refrain of Szła dzieweczka do laseczka, it starts at 0:30: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohUQlS7pNvw

Pozdrawiam,
Monika

Monika..

Thank you for your help.
And
Good news I have 50 more songs in this book.!!

Martin.

In my history I believe my family were involved in the 1830 uprising.
