Exactly! Let's focus on what's bringing these two nations together--we love the same music, we think and act alike.

Thank you for clarifying the historical background of this song.Now it makes much more sense to me. As you said, the music style most likely was influenced by Ukrainian folk songs, for it sounds really Ukrainian to me.It's great though that this song is uniting two nations. Mutual understanding and respect is much better than hostilities and hatred i think.

To jnk777: The song was written in the 19th century, when NEITHER Poland NOR Ukraine existed as independent countries and both Poles and Ukrainians were suffering from foreign rulers. In the text you can't find any mention of a "polish knight", it just tells about the love of one's sweetheart and one's homeland (mala ojczyzna). Ukraine was a homeland for both Poles and Ukrainians. Sorry to say that, but your chauvinistic interpretation is outdated.

This is NOT a Ukrainian folk song. The lyrics were wtitten by a 19th Polish-Ukrainian poet Tymisz (Tymko) Padurra. Probably it was inspired by folk songs, which is typical for the 19th centtury romantic poetry. This song is not about politics 'cause when it was written neither Poland, nor Ukraine existed as independent countries. It is about love and nostalgia of one's homeland. Both Poles and Ukrainians adore this song:) |
