"Jak to na wojence ładnie" Is a Polish
song from the January Uprising (2nd January 1863 - 18th June 1864), a collaborative effort of Poles, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Ruthenians, Belarussians and Latvians to regain freedom from the Russian Empire and reunite the lands of the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth, supported by Italian, British, French and Hungarian volunteers
and with logistical support from Britain, France and Austria-Hungary. The uprisings unfortunately failed but served as an inspiration for mass Polish patriotism.
Lyrics:
Jak to na wojence ładnie
Jak to na wojence ładnie
Kiedy ułan z konia spadnie
Kiedy ułan z konia spadnie
Koledzy go nie żałują
Koledzy go nie żałują
Jeszcze końmi potratują
Jeszcze końmi potratują
A za jego młode lata
A za jego młode lata
Trąbka zagra tra ta ta ta
Trąbka zagra tra ta ta ta
Śpij kolego w ciemnym grobie
Śpij kolego w ciemnym grobie
Niech się Polska przyśni tobie
Niech się Polska przyśni tobie
English:
It's beautiful during a war
It's beautiful during a war
When an Uhlan falls off his horse
When an Uhlan falls off his horse
His friends don't feel sorry for him
His friends don't feel sorry for him
They will still trample horses
They will still trample horses
And for his young years
And for his young years
The bugle will play tra ta ta ta
The bugle will play tra ta ta ta
Sleep my friend in a dark grave
Sleep my friend in a dark grave
Let you dream of Poland
Let you dream of Poland
(Hit hard don't they?)
