hahahaha Not quite. Those were bandits, while Warsaw insurgents were delicate poets.
Krzysztof kamil Baczyński, killed in the Rising.

Lao Che - Powstanie Warszawskie
Oi! Oi! Oi!
...Wir haben in diesem Lande einen Punkt,
von dem allen Unheil ausgent: es ist Warschau..

Wolność ja kocham i rozumiem,
wolności to ja oddać nie umiem.
A kajdany mi dzwonią, gdy cień Gapy nad głową,
Czas, by powstać i rachunki wyrownać krzywd,
Nazistowskiego wy ducha wypierdy,
"Mamidła z wasikiem" marionetki,
Nie wyjdzie stąd żywa psia-jucha parszywa
... kurwa Wasza Faszystowska Mać.
Pełznie ukradkiem Oporność 3-osobowa:
Ja, Pędzel i Farba Biała - morowa to załoga,
Do mnie należą tego miasta mury,
Kotwica wydrapie Buntu pazury.
Achtung! Aufruf! Polen und Polinnen!
Pierdu, pierdu, bla, bla, ble, pierdu, pierdu
Her Fisher, pan pozwoli,
że powiem gdzie mnie boli:
"Zarządzenie pańskie" to mam w dupie ja,
To miasto, Ten Kraj opornym jest,
Podziemie jego więzione- zawsze wolnym jest,
Najwyższa to pora, by zdechł Hackenkreutz - Maciora
więc jej blade kurduple spieprzać, poszli won!
1.Godzina "W"
Tramwajem jadę na Wojnę, tramwajem z przedziałem: nur fur Deutsche,
==========
Czy to była kula synku, czy to serce pękło?'
I am going to the war, on a tram with 'nur fur Deutsche' platform
==========
Was it a bullet, sonny, or was it your hear that broke out?
2. Stare Miasto
Witamy w krainie, W której Fryco ginie.
Wilczur się oźlił i piekło podpala!!!
==========
We welcome you to the land we relish, where the Krauts perish
The werewolf's gone mad and puts the hell on fire!!!
==========
...Kolejny dzień jak palę ogniem, wilczura pysk.
Kolejny świński blondyn z trupią główką polazł ziemię gryźć,
ziemię gryźć,
ziemię gryźć!
Gar gówna tym gównoryjom i prztyczek w nos,
Rykoszet rozpieprzył mi zbożówki termos,
palę papieros papieros papieros papieros papieros papieros.
barykado nasza Polsko Mała!
Idź Pod Prąd!
Na barykadzie, na Rejtana, jeden drugi będzie w portki rźnąć,
w portki rżnąć,
w portki rżnąć!
Żaden to wstyd, wszak wszyscyśmy tutaj wiarą dusz.
Jęczmień w oku, lać się chce!
Dziś ogolić gęby, dziś ogolić gęby, dzieś ogolić gęby... Nie dam rady już.
3. Przebicie do Śródmieścia
Gdzie jesteście? Ja, Wilczur wołam, Gdzie jesteście?
Where are you? I, the werewolf, yell, where are you?
4.Czerniaków
Gapie sołdaty wołają mnie 'polski bandyta'
========
Chociaż lewi jesteście na prawym rzeki brzegu kucnęliście
Druzia..... skurwysyny, nie przyszliście.
German soldiers call me 'Polish bandit'
And you, the lefties on the right bank of the river you squat
Friends..... son of the bitches, you've stayed like that
Kanały / Canals
Tu się opornym urodziłem
Here I was born - relentless
5. Koniec
Powiedz wdzięczna kobzo moja,
u mnie lico - duma twoja,
Cóż może być piękniejszego,
Nad człowieka rycerskiego.
My face is your honor,
Tell me my piper if you can
what's more beautiful
over a knightly man
I now have understood. You are The Last of the Mohicans yourself. You try to fight the romanticism in you. You would be the first on the barricade (were you Warsawian, not a peace loving 'centuś' as yo say ;D ;D ;D
You remind me my.... grandpa
Your patriotism is great and moving. I mean it. But you have the idealised vision of the Warsaw Uprsing. There were poets, scientists, intelligentsia fighting. That is true. But they were not the only one or not even the main group. The main group consisted of the so called 'ordinary people'. The 'cwaniaczki warszwskie' were fighting the hardest. NOT the poets. Baczynski died shot by a bullet while leaning out of teh window during German attack. Poets wouldn't last 63 days of werewolf gone mad.....
You are wrong when you say they knew they will die. They were sure they will win and they will welcome the Russians armed. They were betrayed.
But they were not 'desperados', on the opposite the were hungry for normal life. Note that if AK soldier was 22 he lived in normal country
until he was 17 only. He only faintly remembered it and longed for it. That is what my Grandpa says - go to Lazienki with a girl, kiss. No Lazienki for Poles.
They are not responsible for Warszawa destruction. NOW, TODAY we know what Germans did AFTER the uprising. A F T E R the uprising they leveled the city out of revenge. They did not know it, not even Bor-Komorowski. A great man whom I respect. Even with his mistakes.
What they didn't know is their death unexpectingly served Poland another way. The myth of Warsaw Uprising helped rebuild the patriotism after the shock of WWII - German and Russian attack, the total betrayal by the allies. And the memory of uprising kept the Soviet Union tanks away. Not so in Prague...
I am grateful to those who fought in the Uprising, I really am, Pawian. And what they did serves well Polish youth even today and is respected.
You must have heard about Lao Che group? These are guys my age and not from Warszawa at all. They have distance, they are ironic but they respect the insurgents and the uprising. And just think
how much they had to read to produce the lyrics of such quality. In most instances I had to ask my parents and grandparents for explanations of the allusions. But Pawian, you CARE so much. You moved me, do you know? ;D ;D ;D
