My great-grandmother used to sing this song to my grandfather when he was small. He’s now 97 and only remembers the end. The linked clip is him singing it to the best of his memory.

If it helps, my great-grandma was from Mielec and emigrated in 1922. Allegedly someone once told my grandpa that the melody was about 100 years old, and his mother would have learned it during World War I. It probably has many different lyric variations over the years.

Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

  1. would be helpful if said something more about the song.

    “an old song” doesn’t exactly narrow it down much

  3. It is “polish” but its not sang by polish man accent is soo different even tho its old voice
    I dont think its even song
    (Im polish) even if it is its too short to identify bc of no music sound or anything

    Proszę Pani nie byszka

    Its properly written you can try matching it in google or somethong but i dont know what “byszka” is
