wildrover 98 | 4431 23 Jan 2009 / #1Not so long ago , myself and a group of friends with Landrovers were preparing to leave Poland after spending a few day with the children of a state home near Lobez that we had delivered aid to....As we prepared to leave the children sang us a song to say goodbye , very moving it was , even for a heartless old git like me....I have whistled this tune to many Polish friends , and at last i think i have a name for the song....I am told its Maryla rodowich , but that sounds like a persons name , not a song name....anyways , anybody know where i can download the song , as it has special memories for me.....thanks....ps it would be even better if somebody can tell me the meaning of the words in the song....

Eurola 4 | 1898 23 Jan 2009 / #6It's a beautiful song. Wow. I'm impressed that kids are singing that!I don't know all the words, but here is another version - not sang by Maryla Rodowicz, but the pictures are pretty.It 's about a time which passed - yet we're are still the same inside.And here is Maryla herself singing it.OK, here is another - my favoriteIt's about separation of a married couple. There are two worlds..I'm here in Poland - you on the other side of the ocean and all I have is hope...and our children. I don't know if you'll ever comeback to me.
OP wildrover 98 | 4431 23 Jan 2009 / #7My usual tactic when visiting the kids home was to disapear in the night so the kids didn,t have to see us leaving , but on this occaision the staff had made us a goodbye English breakfast , so we just had to be there....After this a group of girls gathered to sing this song , and of course the younger children realised we were going back to England....first the children began to cry , then the staff , then our group started to cry too...it was a special moment....its nice to hear the song again...
Eurola 4 | 1898 23 Jan 2009 / #8Yeah, all just memories and even more for me. I love all her songs. The words, the music..the 'funky' ways she used to dress for shows..even in commie times. She is a classic! I went to couple of her shows here in Chicago and once in NY. Some people cried when listening to her songs.I'm not sure if she has anything new nowadays, but I occasionally pop an old CD in and listen... I think, if she was born and sang in todays world, she could be world famous.
OP wildrover 98 | 4431 23 Jan 2009 / #9I'm not sure if she has anything new nowadays,So what year was she arround then , and was she the writer of this song , or is it even older...???
Eurola 4 | 1898 23 Jan 2009 / #10The words to most of her songs were written by Agnieszka Osiecka (died a few years ago) and Maryla was the star of the late 60's, 70's and 80's...I don't know much about 90's and now.She really got famous with this one:And EVERYBODY knows this song.
