Language / Help with song recognition about slonce [5]

Yes I was a young child and she would sometimes sit with me and sing the song and tell me of being in a place that was dark and musty and she would tell me that she would look up at a small window that was too high to look out but she could see the sun coming up and the sun setting. I felt she was telling me she was a political prisoner. Later I thought she may have been talking about the ship. She was a young girl when she came to America with her sister. 16 yrs old I believe. I was young and where she was exactly was not clear to me and I didn't think to ask for clarification. I just figured she was a political prisoner in Poland. I believe they immigrated during the time that Russia and Germany totally took over Poland.

There have been signs of Russian influence in some parts of hers and my great grandfathers lives that we picked up on later. Words such as sobaka for dog or byuro for dresser.

Thank you. No that second one is a song that I recognize in English. Sunrise, Sunset. I appreciate your helps so very much though. It makes my heart happy to be able to listen to the song even though it is crackly. The song is the same as my heart remembers. I am hopeful I will find the lyrics in both Polish and in English so that I can teach the song to the young ones in the family.

Yes I read your words and it seems to be closer to my phonetic recall. I will listen and let you know. Thank you for your help.

Thank you so very much. Amazing help. I am filled with excitement to hear this song for the first time since my Great Grandmother left us.

I would like to find the lyrics to this song in both Polish and English. Does anyone know where I could find that information? I would also like to hear other videos/audio of this same song please. Dziękuję.
