Language / Jestem za [11]
"Jestem za" is used often, even colloquially:
- Idziemy na piwo?
- Jestem za!
There's certainly a philosophical depth to it that eludes logical explanation ;)

Jestem za, a nawet przeciw! I hope you can figure out what he meant (many, me included, could not!).

When you say "luz blues" you mean that generally everything is fine (sth like A-OK maybe?), so usually it's nearly an exact opposite of English "to have the blues". In this case, this "potem" part is somewhat strange (never heard this exact phrase in my life), but I guess it boils down to the same thing as "luz blues".

Language / "There will always be a Poland" in Polish [9]
The "a" part is curious here. Can't help but think that would translate to "Zawsze będzie JAKAŚ Polska".

Language / I would like to make a collection of beautiful and/or funny polish quotes [30]
I don't think so. "Breed" is more like "raise" or "bring up" in this case, am I correct? And "dzieci robić" has this funny sex-act connotation. Perhaps "how to make babies" would be better. Yup, "don't teach a father how to make babies" would be perfect.
Alternatively, "[...]how to do babies" (I'm so sorry for that, katarina, but I just couldn't help it :)))
Wouldn't the best translation be "Don't teach the father how do breed children"?

How to make children, actually.... Your version is just, errm, wrong. Wrong, I tell you... ;)
Nie ucz ojca dzieci robić.
Don't teach the father how to do the children :P

Love / Looking for a Polish love song [78]

My propositions would be:
"Wielka miłość" by Seweryn Krajewski (youtube.com/watch?v=G7wDTGA4jiM) - it became a standard wedding song in Poland, newlyweds often dance their first dance to it.
"Zawsze tam gdzie ty" by Lady Pank (youtube.com/watch?v=0hw78Vk25eE) - an absolute classic,but - in my opinion- it doesn't "wear out". Plus, I don't know about your singing skills, but it should be easier than "Wielka miłość" :)
"Prócz ciebie nic" by Krzysztof Kiljański (youtube.com/watch?v=cdtp1B_1-Gg) - it's relatively new, but really romantic and I guess it would be the most original choice of them all.
Hope I could help!
