Polish songs

"Jestem" is a song sung, written and composed by Magdalena Tul, who represented Poland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 in Düsseldorf, Germany. Magdalena won the national final (Krajowe Eliminacje 2011) with 44.47%, a record in past years, leaving the second place with nearly half of her percentage. An English version of the song titled "First Class Ticket to Heaven" was announced as the version to enter Eurovision, but this decision was reversed and the Polish version competed. Later, another English version was released under the title "Present".

"Windą do nieba" (English: "A Lift to Heaven") is a 1977 song by Polish band 2 Plus 1.

Janek Wiśniewski [ˈjanɛk viɕˈɲɛvski] is a fictional name given to a real person, Zbigniew Godlewski, shot dead by security forces during the Polish 1970 protests in the city of Gdynia. It has been popularized across the country in the poem Ballad of Janek Wiśniewski.

W Żłobie Leży ("In the Manger He Lies") is a traditional Polish Christmas carol. In 1920, the song was translated into English as "Infant Holy, Infant Lowly" by Edith Margaret Gellibrand Reed (1885-1933), a British musician and playwright. Reed found the carol in the hymnal Spiewniczek Piesni Koscieline (published 1908), though the song itself may date back as far as the thirteenth century. The Polish text could possibly be attributed to Piotr Skarga (1536-1612).

„Mizerna, cicha“ ("Miserable, Quiet") is a traditional Polish Christmas carol written by Teofil Lenartowicz in 1849. The original melody was composed by Jakub Wrzeciono in the 19th century, but nowadays the best-known version was composed by Jan Gall around the year 1900.

Ukochany kraj ("Beloved Country"; also known by its incipit, Wszystko tobie, ukochana ziemio; "Everything for You, Beloved Land") is a poem written by Polish poet Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński in 1953 and put to music as a song (in several versions) by Tadeusz Sygietyński [pl]. It was probably the most widespread propaganda song in Communist Poland. Together with other poets and composers, Gałczyński yielded under the pressure of authorities and wrote several things in the style of Socialist realism, including this "song for the masses" (Polish: "pieśń masowa"). Appealing to patriotism, the song calls for building a new Socialist Poland:

Whirlwinds of Danger (original Polish title: Warszawianka) is a Polish socialist revolutionary song written some time between 1879 and 1883. The Polish title, a deliberate reference to the earlier song by the same title, could be translated as either The Varsovian, The Song of Warsaw (as in the Leon Lishner version) or "the lady of Warsaw". To distinguish between the two, it is often called "Warszawianka 1905 roku" ("Warszawianka of 1905"), after the song became the anthem of worker protests during the Revolution in the Kingdom of Poland (1905–1907), when 30 workers were shot during the May Day demonstrations in Warsaw in 1905.

Tacy sami is a song by Polish band Lady Pank. Tacy sami was written by Jacek Skubikowski, and music was created by Jan Borysewicz.
