Hi, It is surely ok to have them view it. It is the Polish National Anthem picked by the Soladarnosc/Solidarity movement. The real anthem is Poland is not yet lost Here are the words in Polish and English: Z glebi dziejow, z krain mrocznych Z puszcz odwiecznych, pol i stepow Nasz rodowod, nasz poczatek, Hen, od Piasta, Kraka, Lecha. From the depths of history, from murky lands, From eternal forests, fields, and steppes. Our people, our beginning, From Piast, Krak, and Lech. Dlugi lancuch ludzich istnien Polaczonych mysla prosta: [Zeby Polska, zeby Polska, Zeby Polska byla Polska.] bis A long chain of human beings United by a simple thought: That Poland, that Poland, That Poland be Poland. Wtedy, kiedy los nieznany Rozsypywyal nas po katach, Kiedy obce wiatry gnaly Obce orly na proporcach. When an unknown fate Scattered us to the corners of the earth. When foreign winds chased Foreign eagles on banners. Przy ogniskach wybuchala Niezmozona nuta swojska: [Zeby Polska, zeby Polska, Zeby Polska byla Polska.] bis At the hearth there would burst out an overwhelming and familiar note: That Poland, that Poland, That Poland be Poland. Zrzucal uczen portret cara, Ksiadz Sciegienny wznosil modly, Opatrywal woz Drzymala Dumne wiersze pisal Norwid. A pupil threw down a portrait of the czar, Father Sciegienny offered his prayers Drzymala fixed up his wagon, Norwid wrote proud verses. I kto szable mogl utrzymac Ten formowal legion wojska, [Zeby Polska, zeby Polska, Zeby Polska byla Polska.] bis And whoever could hold a sword would organize army legions That Poland, that Poland That Poland be Poland. Matki, zony, w mrocznych izbach Wyszywaly na sztandarach Haslo: "Honor i Ojczyzna", I ruszala w pole wiara. Mothers, wives, in dark huts Would sew on banners The slogan: `Honor and the Fatherland' And faith would set forth into the field (of battle) I ruszala wiara w pole Od Chicago do Tobolska. [Zeby Polska, zeby Polska, Zeby Polska byla Polska.] bis And faith would set forth into the field From Chicago to Tobolsk That Poland, that Poland That Poland be Poland.
