I’m confused. In the version I was taught, the words were “puki my zijemy”, with puki meaning as long as. Every version I see now says “kiedy my zijemy”. However, I thought that kiedy meant “when”, which doesn’t seem to fit. Does anyone have an answer?

Just for the record,

polish national anthem is not exactly Mazurek Dabrowskiego. It actually contains only of first two stanzas (zwrotkas in polish) and a refrain (refren).

sorry 4 my bad english though,

Hey scatts, I didn’t write the thing. But didn’t that midget have some sort of a winning streak early on in his career, or something?

DeeAnn,
I don’t know what to say. LOL! I was one in a Japanese karaoke bar where “Come All Ye Faithful” was one of the songs, so I guess that just goes to show you that you can never tell…

Lycia,
Baby Jesus bringing presents? And witches bringing presents? and dead people bringing presents? Darn, I want to be a child in Italy! I’m about 30 years too late, but who cares!!!

“We’ve been shown by Bonaparte, Ways to victory”

Eeek! That’s a bit embarrassing.

Hi Anna. It’s lycia. Here in Italy kids get presents on the 24th of December, from Santa Claus, but mainly from Bambino Jesù -Child Jesus.

Also, they get toys for the Befana, on the 6th of January. Which is also my birthday. La befana means = the witch …

Also the Italian kids get presents especially in sicily on 31st of October. They say that people you have died bring them presents.
Well, I have just realized that Italian kids, always get presents. lol
