This is a collection of over 40 Polish songs, collected over a period of twenty-five years by members of the Polanie Club, a group of American women of Polish descent from Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, who are interested in sharing their Polish culture.The songs touch upon the joys, daily experiences and misfortunes of the Polish people. The songs are gay, romantic, sad, humorous, dramatic, and solemn. They are the words and music of the village folk, the soldier, the dreamer, and the poet. They speak the language of their hearts and the spirit of their nation. They contain an infinite variety of tunes and rhythms, all very familiar and dear to Poles scattered all over the world today. An additional feature of this book is the song sheet music and the use of the authentic Polish lyrics with beautiful original English translations.
