Silesian Rhapsody

Is this a fiction?
Is this just history?
Another partition
To divide up what's left of me

Just take a look
And see everything they took
I'm just a floodplain
Between Russia and Germany
But is here they come, there they go
Mountains high, valleys low
Everywhere their tanks go
Gonna cut a path through me
Through me

Jadwiga, they split me up
Now the commonwealth is dead
And they've occupied my land
Jadwiga, our golden age is done
Our independence has come to an end

Jadwiga! Ooh!
Gonna fight for Bonaparte
If doing so means Poland's not yet lost!
March, March, March, March
Before they cut a path right through me

Oh, no, we lost the war
Gonna split me up again
When will this come to an end?
World War, everybody
It's time to go
Gonna take my leave while I still have a chance

Jadwiga! Oooooh!
I don't wanna die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

I see an Iron Cross lurking up behind
Molotov! Molotov!
Will you do the Ribbentrop?
Hammer and a Sickle
I am in a pickle now!
France and Britain
France and Britain
France and Britain
France and Britain
France and Britain help me, please!
A Phony War

I'm just a floodplain, why do you want me
(You're not a floodplain! Your land is arable!)
(You'd be a fine addition to the Fatherland!)
(You'd be a fine addition to the Motherland!)

Here they come, there they go
Will you let me go?

Dabrowski
No, we will not let you go!
(Let him go!)
Dabrowski
No, we will not let you go!
(Let him go!)
Dabrowski
No, we will not let you go!
(Let him go!)
No, we will not let you go!
(Let me go!)
No, we will not let you go!
Let me go!
Ooh!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Oh Queen Jadwiga, Oh Queen Jadwiga!
Oh Queen Jadwiga let me go!
Napoleon showed the way to victory for me
For me!
For me!

Rosja thinks he can split me and occupy!
Rosja thinks he can leave all my people to die!
Oh, Niemcy!
Can't do this to me, Niemcy!
I'm gonna be free!
I'm gonna be free wait and see!

Ooh
Oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah!

Cut a path right through me
Like they always do
Cut a path right through me
Cut a path right through me
Again

Everywhere their tanks go
