Doctor.

Congratulations for the wonderful videos!

This in particular .... I remember my father, who was Polish, and survived the death camps, listened with nostalgia of childhood, of simple but happy life!

Kisses and thank you!

Piękne. Mam tę samą płytę, tylko z fioletową naklejką. Niestety pękniętą.

Thank you for the translation.

Lovely tune. Pity I do not understand the lyric. Warsaw must have been a beautiful romantic city, pre-war.The pics are great.

Thanks for the informationin your notes, and thanks for sharing.

P.S.

Would the English word "legend" - or "legendary" be an appropriate equation to the Polish word "basn"? Apologies for the missing accent marks.

Like a dream, like a myth, our love has ended for ever. The most tearful (=lovely) your glances will not move me anymore. And nothing can help this; the warmest, bloodiest tears, tears and sighs are insignificant to me now, as the beautiful dream is over.

[brzemie]

Fortunately there are people like you and Y.T. Thanks.

Thanks for the correction! I know they are not accent marks but couldn't recall the word "diacritical." English is such a different kettle of fish; it often takes two letters to indicate a sound--e.g. s and h or p and h...

A dreamy tango, beautiful orchestration and the gleaming voice of Witas. All this while we enjoy the view of the glamorous streets of pre-war Warsaw.

Hello 240252, Andrzej Wlast wrote some awesome lyrics - Lewandowski's music is also flawless. It strikes the cord of all of us who were in love. Love can hurt - but -of course - it can be divine - as well.

Grzegorz, I love this "LOVE" song and once again it relates so perfectly to the video of Elegant Warszawa....like a dream...like a fairytale so appropo are the lyrics for both romantic LOVE and Warszawa. Witas is wonderful and the orchestration is dramatic and divine! Dzienkuje for those photos. I am so sad :-( that that beauty was lost. Oh, and thanks for the new vocabulary word (baśń), I learn so much from your posts. :-)

Jak sen (and) jak basn nasza milosc! Excuse my lack of accent marks. Lovely, mellow tango with your usual great pix of old Polonia.
