Tadeusz Faliszewski - Kochaj mnie, a będę twoją (Henryk Wars /Andrzej Włast) Tango z rewii "Uśmiech Warszawy" teatru "Morskie Oko" (Tango from revue "The Smile Of Warsaw" from the theatre "Morskie Oko") , Syrena-Electro 1930
NOTE: After a genial duo: Artur Gold & Włast (see my previous uploading) now here is another legendary Polish couple of tango-makers: composer Henryk Wars and Andrzej Włast (author, who probably wrote one song a day). To read more about Henryk Wars go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K05uPQFfxEQ and Andrzej Włast's tragic fate is described at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtyYBgmIyBk
This is one of the best tangos composed by Henryk Wars. It is "dark" and truly erotic, and therefore it was originally sung in "Morskie Oko" theatre by Stanisława Nowicka - in prewar Poland the "dark" tangoes singer, specializing in the apache songs and Marlene Dietrich's repertoire. The text says about a street girl who - brought in by the sailors - meets a group of stokers in a stokehole of a liner. With much talent the dusky and erotic atmosphere of that hot, sweaty place is described by Andrzej Włast. Unfortunately, in my collection of the pictures I did not find any showing the prewar stokeholes or streetgirls paying there a visit to a group of sailors and stokers... - a situation - even in the "crazy Twenties" not frequent enough, as it seems, to justify the production of posters displaying it ...
Nevertheless, in Warsaw in 1930 the song immediately became a hit and is sung by the popular Polish artists even today (see in You Tube the Violetta Villas & Kazik's version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0q2Xq_QLKzI
I also recommend the rare and really outstanding, privately recorded and post mortem published in YT, Stanisław Staszewski's solo by the guitar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Feo5ysCRKcc
I listened to the other versions and one or two more on YT, but nothing measures up to this beautiful authentic version, with its period style of singing and orchestration. And even without stokers pictures, the illustrations radiate enough erotic heat, G. Watch out for the YT police!

D., I have to admit that - considering my sad experience - I had a little thrill while uploading again all these hard porn photoes of our grand-grandmas... But, well, the erotic spell they cast on the watcher was too strong, though, and I surrendered... Now, in fear, I'm waiting for 6 o'clock a.m. police's banging at my door

My Darling Grzegorz,
This is the most dramatic and erotic tango. The plaintive lyrics for survival tear at the soul. Wars and Wlast were Geniuses.
I love your video, it is yet another Masterpiece, You should be in Hollywood producing films. Your video is sheer PERFECTION and is Magnificent! Dziekuje for this Morske Oko gem, you have created a visual and audio work of ART. I am in Paradise.

Genia, I am glad you duly appreciate these fantastic full-text tango recordings that Tadeusz Faliszewski made before 1930. Then - after many critical comments about his "graphomanic interpretations" as they called them - he changed his style and his later recordings lack that emphatic exaltation we love today so much
