Varshavianka~Warszawianka~Варшавянка. INFO: Warszawianka is a Polish song that is believed to have been written in 1879. Wacław Święcicki wrote the song while serving a sentence in the Tenth Pavilion of the Warsaw Citadel for socialist activity. The song received its name during a May Day demonstration in 1905, when it became the hymn of the demonstrating workers. The composer of the music is unknown.
Its Russian version with altered lyrics, the Varshavianka, once experienced considerable popularity. It served as a name for 1953 film Hostile Whirlwinds. Gleb Krzhizhanovsky is usually reported as the author of the Russian version and the moment of writing the text is thought to be 1897, when Krzhizhanovsky was imprisoned.
The Spanish song To The Barricades is set to the same music. In East Germany, a German translation was created and used as a common piece of marching music by the Army. An English version with altered lyrics was created by Paul Robeson, but never achieved great popularity.

PLEASE NOTE:
Another song is.....Warszawianka 1831 roku, La Varsovienne (The Song of Warsaw 1831) written by Casimir François Delavigne, music by Karol Kurpiński. The song was written in support of the November Uprising of 1830-1831. The French poet Casimir Delavigne was fascinated and inspired by the news of the uprising making its way to Paris and wrote the words, which were translated into Polish by the historian, journalist, and poet Karol Sienkiewicz (great uncle of Henryk Sienkiewicz). The song is sometimes confused with the later (1905) Polish revolutionary song of the same name (Warszawianka 1905 roku), which had its music used for the 1936 Spanish Anarchist song "To the Barricades".

LYRICS IN THE RUSSIAN VERSION:

Вихри враждебные веют над нами,
Темные силы нас злобно гнетут.
В бой роковой мы вступили с врагами,
Нас еще судьбы безвестные ждут.

Но мы подымем гордо и смело
Знамя борьбы за рабочее дело,
Знамя великой борьбы всех народов
За лучший мир, за святую свободу.

На бой кровавый,
святой и правый
Марш, марш вперед,
рабочий народ.

Мрёт в наши дни с голодухи рабочий,
Станем ли, братья, мы дольше молчать?
Наших сподвижников юные очи
Может ли вид эшафота пугать?

В битве великой не сгинут бесследно
Павшие с честью во имя идей.
Их имена с нашей песней победной
Станут священны мильонам людей.

На бой кровавый,
святой и правый
Марш, марш вперед,
рабочий народ.

Нам ненавистны тиранов короны,
Цепи народа-страдальца мы чтим.
Кровью народной залитые троны
Кровью мы наших врагов обагрим!

Смерть беспощадная всем супостатам!
Всем паразитам трудящихся масс!
Мщенье и смерть всем царям-плутократам!
Близок победы торжественный час.

На бой кровавый,
святой и правый
Марш, марш вперед,
рабочий народ.
