Polish foxtrot "Piękne Rumunki" - Janusz Popławski, tenor a. Henryk Gold Orchestra

"Piękne Rumunki" - Beautiful Romanian Women.
Foxtrot composed in 1933 by Zygmunt Białostocki to the lyrics by Andrzej Włast.
Recorded for Polish Columbia by Henryk Gold Orchestra with a chorus sung by Janusz Popławski, tenor.
In the video are presented some photos of Romania scenes published in the Polish pre-war press, photos of Romanias Misses, early 1930's and a photo taken during a visit of the Romanian Prince Nicolaus to Warsaw, August 1931, who was met and received by the Marshal Józef Piłsudski.
.....................................

The legend of Józef Piłsudski - the "Commandant", later known as "Grandfather" - is practically still alive up to this day in Poland and still meets with criticism from the opponents of the cult of the Marshal.

Life is short and sweet! And more than likely, the people in this extraordinary video have expired . It would be such a great accomplishment if the entire human race could finally get along in this vast world we ALL share and live in . After all, we're  only here but for alittle while and poof! Its all over. The beauty and the intrigue that blends in so magically in life, is forever extingquished in death. Thank you for sharing this interesting video of "Once Upon A Time ".

Wonderful melody and great pictures from Central and Eastern Europe before the destruction between 1939-89. Indeed Prince Nicholas of Rumania and Marshal Pilsudske were some of the greatest European personalities of this time.

Amazing romantic tunes,indeed...I know Poland and Romania were neighbours for long time...did they ever have any conflict ?

[WilczynWarszyc]
