A Ballad about Cavalry Captain Pilecki

Cavalry Captain Pilecki
Where do these bloody wounds come from?
Who broke your sabre?
Why is your horse tethered?

Hey, Hey, Cavalry Captain!
Where do these bloody wounds come from?
Who broke your sabre?
Why is your horse tethered ?

Cavalry Captain Pilecki
As strong you are as steel
Hitler didn't crush you
Stalin feared you

Hey, Hey, Cavalry Captain!
From hardened steel
Hitler didn't crush you
Stalin feared you

Cavalry Captain Pilecki
You played with death
You descended to hell
You broke free from hell

Hey, Hey, Cavalry Captain
Death didn't defeat you
You descended to Auschwitz
You broke free from Auschwitz

You were thousands
Now remained a few
Because Moscow kills
Our Heroes...

Hey, Hey, Cavalry Captain!
You were so numerous
But Moscow kills
Our heroes...

Witold Pilecki
Your wife is crying
Secret agents are glad -
Red hired assassins...

Hey, Hey, Cavalry Captain!
Your wife is crying
Bandits of the red star
Are laughing...

Longed-for Father
Your children in mourning
Would like to place
A candle on your grave...

Hey, Hey, Cavalry Captain!
Your children in mourning
Will never light
A candle on your grave

Invincible soldier
Scars are your award
Your lodestar
God, honour, homeland...

Hey, Hey, Cavalry Captain!
Scars are your award
Your lodestar always
God, honour, homeland...

Knight without flaw
The butchers fear constantly
So many years after the murder
Destroy the memory of you

Hey, Hey, Cavalry Captain!
They constantly lie here...
So many years after the murder
Destroy the memory of you...

Farewell to you, Cavalry Captain,
Rest in Heaven...
They buried your body,
They won't bury the song...

Hey, Hey, Cavalry Captain!
Rest in Heaven...
They buried your body,
They won't bury the song...

Today in the angels' choir
You sing with lancers
Your Spirit flew
The song remained with us....

Hey, Hey, Cavalry Captain
Sing with lancers...
Your spirit flew,
The song remained with us...

Cavalry Captain Pilecki!
Stand to the calling of the roll of honour!
They took away you of life,
But fame remained!

Hey, Hey, Cavalry Captain!
Stand to the calling of the roll of honour!
They took away your life,
They left the fame!
