Te entiendo y comparto tu dolor y el recuerdo que está maravillosa canción te trae, aunque ahora sea triste, en su día fue alegría y eso es lo importante
Mensi's poetry is a great talent so underrated the bloke invented folk punk legend love the upstarts remember the day I bought 2 million voices respect. X.
that's a pity for this beautiful song that valesa and solidarity union had finally betrayed the working class. but is a nice song... poles find your way....
Solidarnosz era ena mierda pinchada en palo católico de Polonia profunda (es un chiste, esa Polonia vuestra nunca tuvo frontera, solo ganas de joder a los rusos, alemanes y checos). En plena huelga minera en Inglaterra 1984 el "sindicato" polaco envío una delegación para negociar con e p... gobierno de la Thatcher envío de carbón desde Polonia a Inglaterra en huelga. Al final recularor, pero os imagináis el impacto mediático entre la clase obrera? Entre los mineros en huelga? Que unos supuestos "héroes" y "campeónes" de la lucha "sindical" vayan contra sus propios camaradas? Y si no creéis eso, acordados de Polonia en los años noventa...........
I know there's def been hard times thru time and time again, but I feel this tune is more necessary for now (2022) than ever!!! Especially for those fighting and dying in UKRAINE everyday!!! Thems need it most!!!!
What you see in Poland today is the legacy of Solidarnosc: women's and LGBT rights being hammered by clerical nationalism that began with Walesa. This is Poland's "reawakening"
@@BolshevikCarpetbagger1917 I'm on it. Will be reading around the subject tonight. I always had this utopian view of Solidarity. Pushing against the Soviet system. But there seems to be an evil underside to that was hidden to history. Thank you for the enlightenment.
So powerful, too feared, that it made its way through mouth to mouth in times where no social networks existed. If that song, on that events happened to be, nothing would have stopped it from flaming the world.
obvious your a southern neo nazi cos believe me when i say you havent a clue it seems about anything . just a a bigoted person who says his england .its the germans mate our royal family are german. windsor is a fictious name they only changed it in WW1 as we where losing a lot of brave men like my fucking grandfather who died at passendale you tosser.you probably read that rag called the sun or the sport and u believe it all true .
i first saw the Upstarts live age 14 in Aug 1979 London Lyceum Supporting Adam & the Ants seen them loads over the years this is one of my faves by them & they are still Working Class / Anti Facist - Nazi / Socialists a true Punk band Mensi is a Legend.

Una canción preciosa. Un cantante que nos dejó un mensaje de esperanza para que no abandonemos los sueños de que algún día el barco será dirigido por los buenos.
I am surprised to find this as a video. Being an old song. I always imaged the setting for this song be a group of workers, gather around a fire. After work. Sharing beers. Fire emanating from paint tins with holes
Lyrics (version 2 -Polish workers): As the polish workers fight to make their stand And behind them every honest working men In unity there's each other and your friend becomes your brother And in the tyrant's heart will be a lesson learnt Give them hope Give them strength Give them life Like a candle burning in the black of night We are with you in our hearts and in our minds And we'll pray for a nation through it's darkest times I know that your hearts are made of a firmer kind And a riot stick won't kill your peace of mind You can fight with all the spirit that you possess Because your fight is a struggle that is blessed Give them hope Give them strength Give them life Like a candle burning in the black of night We are with you in our hearts and in our minds And we'll pray for a nation through it's darkest times The tyrant has no smile upon his face Cos he knows that in his minds he's in disgrace The religion of union will take his breath away Our turn will come and we will have our day Give them hope Give them strength Give them life Like a candle burning in the black of night We are with you in our hearts and in our minds And we'll pray for a nation through it's darkest times As the polish workers fight to make their stand And behind them every honest working men Join hands with your brother And then you can help each other Watch the tyrants burn in the fire that they have built Give them hope Give them strength Give them life Like a candle burning in the black of night We are with you in our hearts and in our minds And we'll pray for a nation through it's darkest times
Angelic Upstarts . . . respect. Being a cockney, not a great fan of the North East but when it comes to politics, geography takes second place to socialism.
All of us have equal rights as people as human.We don't need to be left right or whatever.We don't need to follow any ideology.Just be friendly to each other.
Rest in Power! A true working class hero and a huge inspiration for many generations.
Solidarity forever - Long live the working class
Shed a few tears this morning. Mensi was one of the voices of my generation. Rest in power Mensi your music will never be forgotten

Thanks for fighting for those that needed someone to stand up for them.....
RIP Mensi. Probably my favorite band. He helped make my journey toward being an Angelic Upstart possible.
That‘s so fucking sad. One of the first punk-bands I ever heard. He and his songs had so much influence on me….R.I.P.

The title says it all. Bring back dissent. Bring back hope. Bring back solidarity. Wish it could start in Poland again and spread across globe.

Kiedy polscy pracownicy walczą o swoje prawa
a za nimi każdy uczciwy, pracujący człowiek
W jedności jest wzajemność, a twój znajomy staje się twoim bratem
a serce tyrana ma swoją lekcje
Daj im nadzieję, daj im siłę, daj im życie
Jak świeca płonąca w ciemności nocy
Wszyscy jesteśmy z wami naszymi sercami i umysłami
I będziemy się modlić o nasz naród w jego najciemniejszych czasach
Tyran nie ma uśmiechu na twarzy
ponieważ wie, że wśród ludzi jest skompromitowany
odpuszczenie tobie odbierze mu oddech
dopóki nie nadejdziemy i nie będziemy mieć swojego dnia
Daj im nadzieję, daj im siłę, daj im życie
Jak świeca płonąca w ciemności nocy
Wszyscy jesteśmy z wami naszymi sercami i umysłami
I będziemy się modlić o nasz naród w jego najciemniejszych czasach
Kiedy polscy pracownicy walczą o swoje prawa
a za nimi każdy uczciwy, pracujący człowiek
Podaj rękę swoim braciom by pomóc sobie wzajemnie
patrz jak tyranie płoną w ogniu, który stworzyli
thanks Angelic Upstarts and Mensi from working class Poland. UNITED we will win! RIP

Lyrics (version 2 -Polish workers):
As the polish workers fight to make their stand
And behind them every honest working men
In unity there's each other and your friend becomes your brother
And in the tyrant's heart will be a lesson learnt
Give them hope
Give them strength
Give them life
Like a candle burning in the black of night
We are with you in our hearts and in our minds
And we'll pray for a nation through it's darkest times
I know that your hearts are made of a firmer kind
And a riot stick won't kill your peace of mind
You can fight with all the spirit that you possess
Because your fight is a struggle that is blessed
Give them hope
Give them strength
Give them life
Like a candle burning in the black of night
We are with you in our hearts and in our minds
And we'll pray for a nation through it's darkest times
The tyrant has no smile upon his face
Cos he knows that in his minds he's in disgrace
The religion of union will take his breath away
Our turn will come and we will have our day
Give them hope
Give them strength
Give them life
Like a candle burning in the black of night
We are with you in our hearts and in our minds
And we'll pray for a nation through it's darkest times
As the polish workers fight to make their stand
And behind them every honest working men
Join hands with your brother
And then you can help each other
Watch the tyrants burn in the fire that they have built
Give them hope
Give them strength
Give them life
Like a candle burning in the black of night
We are with you in our hearts and in our minds
And we'll pray for a nation through it's darkest times
Like a Candle burning in the black of light!!!!!!!!!!
