Here’s a song I wrote and performed in Polish with Late Middle Polish orthography - there is very little distinction between Modern Polish and Late Middle Polish, so any Poles out there likely won’t hear the difference. This time it’s about the glorious King Jan Sobieski and his famed Winged Hussars at the Battle of Vienna. The Holy Roman Empire was under siege at Vienna by the Ottoman Turks, who were close to taking the city until the warriors of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (among others) came to the rescue by storming down Kahlenberg mountain on horseback in their renowned winged armour, lances at the ready. My wife is Polish, so this is in some way dedicated to the legacy of her ancestors. I have spent quite some time living in Poland, learning the language and getting to know the wonderful people. As such, I wanted to show my appreciation to them and my respect for Poland in some way, and this seemed like a nice way to do it. I hope you enjoy! Please do leave a comment (I love reading them!) and subscribe if you’d like to see more. If you want to support me, you could also leave a donation at www.buymeacoffee.com/theskaldicbard. Many thanks! My intention is exclusively to teach history and languages through song. I do not condone, endorse or seek to glorify violence.
On september 12 , 1683 , The Holy League Coalition of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Holy Roman Empire under glorious king Jan lll Sobieski, Prince Charles V , Duke of Lorraine, Prince Eugene of Savoy and Prince Serban Cantacuzino of Wallachia, defeated the ottomans and their allies under Grand Vizier Merzinfonlu Kara Mustafa Pasha on Kahlenberg hill near Vienna, marking the beggining of the decline of the Ottoman Empire, know as "Oriental Crisis" (1683-1922) . GOTT MIT UNS ! ✝️
As François Dalerac, the French courtier of Polish King Jan III Sobieski, wrote in 1699, “The hussars never halt, they ride their horses at full speed, breaking through everything that’s in front of them.”
He said this after last battle of podhajce in holy league crusade 1684-99, Pope innocent 11 formed a holy league of christians to conquer muslim conquered lands. It had many battles like battle of slankamen, mohac 1687, zenta, batocina and last one was battle of podhajce 1698 Jan died 3 years before this and hussars fought in it too
As a Pole I expected middle polish and modern polish to be like middle english and modern english (Barely recognizable) but I understand everything, just like you said. Great work, although the rhythm of how you speak is somewhat off but I understand its for the song since polish words can be quite lengthy, still love it. God bless
Thanks a lot! Yeah, it's a bit difficult to get a melody that harmonises perfectly with Polish intonation, but Middle Polish also has those slightly elongated vowels on random letters at times which makes the penultimate-syllable stress a little more difficult too. But thanks!
English’s development is not wholly original, it is a pidgin that resulted from a stalemate for dominance between Olde Anglish and Norman French that then struggled for 450 years to find a grammatical equilibrium and commonly applicable rules. It was making progress, when the printing press came along and slowed that progress WAY down, and has been effectively frozen since sound recordings became common place.
@@VileFemboy Well, first of all it's late 17th Century Polish, and second of all, every single word in the song has been cross referenced with dated text corpora from the time of the Battle of Vienna, so what exactly are you basing that assertion on? Polish is a language that has resisted outside influence remarkably well
As a Ukrainian i expected that it will be very hard to understand this song but surprisingly it was actually easier to understand middle Polish for me then it is to understand modern Polish😄
As if medieval Germanic music wasn't awesome enough, you now bring out the Polish Commonwealth which is literally one of my favorite countries in history.
see skaldic you already had me at catholic vikings but now your hitting home with the polish stuff i litterally cant get enough of your songs man please never stop doing what your doing you absolute legend
@@sebastiansuteu1829 the different regions of christendom developed their own traditions and customs (celtic christianity, for example), and it was the western tradition that the northmen mostly adopted, if we're talking about the ones that stayed at home.
@@sebastiansuteu1829 he has songs from both but at the end of the day its 2 sides of the same coin compared to the rest of christianity I see orthodox as brothers and besides catholic just means universal but side note he does have wings about catholic norsemen as well but yes the varangian are orthodox the main point of my statement is its enjoyable viking music without being neo pagan garbage

Oh my my, everyone and his aunt are "direct descendant" of either Sobieski, Piast or Jagiellon families unless they are Polish, Poles are only peasant descended xD Seriously speaking - no, you are not, neither of you. Sobieski is quite popular surname in Poland and I personally know one Sobiescy family - not these Sobiescy though.
Fantastic work brother, greetings from Brazil. Turks wanted to take Rome and transform Saint Peter's Basilica into a mosque, thankfully God delievered to christianity great generals such as Prince Eugen von Savoy and King Jan III Sobiéski, saviours of the Golden Apple.
@@ElBattaliador Too bad the Austrian leader betrayed Jan after the battle, he replied Jan's victory letter with a horrible insult. Wounded Poles were denied any treatment, fallen ones bodies treated really bad, no shelter offered by Austrians, Jan's request to get a ship to carry wounded soldiers was denied and 100 years later, they partition Poland. No need to be disrespectful for your enemies for fighting for their glory and their nation.
@@ElBattaliador Honestly, I am a Turk and I really feel bad for Jan. He just comes and saves Austria from getting destroyed and that's the reply of Austrians to Poles after they save their huge ass. Maybe it would have been better for both Poles and Ottomans if they didn't save Austrian's ass in Vienna, who knows?
Very beautiful that you honor your wife's traditions same as our old ancestors who came before us but always remember all who came before us and guided us here and now. We exist because of our ancestors
As a Czech I can understand aprox. something about 95% of the lyrics! But there is nothing to be surprised, old Czech and old Polish were very similar, more than today, but even today we can understand each other quite well, but back in the days it was much simpler I guess. Btw awesome job with the whole song!
As a Pole, it sounds truly great! I can easily imagine winged hussars singing this. Your pronunciation makes me smile - I can clearly hear that your're not Polish, but also trying your best to master ż, rz, sz, cz, ci, etc... Huge appreciation!
It's good to see someone honouring their personal connections to different languages/cultures. So many people forget the history all we Europeans share and act as if their own present-time country was the only one of note ever... Whereas in reality, there is so much that shaped us into who we are today and so many things our past has seen that many people are ignorant of. As if all those people were nothing but tales and dead dust - but we should understand them, honour them, remember them. Who are we without those who came before us? Thank you for reminding us with your wonderful music. God bless you and your wife.
They were murderers, killed without mercy. From the frankish attack on the frisians, from the saxon wars to the crusades in outremere or balticum, the christians came to murder, rape, pillage and burn. The Nero should have crucified them all, when he had the chance. Would have given the world much peace.
Yeah.. Too bad the Austrian leader betrayed Jan after the battle, he replied Jan's victory letter with a horrible insult.

@@pattyguy guess after the main threat of the Christian world was defeated, the Christians went back to the time of conflict between Nations once again, guess that is very normal, sometimes the one in the same religion to another’s view, is a bigger threat than the enemy who believed in different religion.
@@Polish_Orthodox_KnightI'm not the only one who thought that. I don't know how it would sound as they are different musical styles, but I would like to think the mixed styles would be interesting to hear if there was a mix of the two. How would the two even blend?
Cool! My wife is Lithuanian (and Occitan) and Lithuanians were also represented in the hussars. I think around 20 percent? I just find it so interesting that they formed an own commonwealth!
Scaldic, love your music brother. It touches my soul and feels like it takes me back to another time. I've been listening to nothing but your Christian Byzantine era music while I work out. Brings out the Christian Roman blood flowing through my veins!

Mate, your songs are amazing! Love them! I actually come from a noble polish Daniłowicz Family of the Saś family crest. (my great-grandma lived in a manor before the bloody soviets came, let them roll in their graves) and I actually am a direct descendant of Jan Daniłowicz, the grandpa of King Jan III Sobieski. I'm not entirely sure which of Jan Daniłowicz's sons I am a descendant of, but it still kinda cool to have a king in your family tree)). Niech żyje Król!
I'm Polish and I don't know how much this pronounciation reminds of Middle Polish but for modern Polish you sound as you sing on half-breath all time xD it would be really exhausting for Poles to sing in such way. I understood, overall, 100% of this.
Really love how you write your songs in the language of the time. I am in awe of your linguistic and musical talents. Also love the dedication to your wife and her ancestors. Keep up the brilliant work.
Very well done, being fluent in Polish I`m impressed by your pronounciation. For a real challenge do Bogurodzica, Polands first national anthem. It`s a exasperatingly difficult piece...
How you manage to learn this many languages??? I am more amazed to think that these languages are not in common tongue anymore!!! And also I love your music.
I don’t know if you do requests but I would love to hear a song in welsh (or any of the Celtic languages) about the crusades or something of that nature, keep up the good work!!
@@SkaldBard What about eastern Indo-European languages like Persian and Sanskrit? There aren't that many Christian songs in them, they could use a few more!
The only two countries (Poland & Spain) which achieved impossible success in human history, one is recovered, defended and defeated the invasion of a “mild” Religion, and another is defeated the Invasion of Red Plague. Poland is the eternal shield of God and spear of Europe.
@@michalzklodzkafr In my opinion, this man is belong to the Red Plague that Polish used to fight with, it is a little bit weird for you to use him as the icon…… Sorry if I offended you.
As a Pole I can say it's really nicely done, sometimes your tonation feels off and there are a few moments, in which grammar also does so. Though I'm seriously impressed by how well can a foreigner use Polish, because it's not often seen. You've got my respect.
There are many Polish immigrants in the British Isles, so for British or Irish, especially when being Catholic, it's relatively easy to learn Polish when having Polish friends.
Very nice! I'd just like to remark that before the 19th century most Poles pronounced the Ł as an L in Long, not as the "W" as in Water, as it often sound today. Back then only peasants spoke like that, and Winged Hussars were all nobility. They definetly spoke the Ł with their tongue.
My ancestors were there as part of the defenders. My ancestor later lost his life as the HRE took Belgrade for the first time. Another ancestor was the Consort to the Queen of Poland who was a Hapsburg.
On september 12 2023 , Vienna comemorated the 340 years of the greatest victory of the Holy League Coalition of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Holy Roman Empire under glorious and brave King Jan lll Sobieski , Duke Charles V of Lorraine , Prince Eugene of Savoy and Prince Serban Cantacuzino of Wallachia against the great army of the Ottoman Empire under the commander of the Grand Vizier Merzinfonlu Kara Mustafa Pasha on Kahlenberg mountain in 1683 durring the siege of Vienna , marking the beggining of the decline of the Ottoman Empire .

@@SkaldBardHello! May I propose you Battle of Grunwald? We, alongside with Lithuanians and Ruthenians, fought arm to arm with Teutonic invader. We found each other under field of Grunwald. Before Poles and Lithuanians charged, they sang ,,Bogurodzica" and after that they rode to battle. We won with Order that chose they way of evil, while it was supposed to defend Christianity. I am waiting for your reply. Kind regards🇵🇱❤️🔥🇬🇧🇮🇪, Polish subscriber
Однако теперь слава польского оружия гремит в украинских степях, где бойцы ВСУ платят тяжёлую цену за защиту Европы от набегов московитов. Но без вашей помощи нашему народу бы пришлось ещё тяжелее в борьбе против захватчиков...
Русские тоже могут прочитать текст песни. Если немного постараться. Самый близкий народ для русских по языку и по духу. Жаль, что исторически судьба развела нас. Был в Варшаве много раз очень нравился этот город. И общался с поляками на русском, а они со мной на польском и могли понять друг друга.
To this day, Austria does not allow Poland to erect a monument to King John III Sobieski on Mount Kahlenberg, who saved the Austrians' asses and not only that. They explain this by saying that they do not want to irritate Turkey.
Even looking at some polish books from late XVIII century we can see how much orthography has changed. I find it very amusing to try to read these books. The words don't look anyhow familiar, but after you try to read and articulate some way, then they sound familiar. I'm curious how do the language researchers determine the sound of some language from few centuries ago. I suppose there is an element of interlanguage comparison. In older polish orthography there are accents above letters, so I think that means accents similar to what is used in spanish. We can also see thay 'y' is used im places where we'd use 'i' nowadays. But how can we know what was the exact sound of this 'y'? Anyway, nice that you did this song :)
It's understandable, considering that Polish was more similar to Proto-Slavic in 17th century. But I am as Polish very shocked how middle-Polish is similar to modern-Polish
So far it seems that only ortography and singular word in this entire song are different, but ortography is close enough to fully understand it anyways.
As a Russian, I can understand some words without translation. Most Slavic languages don’t have such differences like Ancient, Old, Middle and Modern English. And we can read and understand many texts from 11th to 20th centuries.
I was listening to your other songs and though, wow it would be cool if he did some of these in Polish, and then this came on! Any chance we can get some of the old Christian and Crusader songs in Polish like this?
The Turk commander was defeated by his own greed. He basically had the city outright, save for a final step of actually invading, but he kept trying to get them to surrender, and not out of any kind of mercy. If he succeeded, he’d have basically become, de facto, sovereign lord over the city, in control of its wealth generating systems since the infrastructure would be intact. Direct invasion without surrender, means no quarter, the loot would be evenly divided amongst the troops, and the city would effectively become a worthless burned out hole in the ground full of charred bones, and lots of exotic sex slaves taken back to Turkey. But he wanted the former, not the latter, with Vienna, so he kept trying and trying to persuade them to finally surrender, a hubris which accidentally bought Sobieski precious time to snatch victory away from the Turks.

@@sunkan_dunkan_ Haha, thanks for the support, my friend
@@SkaldBard What about eastern Indo-European languages like Persian and Sanskrit? There aren't that many Christian songs in them, they could use a few more!
That's a pretty cool idea ;-)
The only two countries (Poland & Spain) which achieved impossible success in human history, one is recovered, defended and defeated the invasion of a “mild” Religion, and another is defeated the Invasion of Red Plague. Poland is the eternal shield of God and spear of Europe.
Thank you so much from Poland 🇵🇱☦️♥️
@@michalzklodzkafr sorry to ask, but why your icon is the dictator in North Korea???
@@jiaxunliu8181 why not?
@@michalzklodzkafr In my opinion, this man is belong to the Red Plague that Polish used to fight with, it is a little bit weird for you to use him as the icon…… Sorry if I offended you.
@@jiaxunliu8181 I know. But this is a joke.
This song is so great❤... and beautiful
This is so good
As a Pole I can say it's really nicely done, sometimes your tonation feels off and there are a few moments, in which grammar also does so. Though I'm seriously impressed by how well can a foreigner use Polish, because it's not often seen. You've got my respect.
There are many Polish immigrants in the British Isles, so for British or Irish, especially when being Catholic, it's relatively easy to learn Polish when having Polish friends.
I'm impressed how well you pronounce polish words
Please make Remaster or Remake of this song!
Love this, dude.
Make something simillar about hussites and ill love you for the rest of my life.
Dude, you are awesome
Very nice! I'd just like to remark that before the 19th century most Poles pronounced the Ł as an L in Long, not as the "W" as in Water, as it often sound today.
Back then only peasants spoke like that, and Winged Hussars were all nobility. They definetly spoke the Ł with their tongue.

This has value. Cool. I feel like I could lift mountains becous to do otherwise would be dishonorable. 💪
My ancestors were there as part of the defenders. My ancestor later lost his life as the HRE took Belgrade for the first time. Another ancestor was the Consort to the Queen of Poland who was a Hapsburg.
The greatest cavalry charge in history.. turned the valley black.
On september 12 2023 , Vienna comemorated the 340 years of the greatest victory of the Holy League Coalition of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Holy Roman Empire under glorious and brave King Jan lll Sobieski , Duke Charles V of Lorraine , Prince Eugene of Savoy and Prince Serban Cantacuzino of Wallachia against the great army of the Ottoman Empire under the commander of the Grand Vizier Merzinfonlu Kara Mustafa Pasha on Kahlenberg mountain in 1683 durring the siege of Vienna , marking the beggining of the decline of the Ottoman Empire .

Dobra robota.
Wery nice!
The best song of rzeczpospolita obojga narodów since bogurodzica. Thank you!
damm like litery dot to dot polish. i am shocked xd amazing work
Przepiękna piosenka tak jak zawsze i to w moim języku czego się nie spodziewałem coś przecudownego
a z ciekawości - czy jest szansa na pieśni w starszych odmianach języka polskiego lub innych języków słowiańskich?
Dziękuję serdecznie! Bardzo chętnie bym pisał więcej takich piosenek, muszę tylko znaleźć fajne tematy :D
@@SkaldBardHello! May I propose you Battle of Grunwald? We, alongside with Lithuanians and Ruthenians, fought arm to arm with Teutonic invader. We found each other under field of Grunwald. Before Poles and Lithuanians charged, they sang ,,Bogurodzica" and after that they rode to battle. We won with Order that chose they way of evil, while it was supposed to defend Christianity.
I am waiting for your reply.
Kind regards🇵🇱❤️🔥🇬🇧🇮🇪,

Piękná piosenká! Szkoda że późniéj nás rozebráli Awstriacý...
Однако теперь слава польского оружия гремит в украинских степях, где бойцы ВСУ платят тяжёлую цену за защиту Европы от набегов московитов. Но без вашей помощи нашему народу бы пришлось ещё тяжелее в борьбе против захватчиков...

Русские тоже могут прочитать текст песни. Если немного постараться. Самый близкий народ для русских по языку и по духу. Жаль, что исторически судьба развела нас. Был в Варшаве много раз очень нравился этот город. И общался с поляками на русском, а они со мной на польском и могли понять друг друга.
Смутно, но это правда. Но народы- братья🇵🇱❤️🇷🇺
@Polish_Orthodox_Knight к сожалению мой народ опять сошол с ума.
Need the winged Hussars more than ever before now. Same Enemy from within this Time.
To this day, Austria does not allow Poland to erect a monument to King John III Sobieski on Mount Kahlenberg, who saved the Austrians' asses and not only that. They explain this by saying that they do not want to irritate Turkey.

Even looking at some polish books from late XVIII century we can see how much orthography has changed. I find it very amusing to try to read these books. The words don't look anyhow familiar, but after you try to read and articulate some way, then they sound familiar.
I'm curious how do the language researchers determine the sound of some language from few centuries ago. I suppose there is an element of interlanguage comparison. In older polish orthography there are accents above letters, so I think that means accents similar to what is used in spanish. We can also see thay 'y' is used im places where we'd use 'i' nowadays. But how can we know what was the exact sound of this 'y'?
Anyway, nice that you did this song :)
This sounds more understandable to me than modern polish as a Bulgarian speaker.
It's understandable, considering that Polish was more similar to Proto-Slavic in 17th century. But I am as Polish very shocked how middle-Polish is similar to modern-Polish
So far it seems that only ortography and singular word in this entire song are different, but ortography is close enough to fully understand it anyways.
Przychodzimy na bójki i pierogi... i nie mamy już pierogów!!!
As a Pole it sounds a bit weird to my ear, but I think it is good anyway
Sława dumnym Panom Braciom spod chorągwi husarskich, pancernych, lekkich i pana Lisowskiego!
Polonia semper fidelis!
How many Scandinavians were in those war's?Quite a few
Then the Winged Hussars arrived!
Cool. Who knows Polish, tell me, is the language of the song very different from modern Polish?
How many languages do you speak?
Please make more songs in Slavic languages
Jako Polak bardzo dziękuję. Pozdrawiam.
Will you also upload the instrumental?
Yeah I might start uploading the instrumentals for my songs :-)

Actually it sounds fully modern Polish. Old Polish could be easily differentiated. Only the spelling is archaic.
As a Russian, I can understand some words without translation. Most Slavic languages don’t have such differences like Ancient, Old, Middle and Modern English. And we can read and understand many texts from 11th to 20th centuries.

I was listening to your other songs and though, wow it would be cool if he did some of these in Polish, and then this came on! Any chance we can get some of the old Christian and Crusader songs in Polish like this?
The Turk commander was defeated by his own greed. He basically had the city outright, save for a final step of actually invading, but he kept trying to get them to surrender, and not out of any kind of mercy. If he succeeded, he’d have basically become, de facto, sovereign lord over the city, in control of its wealth generating systems since the infrastructure would be intact. Direct invasion without surrender, means no quarter, the loot would be evenly divided amongst the troops, and the city would effectively become a worthless burned out hole in the ground full of charred bones, and lots of exotic sex slaves taken back to Turkey. But he wanted the former, not the latter, with Vienna, so he kept trying and trying to persuade them to finally surrender, a hubris which accidentally bought Sobieski precious time to snatch victory away from the Turks.
Wrong god gave us victory
