Warszawianka (1831)


"Warszawianka 1831 roku", "La Varsovienne" was 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.
The song is sometimes confused with a later Polish revolutionary song of the same name, which had its music used for the 1936 Spanish Anarchist song "To the Barricades". It is today the official march past of the Polish Armed Forces.
