One of the songs sung by our Polish tutors & Andrzej, camp director (they knew so many songs, & loved to sing them...) has become my favorite; brings great memories back to me. It's call Hej Sokoly, which translates as..."Hey, Falcons," and was sung by soldiers in the Polish-Soviet war of 1920 and again during WWII.
Here's a real nice version --

My favorite version, tho, was done by the Bielorussian group at the Podlasie Octave of Culture in Bialystok. I've a video of it & will see if I can upload it onto Youtube.
What a great song!
