It's worth adding some context. The text, which is a poem by Maria Konopnicka was written in 1908 when Poland officially didn't exist. During that time Poland was divided between Germany, Austria and Russia and both Germany and Russia persecuted Poles including destruction of Polish language and culture and children were forced to be taught German and Russian and learning Polish was forbidden. This is why there are those references to Germany. It's a classic Polish patriotic piece, it was considered to be made into the Polish anthem but didn't become one. Obviously today it wouldn't make much sense as we no longer live in that situation and if we wanted to look at this purely from a historic standpoint, then the poem simply doesn't encompass other events that happened earlier, at that time and later, nothing about persecution by Russia for example. Still, it was a really important poem and then song.

Muzykę napisał Feliks Nowowiejski.

[@MayaTheDecemberGirl]

The lyrics of this anthem were written by a famous, known by everyone in Poland, writer, poet, novelist Maria Konopnicka. And music was composed by a Polish composer, conductor, concert organist Feliks Nowowiejski. It was publicly performed for the first time during a patriotic demonstation in Cracow in 1910, held to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Polish victory over the Teutonic Knights (being mostly of German origin) in the Battle of Grunwald (1410). It's a very important song, or rather anthem, for the Polish nation, in context of its history.

Rota was written in 19th century when Poland was partitioned between Germany, Russia and Austria. Germany and Russia oultawed Polish language and culture. The author of the words, great poet Maria Konopnicka lived in the German part in the city Poznan, thus reference to germanising the children.

[@Karolina-ge6hr]

Learning lyrics of this song was mandatory in school

[@Piotr-bh5yx]

Viewers and listeners should know the origins of this song. Maria Konopnicka wrote the text of "Rota" in 1908, as her reaction to the German persecution of Polishness and Poles living in Wielkopolska, the cradle of Polish statehood. The German exploits were sharply criticized throughout the civilized world. Polish composer and musician Feliks Nowowiejski composed the music in 1910 and then (July 15, 1910, in Krakow, during the unveiling of the Grunwald Monument) the song was performed in public for the first time. Later, in free Poland, there were plans to make "Rota" the Polish anthem, but ultimately (to this day) the anthem is "Mazurek Dąbrowskiego". Warmest regards

[@publicminx]

but one should also keep in mind that before and after the war most countries did exactly the same, enforcing the national standard language on the entire population. Poland did that as well (it changed later in the 1990ties due to EU Regulations about minority languages). One can still today hear different groups complaining in Spain, UK, France and so on that most regional languages of all kind got homogenized by Standard Language. It was just a raising thing, especially since the revolutions in Europe with more and more national organizations ...

[@Richus1979]

It gets even more powerful when you realize that it's not just a song. "Rota" means "Oath". And that what it is. Initially written as a poem, nowdays sang on official occasions where people (soldiers, scouts, students)... not only sing a patriotic song. They declare that they will not forsake our fathers land etc. That's why the lyrics are like that. Now, restart and read the lyrics like it was not a song but an oath, makes much more sense.

[@berryboost-xs8fd]

I had to recite it in front of my class and use my own interpretation in terms of the style when I was in school. I think every Pole knows Rota.

[@kayakastek76]

Rota just makes you feel the pride, the anger and the sadness of previous generations. The Polish nation and language were very close to being wiped out from the world. The reason why it can't become an official Polish anthem is that it mentions Germans as our only enemy, while it should include all nations that were or could be a threat to us(that it doesn't matter, who they are, if they're attacking, we will fight them). Mazurek Dąbrowskiego is more encouraging to be patriotic and protect our lands and culture, by mentioning the times we were still in possession of other countries.

The depraved and corrupt nobility sold Poland at the partition sejms because they did not want the introduction of the modern Constitution of 3 May. Three uprisings, the World War and the war with Russia in 1920. Thousands of dead. Poland regained its freedom when the Polish Nation reached for weapons en masse. Peasants and townspeople. This song is a tribute to simple boys, husbands and fathers who reached for this weapon for the rebirth of Polish. Especially for those who gave their lives.

If You want to know how I feel about Rota: I'm a grown man, soon 27. I am always trying to control my emotions, some say I'm sometimes cold, almost psychopathic/apathic (I do not know which psychis state is for low emotions - sorry. Im sure You know what i mean). I have seen suffering and terrible incurable diseases. This is the only thing in the world that breaks me up every time. Literally every time. Whenever I think of it, or it accidently shows up somewhere, I start crying. Its not loud sobbing ofc, but rather quiet tear stuck under my eye, that keeps getting bigger and bigger until I wipe it. For as long as it focus on this song I'm digging deeper and deeper into the darkness. It overwhelms me for some time, but at around half of the song I no longer feel trapped by sadness. I become filled with happiness. This joy comes form understanding the huge honor, blessing and duty which are connected to my past and heritage. This makes me inspired. I gain strength, focus and motivation for next 2 months. This feeling, this memory of the past drives me and makes me so focused on giving not 100, not 101 but 201%. Thanks to this song I know that, just as my parents, grandparents, and their ancestors generations I can make a difference. They did it. Not few doznes heros. Milions of them. People who share such amazing values: God, honor, fatherland... This is my song. This is my anthem.

[@nemezis4sure]

There's a new/old version from 1904 with Teutons instead of Germans ( spitting), Konopnicka decided to change it to "Germans" ( did she see Faulty Towers before everyone else?) and this was the version we have been taught by our grandparents and at schools. But recently this has been changed back to Teutons. To please the Germans, I should imagine😅
