RKS POLISH Literature:  Song of the Bridesmaids (Władysław Reymont)

The girl began to cry-

Such a wedding did they give her,

Four candles they lit for her,

The organ they played to her.

Did you think, O girl, that

For you they’d always play a song?

A little yesterday, a little today….

Then cry your whole life long

Da dana! Cry your whole life long.

Władysław Reymont, “The Peasants”, 1909
