Lyrics
(Verse 1)
In sixteen seventy-three, a tale of bravery unfolds,
At the gates of Vienna, where the future would be told,
The Ottoman horde approached, with conquest on their mind,
But destiny would change that day, a turning of the tide.
(Chorus)
Oh, Polish hussars, knights of the winged charge,
Thundering down the field, where destiny loomed large,
With lances gleaming, they rode into the fray,
At the Battle of Vienna, they turned the tide that day.
(Verse 2)
Led by Sobieski bold, the warriors took their stand,
Defenders of Christendom, protecting their homeland,
Against the siege of terror, they rallied for the fight,
With banners high and swords held proud, they rode into the night.
(Chorus)
Oh, Polish hussars, knights of the winged charge,
Thundering down the field, where destiny loomed large,
With lances gleaming, they rode into the fray,
At the Battle of Vienna, they turned the tide that day.
(Outro)
So raise a toast to heroes, whose valor never fades,
Whose legacy endures in history's accolades,
In tales of old and songs of pride, their memory will stay,
The Polish hussars' shining hour at the Battle of Vienna's fray.
[Verse 3]
As morning light did break, the hussars' charge prevailed,
The enemy in disarray, their hopes and dreams curtailed,
Vienna stood triumphant, Europe's fate preserved,
By Polish hussars' gallant charge, their honor well deserved.
[Chorus]
Oh, Polish hussars, knights of the winged charge,
Thundering down the field, where destiny loomed large,
With lances gleaming, they rode into the fray,
At the Battle of Vienna, they turned the tide that day.
