Warszawianka (Whirlwinds of Danger)
"Warszawianka" is a Polish socialist revolutionary song written between 1879 and 1883. Its title, which means a woman of Warsaw (and can be rendered "The Varsovian" or "The Song of Warsaw"), deliberately recalls an earlier Polish song of the same name; to tell them apart it is often called "Warszawianka of 1905", after it became the anthem of the workers' protests of the Revolution in the Kingdom of Poland (1905–1907), when 30 workers were shot at the May Day demonstrations in Warsaw in 1905.
