This is a polish folk song.There is also an ukrainian version of this song
The song's authorship is not completely certain. Some historians attribute the writing of the song to the Ukrainian-Polish poet-songwriter Tomasz Padura (1801–1871) (however, according to the latest Ukrainian research, there are no lyrics of the song in any of Padura's song collections). Others believe it was written by the Polish classical composer Maciej Kamieński (1734–1825). The original Polish-language version was translated (sometimes with modified lyrics) into several languages.
The tune was popular among Polish soldiers during the Polish-Soviet War, and was also sung by the Polish Home Army guerrillas during World War II.
