Translation to Krakowiaczek
Does anyone have a translation to Krakowiaczek ? Krakowiaczek jeden mial koników siedem. Pojechal na wojnę, Zostal mu się jeden.

Krakowianka jedna miala chlopca z drewna i dziewczynke z wosku, wszystko po krakowsku. --- Krakowiaczek jeden Miał koników siedem Pojechał na wojnę Został mu się jeden

Siedem lat wojował Szabli nie wyjmował Szabla zardzewiała Wojny nie widziała

Krakowianka jedna Miała chłopca z drewna A buciki z wosku Wszystko po krakowsku

Krakowiaczek ci ja Krakowskiej natury Kto mi wejdzie w drogę Ja na niego z góry

Krakowiaczek ci ja Któż nie przyzna tego Siedemdziesiąt kółek U pasika mego

Krakowiaczek ci ja Z czerwona czapeczką Szyta kierezyja Bucik z podkóweczką

Gra mi wciąż muzyka A kółka trzepocą Jak małe księżyce W blasku się migocą

Krakowiaczek jeden Miał koników siedem Pojechał na wojnę Został mu się jeden

 * Maybe you could ask at Dyskusja:Stanisław Moniuszko? Martinevans123 (talk) 11:51, 1 February 2020 (UTC)


 * (posting same reply I posted at the Entertainment Desk) Mama Lisa has one (not sure if all the verses you posted are there, but there are quite a few): Krakowiaczek jeden. ---Sluzzelin talk  14:21, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
 * In situations like this, we can also try to summon the helpful assistance of Kpalion, CiaPan or Piotrus. ---Sluzzelin talk  01:01, 2 February 2020 (UTC)


 * I've just Googled "krakowiaczek jeden english" and found this translation, which is quite good. It's not literal, but does a pretty good job of preserving both the sense and the rythm of the song. Please let me know, if you're looking for a more literal translation or need help with some specific words.
 * One note on the translation linked to above: it renders "krakowiaczek" as "a man from Kraków", but the term actually refers to a member of the Krakowiacy, an ethnic subgroup living in the region around Kraków. In other words, the man and the girl in the song are not citizens of the city of Kraków, but peasants from one of the villages in the Kraków region. — Kpalion(talk) 12:59, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, a fun note: I was born and raised in Kraków and I've never heard more than the first three stanzas of the song. — Kpalion(talk) 13:06, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

Original is PD but pl wikisource does not link to any English translation:. However, we can make our own, through I am unsure it would be allowed on wikisource? Any translation is AFAIK subject to its own new copyright.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 18:19, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
