Warszawianka (1831)

"Warszawianka 1831 roku", "La Varsovienne" ("The Song of Warsaw 1831") was written by Casimir François Delavigne, music by Karol Kurpiński.

The song was written in support of the November Uprising of 1830-1831. The French poet Casimir Delavigne was fascinated and inspired by the news of the uprising making its way to Paris and wrote the words, which were translated into Polish by the historian, journalist, and poet Karol Sienkiewicz (great uncle of Henryk Sienkiewicz).

The song is sometimes confused with a later (1905) Polish revolutionary song of the same name ("Warszawianka 1905 roku", known in English as "Whirlwinds of Danger"), which had its music used for the 1936 Spanish Anarchist song "To the Barricades".
