Ergo Sum Lyrics

[music: Potasz, Konarska; lyrics: Potasz]

Nie widz...

bo wzrok zamyka mi oczy duszy.

Bo w gowie....

jak kruk pilnuje i myli plcze

Bym nie wyrzeka nic.

A ja i tak

sowa oblec w skr chc

I pokaza Ci, jakimi s.

eby ciao twoje

odczu mogo je.

Opowiedzie histori nasz

Moimi oczami

Histori ycia, nie poznanego.

Tak gorco jest i wiesz jak jest,

Gdy patrzysz na mnie

I prosisz by dla Ciebie byo

co mona (byo kiedy) wzi.

Za pno ju na al.

(Za mao pewnoci i strach. Droga moja przesza obok)

I can't see 'cause it closes my sight

my soul eyes in my head

as crow keeps watching

and my thoughts tangles

for me to say nothing

I anyway

want to cover words in skin

show you them

what they are like

To make your body

feel them very close

I wanna tell you our story

with my eyes

the story of life

you've never had

So hot

and how it is you know

when you watch me

and want me to give you something

you could take

too late for our grief

Polish children

Pahīatua camp

The Pahīatua camp was set up during the Second World War to intern ‘enemy aliens’, who were moved there from Somes Island in 1943. In 1944 they were sent back to the island, and the camp became home to 734 Polish children, refugees from war-torn Europe. Most of them became New Zealanders. In 1975 some came back to Pahīatua to unveil a memorial sculpture on the site, just south of the town.

The town’s name comes from the Māori words for resting place (pahi) and god (atua). One interpretation is that a chief escaping from enemies was led by his god to a hill, where he rested.

War History of New Zealand

A five year epic journey from Poland to Pahiatua

Thank you to our Polish followers and out of respect for you guys we have featured this segment in New Zealand’s Memories of the polish children's camp of pahiatua.

I used to cut through to Lambton Quay from Oriental Bay or at one time via the civic square around the waterfront of Wellington. I especially loved these harbour walks in the worst weather nothing like the famous wet squally winds of Wellington and on one of these days I came across a memorial to these polish children.

The following is an excerpt from
A five year epic journey from Poland to Pahiatua by Stanislaw Manterys

On 1 November 1944 the USS General M Randall anchored in the Port of Wellington, a troop carrier of the United States Navy, bringing home New Zealand soldiers who fought alongside the Allies. Among the passengers were the future polish children of pahiatua.

After the invasion by the Russian Red Army the invaders began systematic mass arrests and deportation to forced labour camps in Soviet Russia under a policy of ethnic cleansing.

Whole families were deported and among the one and a half million exiles were many children.
