View source for Hej Sokoły ("Zofia's Song")

'''Hej Sokoły ("Zofia's Song")''' is a filk of the polish folk song Hej Sokoły, written by [[THL]] [[Finnbjorn Skeggason]] for the elevation of [[Mistress|Metressa]] Zofia Varsoviensis to the [[Order of Defence]] in A.S. 59. It became popular to sing afterwards in its own right, with people continuing to perform it after Zofia moved from Lochac to other parts of the [[Known World]].

When performed, the first two "hey"'s of the chorus should be punctuated by the crowd then yelling "hey" on the off-beat.

<big>'''Lyrics:'''</big>

<br> Somewhere from the dusty plain
<br> A hussar rides to find her fame
<br> O'er winding roads to lead her far
<br> She's left her heart in Innilgard

<br> ''Hey hey hey sokoly''
<br> ''Fly away o'er mountain and the valleys''
<br> ''Swear your, swear your fealty''
<br> ''To guard the crown to serve the dream''
<br> ''Hey, hey, hey sokoly''
<br> ''Fly away o'er mountain and the valleys''
<br> ''Swear your, swear your fealty''
<br> ''And ride when Lochac calls for thee''

<br> From Lochac's plain to far Trimaris
<br> Herman's champion dons her harness
<br> Mermaid clad in steel and leather
<br> Warszawa semper invicta

<br> ''Hey hey hey sokoly''
<br> ''Fly away o'er mountain and the valleys''
<br> ''Swear your, swear your fealty''
<br> ''To guard the crown to serve the dream''
<br> ''Hey, hey, hey sokoly''
<br> ''Fly away o'er mountain and the valleys''
<br> ''Swear your, swear your fealty''
<br> ''And ride when Lochac calls for thee''

<br> So now ye fly far from our borders
<br> Steel you heart, steel your sword
<br> We cast our eyes to your return to
<br> Lochac, Innilgard and Blessed Herman 

<br> ''Hey hey hey sokoly''
<br> ''Fly away o'er mountain and the valleys''
<br> ''Swear your, swear your fealty''
<br> ''To guard the crown to serve the dream''
<br> ''Hey, hey, hey sokoly''
<br> ''Fly away o'er mountain and the valleys''
<br> ''Swear your, swear your fealty''
<br> ''And ride when Lochac calls for thee''

<br> Wine, wine, give me wine
<br> A toast to you, it's come your time
<br> Now join the ranks of our defenders
<br> Rise Metressa Varsoviensis

<br> ''Hey hey hey sokoly''
<br> ''Fly away o'er mountain and the valleys''
<br> ''Swear your, swear your fealty''
<br> ''To guard the crown to serve the dream''

<br> Hej, hej, hej sokoły
<br> Omijajcie góry, lasy, doły.
<br> Dzwoń, dzwoń, dzwoń dzwoneczku,
<br> Mój stepowy skowroneczku.

<br> ''Hey, hey, hey sokoly''
<br> ''Fly away o'er mountain and the valleys''
<br> ''Swear your, swear your fealty''
<br> ''And ride when Lochac calls for thee''
