Folwark
Folwark (Belarusian: фальварак, Falvarak; German: Vorwerk; Lithuanian: Palivarkas) is a Polish word for a primarily serfdom-based farm and agricultural enterprise (a type of latifundium), often very large. Folwarks were operated in the Crown of Poland from the 14th century and in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania since the 15th century, from the second half of the 16th century in the joint Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and survived after the partitions of the Commonwealth in the Russian Empire until the early 20th century. Purpose of folwarks was to produce surplus produce for export. The first folwarks were created on church- and monastery-owned grounds. Later they were adopted by both the nobility (szlachta) and rich peasants (singular: sołtys), but the sołtys positions were eventually taken over by the szlachta.
The term "folwark" came into the Polish language in the 14th century from the German "Vorwerk" (literally outside-works, analogously: outlying farm[house]). The English translation would be grange, the historical meaning of which is "an outlying farm with tithe barns belonging to a monastery or feudal lord".

Follow Where You Go
by: Listening PoolSometimes I can find a little piece of mind
But that's alright with me
'Cause I know, I could have told you so
When I think of all the words you said
Well that's enough for me
'Cause I know, I follow where you go
Yes I know, I follow where you go
Is there somewhere left to hide
Somewhere left inside
Now all you say and all you do
I will make it up to you
Everywhere you run to
Every road you come to
I'll follow where you go
Raise the mountains higher
Build a wall of fire
I'll follow where you go
Ever since I've had the time to change your mind
It's been a fight for me
But I know, I never hurt you so
When I think of all the tears you cried
Well that's a crime to me
'Cause I know, I follow where you go
Yes I know, I follow where you go
When the years of lonely cries
Swallow up your pride
And time and time again you say
Save it for a rainy day
I'll be looking out for you
