Nisko [ˈɲiskɔ] is a town in Nisko County, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, Poland on the San River, with a population of 15,534 inhabitants as of 2 June 2009. Together with neighbouring city of Stalowa Wola, Nisko creates a small agglomeration.
Nisko was first mentioned in a document dated 15 April 1439, in which King Władysław III of Varna handed the villages of Nysky, Zaoszicze and Pyelaskowicze to a local nobleman. Furthermore, Nisko was also mentioned by Jan Dlugosz, in his work Liber beneficiorum dioecesis Cracoviensis. The establishment of the village was probably the result of catastrophic Mongol Invasion of Poland, which decimated the population of Lesser Poland. Residents of burned villages and towns resettled in the areas north of the enormous Sandomierz Wilderness. Probably in the second half of the 13th century, a village was established on a hill near the San river.
Due to the location on the outskirts of the wilderness, local residents supported themselves by hunting and trade of timber, which was transported to other centers along the San and the Vistula waterways. In the 1570s, peasants from Nisko and other locations rebelled against the Starosta of Sandomierz, Andrzej Firlej. In 1578, they met with King Stefan Batory, who stayed in Tarnogrod, asking him for justice. The king supported the peasants, urging Firlej to come to Warsaw. On 10 November 1583, Batory issued a bill, in which he backed demands of the peasants.
Nisko is a town in Subcarpathian Voivodeship in south-west Poland.

I'm sitting here
going round in circles,
all the boring day.
I'm waiting for the coffee,
but you have gone away.
Lonesome days and lonesome nights,
without you by my side,
have passed since you have left my home,
in that awful night.
I recall those sunny springtime mornings,
those stormy nights in fall,
I'd like to feel the same again,
but you don't care at all.
Don't break my heart, Don't break my heart,
Don't let us fall apart, don't break my heart
I'm sitting here without a trace,
why did you go away ?
Oh, how I'd like to see your face,
but you didn't want to stay.
Without you now my life is sad,
I have to recognize,
I wish now I could turn back time
and have to pay the price.
We watched the moon,
we watched the stars,
and sometimes felt so small,
the stars still shining every night,
but you don't care at all.

>> Solo
I recall those sunny springtime mornings,
those stormy nights in fall,
I'd like to feel the same again,
but you don't care at all.
