Wola

Wola (Polish pronunciation: [ˈvɔla]) is a district in western Warsaw, Poland, formerly the village of Wielka Wola, incorporated into Warsaw in 1916. An industrial area with traditions reaching back to the early 19th century, it is slowly changing into an office and residential district. Several museums are located in Wola.


History

First mentioned in the 14th century, it became the site of the elections, from 1573 to 1764, of Polish kings by the szlachta (nobility) of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

The Wola district later became famous for the Polish Army's defence of Warsaw in 1794 during the Kościuszko Uprising and in 1831 during the November Uprising, when Józef Sowiński and Józef Bem defended the city against tsarist forces.

During the Warsaw Uprising (August–October 1944), fierce battles raged in Wola. Around August 8, Wola was the scene of the largest single massacre in Poland of 40,000 to 50,000 civilians. The area was held by Polish fighters belonging to the Armia Krajowa.

Wola (settlement)

Wola in Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, (in Latin libera villa, libertas ) a name given to agricultural villages, appearing as early as the first half of the thirteenth century and historically constituting a separate category of settlements in Poland, by comparison to others, in terms of the populace used to settle them and the freedoms they were granted. These settlers were given plots of land and exemption for a certain number of years (up to 20) from all rents, fees, and taxes, and in most cases separate institutions and charters based on either the Magdeburg law, or its local variants.

The name Wola, usually followed by an adjective, forms part of a toponym of hundreds of villages in Poland.

    Zomer 2011

    by: Yello

    Wakker om half vijf, weer nen halven dag voorbij
    (fucking houten kop)
    De kater zit vooral opzij
    Lange nachten, waarschijnlijk was ik behoorlijk scheef
    Misschien was het plezant, maar mijn geheugen is een zeef
    Ik heb mijn oude gewoonte weeral volledig terug
    En mensen merken het, ze praten achter mijne rug
    'K ben als ne gokker die den helft al verloren heeft
    (blijven gaan)
    Precies alsof ik morgen nie meer leef
    Alsof ik nie meer aan u denk ik mis u pokkehard
    Da single-zijn heeft mij genekt vanaf de fucking start
    Ik weet nie waarom ik feest, waarom ik niks stuur
    Waarom ik uitgezogen naar een volle ?
    En ik hoor de stemmen terug van gisterennacht
    "Hij is zo irritant, hij is weer iets te zat"
    Ik fuck het op, ik fuck het op
    En vanavond ben ik fris, dan doen ik het weer
    Party all night, drie uur en ik lig al neer
    Ik fuck het op...
    Zonder een noodkreet, zonder een teken
    Ik heb u plots in een bevlieging weggesmeten
    En 'k heb u laten liggen da was weeral heel stoer
    Maar toen de deur dicht sloeg kneep het mijn keel toe
    Nu heb ik tegenslag, stroppen zien ik heel den dag
    Nu zen ik het die zit te sturen of ik toesteken mag
    Ik krijg ne "fuck you, nu komd'op de proppen"
    En die shit is zo waar maar toch kan ik het nie verkroppen
    Ik lig te stinken in mijn bed, ik kom voor niks deruit
    Ik zien gebouwen en bruggen als ik mijn ogen sluit
    En 't is nie meer dan redelijk da 'k in de hel ben
    Maar ik wil iemand slagen precies alsof ik het zelf ben
    En ik kan nummers vol zagen maar het is te laat
    Ge moet van u af bijten, 't was mijn eigen raad
    Ik fuck het op, ik fuck het op
    Waarschijnlijk slaan ik morgen door en dan bel ik u weer
    Vier keer voicemail en dan leg ik neer
