Hey!
My grandfather was Polish and he used to sing this song to my dad but we can't find it ANYWHERE online and we'd like to hear it again. :) As far as we're aware it's about a lady climbing into a hay loft. This is what we can remember (and remember we don't speak polish sadly)

Opie Shupie, Opie Shupie,
Opie Shupie, Siano
Yaktemije Tano
Opie Shupe

Please help us if you recognize it. Thanks!

I think the song you are looking for may be LIST DO CARA (A letter to Tsar), Polish army march song.




LIST DO CARA
A konna bateria już nad Styrem stoi,
już nad Styrem stoi, już nad Styrem stoi.
I pisze do Cara, że się go nie boi,
Że się go nie boi, hopaj - siup!

Hopaj – siupaj, hopaj - siupaj,
hopaj - siupaj dana, hopaj - siupaj dana,
dziewczyno kochana.
Wczoraj spałem na podłodze,
Dzi¶ na stogu siana,
Do samego rana, hopaj - siup!

I pisze do Cara czarnym atramentem,
czarnym atramentem, czarnym atramentem.
Że się go nie boi z całym regimentem,
z całym regimentem, hopaj - siup!

A nasze ciężkie działa już pod Ryg± stoj±,
już pod Ryg± stoj±, już pod Ryg± stoj±
I pisz± do Cara, że się go nie boj±,
że się go nie boj±, hopaj - siup!

Hopaj - siupaj ...

I pisz± do Cara, po co zdejmał dzwony,
po co zdejmał dzwony, po co zdejmał dzwony,
Pewno nie miał kulek dla swojej obrony,
dla swojej obrony, hopaj - siup.

I pisz± szabelk± z hartowanej stali,
z hartowanej stali, z hartowanej stali,
Że cał± czeredę hen za Bug wygnali,
hen za Bug wygnali, hopaj - siup!

Hopaj - siupaj...

A w końcu w okopy szwadron posłali¶my,
szwadron posłali¶my, szwadron posłali¶my,
W niewolę pułk carski cały zabrali¶my,
cały zabrali¶my, hopaj - siup.

Polish Chick;

Your version of the song is wrong.. There is no lady involved.

This is all about a Polish brigade preparing to do battle against the Tsar.
The part about the hay should be. ( Last night I slept on a floor, but today I slept on dry hay, until the next morning)

Here is another American version.

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! My dad is still in shock that it's the same song! Had no idea about the lady in a hay loft. Still laughing about that. Thanks again. :)
