I heard this song on a pilgrimage once and was thrilled by the melody. We had been walking all day, exhausted and hungry, and it started raining like hell, so the guide priest initiated the song and it fekking worked! It breathed new life into us.
Lord is My Shepherd:
The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want.
[2]He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters
[3]He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake
[4]Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
[5]Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemes; thou annointest my headwith oil; my cup runneth over
[6] Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. and I will dwell in the house of The Lord forever.
Its arrangement and choir style are based on Polish folk music and also remind me of traditional Jewish songs.
Live

I never took part in a pilgrimage. But I liked 'Barka'. I think of transferring part of the songs I posted in "New Wave' into this new thread  |

I never took part in a pilgrimage. It is high time, Tufta. ;D ;D ;D ;D The 2012 pilgrimage from Warsaw to Jasna Góra leaves on 1 August. ;D ;D ;D ;D Does it mean you don`t like it anymore? ;D ;D ;D ;D Somehow I never liked it. Why? I dunno. Probably it was too popular. I like to go against the mainstream. ;D ;D ;D ;D And I believe there are much more appealing songs. For example: My Lord, I will offer you all my life. I am all yours, for ever. Here is my heart, you know, you are my only love. And the same song in rock version: |

LOL, Bo! Since you have mentioned a pilgrimage, and it seems that every pilgrimage of the modest numner of appeox. 123456 ones, which cross the country like intercity trains in August seem to perpetually sing 'Barka', thus I said "I like Barka,though No, no pilgrimage for me, Bo. Not my way, so to say. Thanks for posting the 'Ofiarujê Panie Tobie Panie Mój' in the rock version,never heard it before. I have to neverthells notice that with the passing your musical taste is gettin kinda balmy and placid. What is happening to you, Bo? Just to remind you the all good times Jesus Christ rules: |

It is happening to others too. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Jesus Christ is my Lord. He loves me. That song was incorporated into the first one I posted, here it is on its own. All versions share the same motif - the melody is slow at the beginning, then it gains speed. Another nice one: Jesus is my strength, the song of my life. |

We want God, we subjects
I give you this commandment: Love each other, as I love you:

Songs to Mary:
Among so many ways
Among so many ways, lead my heart,
Lead it where joy is eternal.
I trust you Mother, guide me.
Black Madonna
Madonna, Black Madonna, how good it is your child
Let us Black Madonna, hide in your arms.
Queen of Poland
You`ve been Queen of Poland for centuries
Say a word for us, Mary.
Give a hand to the blind.
Stop the suffering of the weak,
Take care of your kingdom.

Spring in the desertI like this one a lot...it's a really nice Advent song! (I also like all the others in this thread, as you might imagine I would. So, where is the "Witaj..." song I've been asking about?? |

So, where is the "Witaj..." song I've been asking about?? It is certainly not the mainstream song sung in churches Polandwide. It must be some local peasant tradition. It is natural I don`t know all those folks customs. |

It is natural I don`t know all those folks customs. I think perhaps it is particular to Jasna Gora. All different groups sing it when visiting the chapel of the icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa. If it's a local peasant tradition, I don't think all those various groups of pilgrims would know it. But you're the Pole, not me, so perhaps you know better! |

They both have Witaj in their titles. |

They both have Witaj in their titles. Sorry...but no, neither of these is the one I'm thinking of. Every line in the song begins with "witaj". Sometimes they show videos instead of live-streaming at the Jasna Gora chapel, and if I happen to come across a video where they are singing the song I'm curious about, I will send you a link to it... Thanks for trying, though! |

I'm not sure if you'll be able to access this youtube video, but they are singing the "Witaj" song... I was able to see it when they were broadcasting the mass, however, I was too late and I only managed to hear the last half minute of the song without any words. We need to try again one more time in the future. |

The videos they have on youtube are hours long, as the one I posted is, so I'm wondering if there is a different way to do this that I don't know about. |

There is only one way - you may try to watch a video from Jasna Góra which is permanent on Youtube. Let it play in the background for hours while you do other things, e.g., reply to my posts here. Sooner or later you must hear the song. |

How can I get your attention when they start singing unless you are online listening as well, and I can post, "Listen, this is it!!" Do you know what a telex machine is/was (not sure they still exist!)?. It was kind of like being online with someone, and you could talk back and forth through typing, and if you wanted to get the attention of someone on the other end, you could ring a bell; they would hear it and come to their telex to respond. I wish we each had one of those!! (We used them when I worked at the shipping company, and we communicated daily with offices in Europe and Japan. It was fun!) |

I wasn`t talking about a video streamed live on Youtube. I meant a video which was recorded and loaded into youtube and has stayed there permanently. E.g., this one is the video from your link which was live one day ago when you posted it but now it seems they have turned it into permanent - it lasts 11 hours. Just start playing it in the background and wait for the song. So simple!  : |

I will put it on and listen to it...I know it was towards the beginning, so it couldn't be more than 6 hours or so!  It's not how I planned to spend my Christmas holiday, but oh well! Actually, I usually have it on my computer anyway, so it won't be that different from my typical circumstances! |
