Oh, land
of my birth.
Dark, foul weather
autumnal.
Thick dark clouds
rain-filled.
Evil lot
unfortunate.
- Men, hide!
Disaster has come!
- Where to? - To war.
- Soldiers!
- Stop! Hup-two-three!
Right! Hup-two!
[yawns] "Ahhh..."
How few you are, good people.
You'd better call in some help!
- Hup-two!
- Hup-two, together!
One-two, with force!
- What kind of a damned serf is allowed to take liberties with us?
Mother of God! No-o-o-o-o-o!
We won't have this!
Burn the whole village from all four corners.
Hup-two!
- Are you crazy, Ivas, or what?
All the men will perish because of you.
- Forward-march!
Everywhere whistles the whip
of the rulers.
Backs are lashed with the whip
of the landlords.
- Oh, Ivas is done for.
[sings] Where are you, dawn
golden?
Dawn, the messenger
cherished.
- That is the power of Polish weaponry.
Hup-two!
- Let that be a lesson to these serfs!
Hup-two!
AND SO THEY BROUGHT IVAS TO HIS LORDSHIP, SIR LIEUTENANT HIMSELF
- Quiet! Feast your eyes on our commander!
Hup-two!
I dare to report:
replenishment for our noble army has arrived.
Hup-two!
- Be silent!
What military prowess do you possess? Answer!
- Well... I... sir...
...am not so literate there.
- Be silent!
Fool.
Read!
- The serfs bend their backs,
while the lords drink vodka.
- Silence!
Oh-oh-oh... cattle!
Well? Is it sweet?
- Ptooey!
- It's nothing...
we are used to it.
You're on top.
- In the great Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth,
in the Grenadier Regiment,
you will have the lowest rank.
[pipe signal]
AND IVAS BEGAN TO SERVE THE POLISH-LITHUANIAN COMMONWEALTH
- Quiet!
Sit down where you are!
Take off your boot! Put on your boot!
Take off! Put on!
Take off! Put on! Take off! Put on!
Stand up! Hup-two!
Right! Hup-two!
Forward-march! Hup-two!
Left! Hup-two!
About-turn, march!
Hup-two-three-four!
Right! Hup-two!
Stop! Hup-two!
Lie down! Hup-two!
Stand up! Hup-two!
Lie down! Hup-two!
Stand up! Hup-two!
Step-march! Hup-two-three-four!
Run-march!
Hup-two-three-four! Hup-two-three-four!
Stop! Hark! Hup-two!
Phew!
Well? Is it sweet?
See that?
By evening, a road through that forest
must be made!
Hup-two!
[drumroll]
[sad music]
[anxious music]
[energetic music]
THE SUN HAD BARELY SET - AND ALREADY THE POLISH OFFICERS WERE AT THE FOREST EDGE
[lyrical music]
- Well done!
Thank you for your work.
- Glad to make the effort! Hup-two!
- Sirs, please allow me to have a rest.
- Be silent!
What is "to have a rest"?
See that?!
When I come in the morning, let there be a bridge!
Of stone! Be silent!
Off you go, blockhead.
[2.5 minutes follow in which only the audio has survived]
[The Poles arrive to inspect the new bridge Ivas has built]
[They see the bridge.]
- Grand merci!
[said by a new character, the colonel, to his underling, the thin lieutenant]
- Sirs, please allow me to have a break.
What? What?!
Bloody hounds!
Put him in place to guard the regimental treasury!
On the ready!
Stand guard for three nights!
Don't take your eyes off it!
Bloody hounds!
[smooth music]
[whistling wind]
REGIMENTAL TREASURY
Oh, you wind!
Willful wind.
You, like a bird, can fly wherever you want.
Turn, you free wind, to the sunrise.
Fly to my happy brothers. .
Fly to my happy brothers. [USSR]
Tell them about our
grief.
With pattering rain-drops
convey our tears.
- Stop!
Back!
- As you were!
I'm on an important mission.
To see the treasury.
Hup-two!
What is this?
Riot!
Hup-two!
[whistles]
- Stop!
Where are you going?!
- To see the treasury. Don't interfere!
- Stop!
- You...
- Stop!
Bloody hounds!
- Don't move!
What do you want with this treasury?
Is it yours? Who do you think you are?
- It belongs to Dolner town.
Without it, our food suffers.
Bloody hounds!
[trumpet signal]
AS SOON AS IT WAS LIGHT, THE GENERAL HIMSELF,
IN ALL HIS REGALIA, CAME TO CHECK THE POSTS
[marching music]
- Hey! Ha-ha-ha...
I don't understand.
This is how it works in Poland:
For the night you leave the treasury,
and next morning you not find a penny.
I don't understand,
the treasury is completely full!
We have to give an award to the serf.
Go, serf, think on it:
what reward do you want?
[marching music]
Remember your rank? You'll get half of the reward!
- Hup-two!
- Yes, sir. We split the reward.
Half of the reward to us!
- Bloody hounds! - Right you are! To you!
- Well, serf?
What kind of reward do you want?
- I want to get a hundred lashes to my butt in front of everyone!
- Wow! Ha-ha-ha! I don't understand.
Stupid serf, Crawls into coffin on his own!
Give him 100 lashes.
[trumpet signal]
[sounds of the march]
- Quiet!
Take your pants off,
receive your reward.
- Allow me, sir...
we have a contract, you see...
Half of the reward to the officers,
and the other half... to Mr. corporal.
- Hup-two!
Void the contract!
And for the serf,
just for being overly clever, give...
...200 lashes!
And burn down his village!
Sir, please take a look there.
What is that coming out from the forest?
['Polyushko-polye' music]
- Oh! Ah ha ha!
I don't understand.
Somehow... I don't feel good...
Er... Sir colonel,
I'm giving you command.
- So, lords, can you hear what's nearby?
Sir lieutenant!
I give you command, you have a heroic opportunity!
- Sir corporal, to arms!
Stop sleeping! Wake up!
To arms!
Hup-two!
- Ha-ha-ha-ha!
We've woken up, sir corporal! Woken up all the way!
Hup-two!
Where the free wind blows!
Look, how it sweeps away the lords!
[fast energetic music]
Thank you, brothers, for your help!
An eternal end to the Polish lords!
