GOP GÓRNOŚLĄSKI OKRĘG PRZEMYSŁOWY

THIS POEM WAS WRITTEN TO TANK COAL MINERS FOR THEIR HARD WORK, FOR THEIR BRAVERY AND DEEDS „Ołowiane niebo” Ślązacy ciężko pracują, tu domy swoje budują. W głębi tej śląskiej ziemi wśród węgla i kamieni fedrują ciężko górnicy, a tam na górze ponad ich głowami – przy piecach stoją hutnicy. Serca ich biją równym rytmem i są gorące, zmarszczone przedwcześnie twarze i spracowane ręce – to wszystko co dostali do losu w podzięce.
