"Dziewiętnasty to hołota, Bo na konie siada z płota. Gwałci panny, gwałci wdowy Dziewiętnasty pułk morowy". English translation: "The 19th is a rabble, Because its soldiers mount their horses from a fence. It rapes girls, it rapes widows, The 19th, a groovy regiment". Chorus All żurawiejkas had a chorus, repeated after each couplet. It went on as follows: "Lance do boju, szable w dłoń Bolszewika goń, goń, goń Żuraw, żuraw, żurawia Żurawiejka ty maja!" English translation: "Lances for the battle, sabres in hand, Chase the Bolshevik, chase, chase. Crane, crane, crane You are my żurawiejka".
