A cliff-notes version of the legend of the trumpeter of Krakow who saved the city from a Tartar invasion, but was killed in the middle of his song of alarm.
lyrics
From an ancient tower, in older city still,
the lonely trumpet sounds alarm.
Its song abruptly ended.
The musician is dead
but we are saved
Celebrate
But his wife has no husband
His children no father
And we can't remember his name.
Trumpeter of Krakow
Trumpeter of Krakow
Sound, Sound
Sound, Sound
Sound.
