The image of an anonymous young man's body carried on doors through the cordons of police and tanks inspired Dowgiałło to write the poem. Not knowing his name at the time, the author decided to give him a name that is typically Polish. Later it was discovered the man was actually named Zbigniew Godlewski and lived in nearby Elbląg. In 1970 he was shot dead along with some 40 other people. • • The legend was popularized in the late 1970s by a song by Mieczysław Cholewa, Pieśń o Janku z Gdyni, and by Jacek Kaczmarski in his Ballada o Janku Wiśniewskim (the song which was performed by Krystyna Janda during the closing credits in the Andrzej Wajda's 1981 movie Man of Iron). After the fall of communism in Poland, a street was named after Zbigniew Godlewski and another after Janek Wiśniewski. • • English translation • • Boys from Grabówek, boys from Chylonia • Today the militsiya opened fire • Bravely we stood, accurately we threw • Janek Wiśniewski fell • • On a door we carried him along Świętojańska • Against the cops, against the tanks • Boys, shipyard workers, avange your comrade • Janek Wiśniewski fell • • The bangers sound, the gas spreads • Blows fall on the workers • Elderly, children, women are falling • Janek Wiśniewski fell • • One is wounded, another killed • Blood was spilled at dawn in December • It's the Party shooting at the workers • Janek Wiśniewski fell • • Bloody Kociołek is the Tricity's executioner • Because of him the children, ladies are dying • Wait bastard, we're gonna get ya • Janek Wiśniewski fell • • Shipyard workers of Gdynia, workers of Gdańsk • Go home, the battle is over • The world heard about this, and said nothing • Janek Wiśniewski fell • • Don't cry mothers, it wasn't for naught • There's black banner above the shipyard • For bread and freedom, and a new Poland • Janek Wiśniewski fell
