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 translationBoys from Grabówek, boys from ChyloniaToday the militsiya opened fireBravely we stood, accurately we threwJanek Wiśniewski fellOn a door we carried him along ŚwiętojańskaAgainst the cops, against the tanksBoys, shipyard workers, avange your comradeJanek Wiśniewski fellThe bangers sound, the gas spreadsBlows fall on the workersElderly, children, women are fallingJanek Wiśniewski fellOne is wounded, another killedBlood was spilled at dawn in DecemberIt's the Party shooting at the workersJanek Wiśniewski fellBloody Kociołek is the Tricity's executionerBecause of him the children, ladies are dyingWait bastard, we're gonna get yaJanek Wiśniewski fellShipyard workers of Gdynia, workers of GdańskGo home, the battle is overThe world heard about this, and said nothingJanek Wiśniewski fellDon't cry mothers, it wasn't for naughtThere's black banner above the shipyardFor bread and freedom, and a new PolandJanek Wiśniewski fell
