Elbląg [ˈɛlblɔŋk] ( listen) (German: Elbing ( listen)) is a city in northern Poland with 127,892 inhabitants (2006). It is the capital of Elbląg County and has been assigned to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship since 1999. Before then it was the capital of Elbląg Voivodeship (1975–1998) and a county seat in Gdańsk Voivodeship (1945–1975). The city is a port on the river Elbląg which flows into the Vistula Lagoon about 10 km to the north, thus giving the city access to the Baltic Sea via the Russian-controlled Strait of Baltiysk.
It was first mentioned as "Ilfing" in The Voyages of Ohthere and Wulfstan which was written in Anglo-Saxon in King Alfred's reign using information from a Viking who had visited the area.
During the Middle Ages, the Old Prussian settlement of Truso was located at Lake Drużno near the current site of Elbląg in historical Pogesania; the settlement burned down in the 10th century. The Teutonic Knights conquered the region and the inhabitants dispersed in the process. The Teutonic Order built a castle and founded Elbing at the lake with a population mostly from Lübeck; today the much smaller lake does not reach the city any more. After the defeat of the Teutonic Knights and the destruction of the castle by the inhabitants, the city successively was under the sovereignty of the Polish crown (1466), the Kingdom of Prussia (1772), and Germany (1871). Elbing was heavily damaged in World War II, its German citizens were expelled upon the war's end. The city became part of Poland in 1945 and was repopulated with Polish citizens.

I try to make you understand but you don't
Listen to the sound of my voice
'Cos you say that I am old school
Don't mean I don't knw what's right or wrong
All the values mama taught you, you don't cherish anymore
I just wonder what's the culture in the place where you belong
Girl you're beautiful
You touch my body and soul
Though some other guys are tripping
Girl you know what I need
CHORUS
Omo to ko nile to gbeko ni mo fefe sile
Eese sisi ti o mebeta, ti o mofero
Omo ti mafe sile gbodo le ba mi tole
Olobe loloko, oniwa loloko
VERSE 2
She tried to make me fall in love but you know
I wouldn't fall in love with a gurl
Who's so rude and very dirty
She wont make me happy, you know
All the values mama taught her, she don't cherish anymore
I just wonder what's the culture in the place where you belong
If her man aint spending money, she wont love him anymore
Said she's willing to goo
I said girl hit the road
When I heard she's getting married I just laughed and said
CHORUS
Omo to ko nile to gbeko ni mo fefe sile
Eese sisi ti o mebeta, ti o mofero
Omo ti mafe sile gbodo le ba mi tole
Olobe loloko, oniwa loloko
