Good evening, welcome to you very cordially. I greet all the children who have come today (...). Ladies and Gentlemen, hello and, unfortunately, I am sorry to say goodbye. Because I am singing today for the last time (...) for you and I am very happy and at the same time a bit sad about it. I will sing a few songs from my repertoire for you. They will be older, newer ... Of course, there will be some complete novelties. And I'll start with a song that I have a special fondness for, as it reminds me of the beginnings of my stage work. A song with a beautiful title, which can also be a recipe for happiness - Żeby szczęśliwym być ("To be happy"). On 14 March 1980, Jantar was returning to Warsaw from New York by LOT Polish Airlines Flight 007, when the plane crashed near Okęcie Airport in Warsaw due to uncontained engine failure. Jantar along with the other 86 passengers and crew died in the crash.
