My bad advice is even worse in Europe. Over here, we usually have two house wires plus a ground. The ground wire is bare so it's easy to tell it from the others. The other two wires are common(white in the us) and hot(black). Most of the time you can hook a lamp up any which way you please and it will work. At this point I would go find another lamp in your hluse and pull it off the wall to compare.
