AnthemDąbrowski’s Mazurka or “Poland is not yet
lost”
Current official lyricsJeszcze Polska nie zginęła,Kiedy my żyjemy.Co nam obca przemoc wzięła,Szablą odbierzemy.
Marsz, marsz, Dąbrowski, Z ziemi włoskiej do Polski. Za twoim przewodem Złączym się z narodem. Przejdziem Wisłę, przejdziem Wartę,
Będziem Polakami.Dał nam przykład Bonaparte,Jak zwyciężać mamy.
Marsz, marsz... Jak Czarniecki do Poznania
Po szwedzkim zaborze,Dla ojczyzny ratowaniaWrócim się przez morze.
Marsz, marsz... Już tam ojciec do swej Basi
Mówi zapłakanySłuchaj jeno, pono nasiBiją w tarabany.
Marsz, marsz...
English translationPoland has not perished yetSo long as we still liveThat which alien force has seizedWe at sabrepoint shall retrieve
March, march, Dąbrowski From Italy to Poland Let us now rejoin the nation Under thy command Cross the Vistula and Warta
And Poles we shall beWe've been shown by BonaparteWays to victory
March, march... Like Czarniecki Poznań regains
Fighting with the Swede,To free our fatherland from chainsWe shall return by sea
March, march... Father, in tears
Says to his BasiaJust listen, it seems that our peopleAre beating the drums
March, march...
