Lyrics:
Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła,
Kiedy my żyjemy.
Co nam obca przemoc wzięła,
Szablą odbierzemy.
chorus:
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.
Jak Czarniecki do Poznania
Po szwedzkim zaborze,
Dla ojczyzny ratowania
Wrócim się przez morze.
Już tam ojciec do swej Basi
mówi zapłakany:
“Słuchaj jeno, pono nasi
Biją w tarabany.”
Niemiec, Moskal nie osiędzie,
Gdy jąwszy pałasza
Hasłem wszystkich zgoda będzie
I Ojczyzna nasza
Na to wszystkich jedne głosy
Dosyć tej niewoli!
Mamy Racławickie kosy
Kościuszkę, Bóg pozwoli.
Lyrics:
Poland has not yet perished,
So long as we live.
What foreign violence has taken from us,
We will reclaim, sabre in hand.
chorus:
March, march, Dąbrowski,
From the land of Italy to Poland,
Behind your leadership
We will unite as a people.
We'll cross the Vistula, we'll cross the Warta River,
And we shall be Poles,
Bonaparte has shown us
How to be victorious.
As Czarniecki to Poznań
After the Swedish occupation,
To save our country
We will return across the sea.
A father was saying to his (daughter) Basia
With tears in his eyes:
“Listen, now, are those our boys
Beating the drums.”
German, Muscovite won't withstand
When, having taken backsword in hand
Unity will become the watchword of all
and our Fatherland will be ours.
So let us proclaim in unison:
Enough of this bondage!
We have scythes from Racławice
And Kościuszko, God willing.
