| Anthem Lyrics |
Jeszcze Polska nie zgin¸ela, kiedy my žyjemy, co nam obca przemoc wzi¸ela, szabl¸a odbierzemy. Corus: Marsz, marsz D¸abrovski, z ziemi wloskiej do Polski! Za twoim przewodem zl¸anczym Przejdziem Wisl¸e, przejdziem Wart¸e, b¸edziem Polakami. Dal nam przyklad Bonaparte, jak zwyci¸ezac mamy. Corus Jak Czarniecki do Poznania, po szwedzkim zaborze, dla Ojczyny rotowania wrócim si¸e przez morze. Corus Juz tam ojciec do swej Basi mówi zaplakany: "Sluchaj jeno, pono nasi bij¸a w tarabany". Corus

Behind your connection cable I will cross the Vistula, I will cross the Warta, I will be Poles. Bonaparte gave us an example, how to win we have. Corus Like Czarniecki to Poznań, after the Swedish partition, for the homeland of rotation I will return by the sea . Corus The father is already there to his Basia says in tears: "Listen, they say that our men are beating in the tarabany". Corus Another Anthem.........God bless Poland... |
