Mazurek Dąbrowskiego

national anthem of Poland

"Mazurek Dąbrowskiego" (say: mə-ZUURR-ek dom-brof-SKIEH-goh, meaning "Dąbrowski's Mazurka") is the national anthem of Poland. It is commonly called "Poland is Not Yet Lost" in English. The words of the song were written in 1797 by a Polish nobleman named Józef Wybicki. Kazimierz Sikorski rearranged the song's music, though the original composer is not known. It was officially adopted as the country's national anthem in 1927.[1][2][3][4][5]

Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła,
Kiedy my żyjemy.
Co nam obca przemoc wzięła,
Szablą odbierzemy.

Refren:
𝄆 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.

Refren

Jak Czarniecki do Poznania
Po szwedzkim zaborze,
Dla ojczyzny ratowania
Wrócim się przez morze.

Refren

Już tam ojciec do swej Basi
Mówi zapłakany –
Słuchaj jeno, pono nasi
Biją w tarabany.

Poland has not yet succumbed.
As long as we remain,
What the foe by force has seized,
Sword in hand we'll gain.

Refrain:
𝄆 March! March, Dombrowski!
March from Italy to Poland!
Under your command
We shall reach our land. 𝄇

Cross the Vistula and Warta
And Poles we shall be;
We've been shown by Bonaparte
Ways to victory.

Refrain

As Czarniecki Poznan town regains,
Fighting with the Swede,
To free our fatherland from chains.
We shall return by sea.

Refrain

And the father to Basia,
Then says and crying:
"Listen to that, it's our boys
playing the drums!"

The German nor the Muscovite will settle
When, with a backsword in hand,
"Concord" be everyone's watchword
And so be our fatherland.

And the father to Basia,
Then says and crying:
"Listen to that, it's our boys
playing the drums!"

Refrain

All exclaim in unison,
"Enough of this captivity!"
We've got the scythes of Racławice,
Kościuszko, if God wills.
