---------------------
Jeszcze Polska nie zginela,
Kiedy my zyjemy.
Co nam obca przemoc wziela,
Szabla odbierzemy.
REFRAIN :
Marsz, marsz, Dabrowski,
Z ziemi wloskiej do Polski,
Za twoim przewodem
Zlaczym sie z narodem.
Przejdziem Wisle, przejdziem Warte,
Bedziem Polakami,
Dal nam przyklad Bonaparte,
Jak zwyciezac mamy.
Marsz, marsz, Dabrowski...
Jak Czarniecki do Poznania
Po szwedzkim zaborze,
Dla ojczyzny ratowania
Wracal sie przez morze.
Marsz, marsz, Dabrowski...
Mowil ojciec do swej Basi
Caly zaplakany :
"Sluchaj jeno, pono nasi
Bija w tarabany."
Marsz, marsz, Dabrowski....
