Anthems Intertwined

Heroes of the sea, noble people,
Brave and immortal nation, Arise today once more
The splendor of Portugal! Amidst the mists of memory,
Oh Fatherland, hear the voice Of your noble forefathers,
That shall lead you to victory!
Poland has not died yet, So long as we still live
That which alien force has seized, We at sabrepoint shall retrieve
March, march, Dabrowski, To Poland from Italy
Under thy command, Let us now rejoin the nation
Like Czarniecki to Poznan, Returned across the sea
To free our fatherland from chains, Fighting with the Swede
To arms, to arms! Over the land, over the sea,
To arms, to arms!To fight for our Fatherland!
Against the cannons, march, march!
Cross the Vistula and Warta, And Poles we shall be
We've been shown by Bonaparte, Ways to victory
Germans, Muscovites will not rest when, backsword in hand
"Concord" will be our watchword, And ours will be the Fatherland
