Lyrics

My ze spalonych wsi, My z głodujących miast. Za głód,za krew, za lata łez Już zemsty nadszedł czas! Więc zarepetuj broń I w serce wroga mierz! Dudni już krok, milionów krok, Brzmi partyzancki śpiew. Więc naprzód, Gwardio, marsz! Świat płonie wokół nas. I zadrży wróg, i zginie wróg Z ręki ludowych mas.

We're from the burned down villages, We're from the starving towns. For the hunger, for the blood, For the years of tears Now is the time of vengeance So reload your gun And aim it at the heart of the enemy! The footsteps are rumbling, The footsteps of millions The partisan song is sung. And so march forward, Guard! The world around us is burning. And the enemy shall tremble, And the enemy shall die By the hand of the working folk.
