Four verses of the national anthem are now considered official:

Poland has not yet perished,
So long as we still live.
What the foreign force has taken from us,
We shall with sabre retrieve.

𝄆 March, march, Dąbrowski,
From Italy to Poland.
Under your command
We shall rejoin the nation. 𝄇

We'll cross the Vistula, we'll cross the Warta,
We shall be Polish.
Bonaparte has given us the example
Of how we should prevail.

𝄆 March, march, Dąbrowski,
From Italy to Poland.
Under your command
We shall rejoin the nation. 𝄇

Like Czarniecki to Poznań
After the Swedish annexation,
To save our homeland,
We shall return across the sea.

𝄆 March, march, Dąbrowski,
From Italy to Poland.
Under your command
We shall rejoin the nation. 𝄇

A father, in tears,
Says to his Basia
Listen, our boys are said
To be beating the tarabans.

𝄆 March, march, Dąbrowski,
From Italy to Poland.
Under your command
We shall rejoin the nation. 𝄇
