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, from burned-down villages, We, from starving cities. For hunger, for blood, for years of tears, The time of vengeance has come!
So chamber your weapon, And aim at the enemy's heart! Footsteps are thundering, the footsteps of millions, The partisan song resounds.
So forward, Guard, march! The world is burning all around us. And the foe shall tremble, and the foe shall perish By the hand of the people’s masses.
