1584-682: The Italian campaigns of the French Revolutionary Wars . The song expressed the idea that the nation of Poland, despite lacking an independent state of their own, had not disappeared as long as the Polish people endured and fought in its name. Following the declaration of independence of the Second Polish Republic in 1918, the song became its de facto national anthem, and was officially adopted in 1927. It also inspired similar songs by other peoples struggling for independence during

1656-503: The Russian Empire , public performance of the song often ended with police intervention. When Poland re-emerged as an independent state after World War I in 1918, it had to make a decision about its national symbols.

1872-466: The mazurkas of Frédéric Chopin . The composer of " Mazurek Dąbrowskiego " is not known. The melody is most probably Wybicki's adaptation of a folk tune that had already been popular during the second half of the 18th century. The composition used to be erroneously attributed to Michał Kleofas Ogiński who was known to have written a march for Dąbrowski's legions. Several historians confused Ogiński's " Marche pour les Légions polonaises " ('March for

Its initial purpose was to raise the morale of Jan Henryk Dąbrowski 's Polish Legions that served with Napoleon Bonaparte in

2088-467: The "old Dąbrowski's Mazurka" once again. Music boxes and musical clocks playing the melody of Poland Is Not Yet Lost belonged to popular patriotic paraphernalia of that time. The song appears in the epic poem again when Jankiel, a Jewish dulcimerist and ardent Polish patriot, plays the mazurka in the presence of General Dąbrowski himself. With Napoleon's defeat and the Congress of Vienna in 1815 came

On 6 November 1806, both generals arrived in Poznań , enthusiastically greeted by locals singing "Poland Is Not Yet Lost".

2736-508: The Polish anthem for inspiration. Back in Poland, however, especially in the parts under Russian and Prussian rule, it was becoming increasingly risky to sing the anthem in public. Polish patriotic songs were banned in Prussia in 1850; between 1873 and 1911, German courts passed 44 sentences for singing such songs, 20 of which were specifically for singing "Poland Is Not Yet Lost". When Poland was part of

2808-443: The Polish anthem is a lively and rhythmical mazurka . Mazurka as a musical form derives from the stylization of traditional melodies for the folk dances of Mazovia , a region in central Poland.

Considered one of Poland's national dances in pre-partition times, it owes its popularity in 19th-century Western European ballrooms to

Wybicki may have even hoped for Kościuszko to arrive in Italy and personally lead the Legions which might explain why the chorus "March, march, Dąbrowski" is not repeated after the last stanza. At that time Wybicki was not yet aware that Kościuszko had already returned to Philadelphia . The song became popular in Poland as soon as late 1797 and quickly became an object of variations and modifications. A variant from 1798 introduced some stylistic changes, which have since become standard, such as replacing nie umarła ('not dead') with nie zginęła ('not perished') or do Polski z ziemi włoski ('to Poland from

3384-599: The essence of a nation can prolong the existence of their country regardless of its political circumstances and may even strive to make it real again..." The song also includes a call to arms and expresses the hope that, under General Dąbrowski's command, the legionaries would rejoin their nation and retrieve "what the alien force has seized" through armed struggle.
