Like the smile of the beloved girl
Like the gust of spring waking up
Like the tweet of the swallows in the morning
The unknown youthful feelings
Like the dew shining on the grass
The call of love that is being born
The sound of this song makes the heart so happy
The song about my Warsaw
Walking carefree,
I would like to find the trace of my strolls
To walk Marszałkowska Street aimlessly
To look at the Vistula river at the bridge
To go to the Alleys by the tram 9
To get interwoven with the crowd at Nowy Świat1
And to see you laughing to me Warsaw
Like in the old years of my youth
I know that today you are not like this
That you have already gone through bloody days
That the despair and pain ovewhelm you
That I must cry over you
But I will bring you back as you live in the memory
By the sacrifice of my blood
And believe me, Warsaw, beside the song and tears
I'm ready to sacrifice my life for you
