Ballada wrześniowa [English translation]

We waited so long for this day

With impatient hope in the soul

When without words Comrade Stalin

Moves with the Tobacco pipe arrows on the map

Shout fleeted along the border

And before it ceased Cannons had thundered

With the speed of storm

Red Army ran into Battle

What is that new history?

Surprised Europe will ask

How is that? These are Molotov’s boys

And Ribentropp’s allies

Their entire trail is marked with victory

Banner of Freedom covered the glory

With the heads of polish Owners

They pave entire Ukraine

Podolia falls, Volhynia pays tribute

People joyfully welcome new system

Churches and properties are on fire

And Christ with the bullet in the back of His head

They will sheer their hands on the battlefield

Into the breathtaking mutual fist

Countless children of Soso

Undefeatable Hitler’s litter

Finally Bastard of Versailles is wiped off the maps

Finally Jew and Belarusian are free

No more Polish hand

Will force them to do anything

New freedom “Pravda” Announces to them

The news spreads around entire world like a shot

That since then one banner unites

Star, sickle, hakenkreuz and hammer

History will not forget those days

When Old Continent froze in amazement

And our posterity will celebrate

After 1st of September - 17th

And our posterity will Celebrate

After 1st of September - 17th
