Seweryn Krajewski - Piosenka o mojej Warszawie

Warsaw, beloved Warsaw!
You are the essence of my dreams, my reveries,
With the joyful crowds like a lava,
With the street noises and buzz.
You call me, you call me, longing
For intoxicating songs and words,
How much I wish to see you again today,
Oh my dreamt-up Warsaw…
Oh my dreamt-up Warsaw,

How I wish I could walk carefree
Through the expanse of your streets:
Aimlessly stroll down Marszałkowska,
Gaze at the Vistula from the bridge;
Ride the number nine to the Avenues,
Blend into Nowy Świat from Krakowskie Przedmieście,
And see, as in the days of my youth,
How you smile at me, Warsaw…
How you smile at me, Warsaw.

I know that today you are not the same,
That you are living through bloody days,
That despair, that pain weighs you down,
That I must weep over you.
But as you live in memory,
I'll restore you with the sacrifice of my blood
And believe me, Warsaw, besides songs and tears
I am ready to dedicate my life to you…
I am ready to dedicate my life to you.
