The Legionnaire's Honour

Battle-hardened fighters returned from the uprising
They buried their banner, there, on the edge of the village
“Poland will be back” my father whispered to me
They took him in the morning, sent him to katorga¹
Just before death itself, my ensign returned
He spoke of freedom, but didn't live to see it
Pain pierced their thoughts, pain of loss of family
Many laughed and sneered at them
 

The times of childhood passed in cold and hunger
We dreamed of Poland during the years of the partitions
High was the price of defiance
(It was) Loneliness in the decadent masses
The prisoners of conscience pushed against the majority
The spirit of independence flew from the prison cells
Among indifference, betrayal, and hate
We marches – the first legionnaires
 

You call for me, Poland, yet I can not hear
Over the grave, the wind sways a dry leaf
Your words flow, setting hearts on fire
You have one less marksman in your troop
There, where is my wife and our two children
The last thought flows, flows to her
To my daughter and my son
The final letter has arrived, it is a sad time
 

Under his uniform, the soldier carried his father's words
“Never stop, Poland will be once more”
The retrieved banner, though torn in battle
Led the lost to the torturer's earthworks
In a series of battles his glory rose
The commander's order didn't let him sleep
The legionnaire's honour is victory in battle
So they went to win, capturing the earthworks
 

The invaders looked on with a cynical smile
Looked at flaming spirits, the power of youth
It fed the flame, the light of many sacrifices
He who loved this land, put his fate on the line
Alone against all, a spark in the dark
We kept to out will, the testament of our ancestors
That was fulfilled in November²
When the dream became reality, in this desired day
