Mazurek Dąbrowskiego
"Mazurek Dąbrowskiego" (say: mə-ZUURR-ek-_-dom-BROF-skieh, meaning "Dąbrowski's Mazurka") is the national anthem of Poland. It is commonly called "Poland is Not Yet Lost" in English. The words of the song were written in 1797 by a Polish nobleman named Józef Wybicki. Kazimierz Sikorski rearranged the song's music, though the original composer is not known. It was officially adopted as the country's national anthem in 1927.[1][2][3][4][5]
