The song was written as a marching song for Polish Legions in Italy. This troop consisted of patriotic Poles who were driven out of Polish lands by occupying powers (Prussia, Russia and Austro-Hungary). Those people converged on France and joined into military formations called Polish Legions. Their goal was to reclaim Polish independence. To do that they joined Napoleon armies as he was sympathetic to the Polish cause (after all Napoleon was fighting the same countries that partitioned Poland and the enemy of my enemy is my friend). The words to the song were written during a campaign of the Napoleon against Italy in which the Poles were fighting (hence Polish Legions in Italy and hence why the song tells about going from Italy to Poland). The song was meant to uplift the soldiers spirit, raise moral, give them hope in victory and help them endure the hardships of those trying times. It quickly became very popular also in Poland proper as it was giving people hope that in the bleak times there is still hope as there are Polish soldiers abroad who are fighting for the country.

The reference to Bonaparte is not about the Napoleonic Code. It pertains to his military skill. While Napoleon is traditionally seen and enemy and opressor in the UK , for Poles he's the liberator and historic ally, opposing both Russia and German states of the time.

The reference to Napoleon Bonaparte is for how he taught them the Polish legions how to fight and win, not that he helped in ths revolutions but there were Polish legions in Italy plus during this time Dąbrowski and co. remade the country of Poland which was killed in 1795, it was called the Duchy of Warsaw.

To naprawdę miłe z twojej strony i muszę przyznać, że wcale się tego nie spodziewałem, a ponadto zanim zabiorę się za tłumaczenie tego filmu na język polski, z pewnością będę miał o wiele więcej osób do zadawania pytań, mam nawet świetny przyjaciółka, która jest Polką i mogłaby pełnić rolę mojego tłumacza. Biorę udział w nabożeństwie żałobnym w moim miejscu pracy.

The titles is pronounced Mazurek Donbrovskiego, and the translation is Dąbrowski's march, the line it's refering to is: "Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła Póki my żyjemy" , in the song, not the title.

Mazurek does not mean "march", though, it's a traditional dance.

It's not from WWII (i tam też były inne takie same zeczy np. Wieluń, Wołyń, Katyń (nasze serca są z tobą)), it's from the period of the partitions when even speaking polish was punishable by death.

It's more history than propaganda (although currently true), Poland was a country before 1795, it's lands were taken by Russia, Prussia and Austria and throughout history the Polish people never stopped staging uprisings and never backed down from their country being a country again, hence why

First thing which falls is national army, the goverment and everything else. But what's left is partisians and that's what happened in Poland during WW2. That's why we had Warsaw Uprising in 1944. People will never let go. People will fight to the last drop of blood. Even if formal structures of country has fallen long time ago.
