Colors of the flag consisting of two horizontal stripes: red and white are the color reproduction of the national emblem, which is a white eagle on a red field.

Polish national emblem

Polski hymn narodowy - Mazurek Dąbrowskiego

Polish national anthem  - Mazurek Dąbrowskiego

(Polish)
Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła,
Kiedy my żyjemy.
Co nam obca przemoc wzięła,
Szablą odbierzemy.

Marsz, marsz, Dąbrowski,
Z ziemi włoskiej do Polski.
Za twoim przewodem
Złączym się z narodem.

Przejdziem Wisłę, przejdziem Wartę,
Będziem Polakami.
Dał nam przykład Bonaparte,
Jak zwyciężać mamy.

Marsz, marsz, Dąbrowski...

Jak Czarniecki do Poznania
Po szwedzkim zaborze,
Dla ojczyzny ratowania
Wrócim się przez morze.

Marsz, marsz, Dąbrowski...

Już tam ojciec do swej Basi
Mówi zapłakany –
Słuchaj jeno, pono nasi
Biją w tarabany.

Marsz, marsz, Dąbrowski...

(Eglish)
Poland has not yet perished,
So long as we still live.
What the foreign force has taken from us,
We shall retrieve with a sabre.

March, march, Dąbrowski,
From the Italian land to Poland.
Under your command
We shall rejoin the nation.

We'll cross the Vistula
We'll cross the Warta,
We shall be Poles.
Bonaparte has given us the example
Of how we should prevail.

March, march, Dąbrowski,
From the Italian land to Poland.
Under your command
We shall rejoin the nation.

Like Czarniecki to Poznań
After the Swedish occupation,
To save our homeland,
We shall return across the sea.

March, march, Dąbrowski,
From the Italian land to Poland.
Under your command
We shall rejoin the nation.

A father, in tears,
Says to his Basia
Listen, our boys are said
To be beating the tarabans.

March, march, Dąbrowski,
From the Italian land to Poland.
Under your command
We shall rejoin the nation.

Hello!

May is a moth full of feriates in Mexico (and in Poland as you can see in the last post) I'll show you all of them here:

• May 1st: Día del Trabajo- Labors Day: This day the workers don't work, it's a day for rest (Well in the most of the cases) Celebrate and recognize the workers and there are events, some parades in the city. The article 123 of the mexican constitution defends some rights of the workers.

• May 5th: Batalla de Puebla- Puebla's Battle. Mexico won the battle versus France in May 5th of 1862, France was trying invade Mexico, but they couldn't win. The Mexico's army was diriged by Ignacio Zarágoza, whe he won the battle, said: "Las armas nacionales se han cubierto de gloria" to Benito Juarez who was the president. In USA this day is celebrated, one day asked to somebody why and I discovered they thought this day is the day of our independency, isn't it...

• May 10th: Día de las Madres- Mother's day. This day is dedicated to the moms, there are events and generally it's a family day is common go to the grandmother house and all the family eat a special plate, dad, sons and daughters give presents to mothers, It's a cute day!

May in Poland

Coming up May, I would like to take this opportunity exploited very important holidays in May in Poland.

Beginning of May is traditionally a period of celebrations to commemorate the most important events and symbols that have gone down in the history of Polish. It should cultivate national traditions and expose the public symbols of our country.

Have fun getting to know the traditions of my country!

1st May - Święto Pracy, Labour Day
International Labour Day is celebrated annually on May 1 to commemorate and recognize the achievements of the working class. In Poland, this day is a public event a statutory holiday.

2nd May - Dzień Flagi, Flag Day
There are two reasons historical, which established Flag Day was May 2. First, it was on this day conquering Berlin Polish soldiers of the 1st Division of the Kosciuszko hung the flag on the column of victory in the Tiergarten in Berlin. Secondly, in times of PRL, May 2, citizens have a warrant to remove the flags, so they were not posted when forbidden by the festival on May 3.
This holiday is celebrated by organizing various types of events. For example, in Świnoujscie, in 2011. Over 600 people gathered on the beach to the held white or red cards to create a Polish flag. The Feast is to raise awareness of Poles of their identity. On this day in the windows we hang flags.

3rd May - Święto Konstytucji, Feast of the Constitution

On this day we celebrate the enactment of Poland's first Constitution (first in Europe and second in the world after the United States in 1787!). The Constitution was passed by which was convened in October 1788.  On 3 May we celebrate not only the Constitution Day May 3, it is also the Feast of Matki Bożej Królowej Polski. This day is very dignified celebrated in Poland.
