Bogurodzica ("Mother of God") is a Polish Catholic Hymn dating back to between the 10th-

and 13th-Centuries, which has since then been sung in battle or facing an oppressor.

Bogurodzica dziewica, Bogiem sławiena Maryja,

U twego syna Gospodzina Matko zwolena, Maryja !

Zyszczy nam, spuści nam.

Kyrie eleison !

Twego dziela Krzciciela, bożycze,

Usłysz głosy, napełń myśli człowiecze.

Słysz modlitwę, jąż nosimy,

A dać raczy, jegoż prosimy:

A na świecie zbożny pobyt,

Po żywocie rajski przebyt.

Kyrie eleison !

It is sung in times of Peace, too, to commemorate those times when

The Blessed Virgin Mary has protected Poland,

of which she remains the only Queen.

Virgin, Mother of God, God-famed Mary !

Ask Thy Son, Our Lord, God-named Mary,

To have mercy upon us and hand it over to us !

Kyrie eleison !

Son of God, for Thy Baptist's sake,

Hear the voices, fulfill the pleas we make !

Listen to the Prayer we say,

For what we ask, give us today:

Life on Earth free of vice;

After life: paradise !

Kyrie eleison !

Let us also Pray it for the Polish Bishops.
