For our and your freedom – a shortened version of the inscription on a banner from the demonstration honoring the Decembrists in Warsaw on January 25, 1831, attributed to Joachim Lelewel.

In its full form, it read: "In the name of God, for our and your freedom."

During the November Uprising, it was written on banners in Polish and Russian, on both sides, with a red cross on a white background. It was intended to convey the goal of the uprising, which the insurgents intended to direct not against the Russians, but against tsarist despotism.

The slogan reappeared on the banners of Polish units fighting for the freedom of Hungary and Italy, symbolizing the common struggle to liberate nations from slavery.

During World War II, this motto took on particular significance, symbolizing the commitment of Poles to fighting on all fronts in defense of Poland's sovereignty, but also the freedom of other nations:

The Polish Armed Forces in the West fought alongside the Allies, guided by this motto. An example is the 1st Armored Division under General Stanisław Maczek, whose soldiers demonstrated their dedication to this ideal.

At the Polish War Cemetery at Monte Cassino, on the obelisk commemorating the fallen soldiers of the 3rd Carpathian Rifle Division, the inscription reads: "...FOR YOUR AND OUR FREEDOM, WE, POLISH SOLDIERS, GAVE OUR SPIRIT TO GOD, OUR BODY TO THE SOIL OF ITALIAN COUNTY, AND OUR HEARTS TO POLAND..."

This slogan, with its long history, is a living symbol of the Polish quest for freedom, which extended beyond the borders of its own country, combining the fight for Poland's independence with the fight for universal values, solidarity and freedom of other nations.

For your freedom and for ours

Verse 1
Across the fields where shadows fall,
We hear the echoes of the call.
Not just for us the banners rise,
But for all hearts beneath the skies.
Through broken chains and weary lands,
We march as one with open hands.

Pre-Chorus
For every soul denied the sun,
We lift the flame that must go on.

Chorus
For your freedom and for ours,
We walk the night, we brave the stars.
Through storm and sorrow, hope endures—
Your fight is mine, and mine is yours.
Let courage ring from near to far,
For your freedom and for ours.

Verse 2
We know the weight that silence brings,
The price of truth, the cost of kings.
Yet still we rise, though wounds remain,
For shared tomorrow forged from pain.
No border drawn, no tyrant’s claim
Can hold the light or dim its flame.

Pre-Chorus
For every voice they try to still,
We stand as shields of iron will.

Chorus
For your freedom and for ours,
We walk the night, we brave the stars.
Through storm and sorrow, hope endures—
Your fight is mine, and mine is yours.
Let courage ring from near to far,
For your freedom and for ours.

Bridge
And if we fall, remember then—
We fought as familly, not just as men.
For freedom shared is freedom true,
A fire carried soul to soul, from me to you.

Final Chorus
For your freedom and for ours,
We walk the night, we brave the stars.
In darkest hour, the oath resounds—
Our hearts are bound by common ground.
Let courage rise, defy the scars,
For your freedom and for ours.
