When Poland got partitioned the Poles were scattered around Europe fighting for others independence and some Poles were stationed in Italy at that time.

Their dream was an independet Poland but it would take them 100 years before they would achieve it.

gwrobel:
March, march Dabrowski from Italia's fair lanes"


the chorus is "March March Dabrowski, from Italy to Poland
under your command, we will reunite with our nation"

The song was written at a time when Poland was fighting for its independence.
Dabrowski was a general in the Polish legion in Italy, who were fighting along side napoleon's French revolutionary army. It was basically an inspirational army song.
