[0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Yb9BtlDtVZvP/en/november-11-polish-pride-and-poland-s-contributions-to-the-world?t=3) Be proud, be happy, so that the spirit of November 11 stays with you all year long.

[0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Yb9BtlDtVZvP/en/november-11-polish-pride-and-poland-s-contributions-to-the-world?t=8) Uh, keep saying: our history, our achievements, everything that—what makes up our—our identity, is our pride.

[0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Yb9BtlDtVZvP/en/november-11-polish-pride-and-poland-s-contributions-to-the-world?t=16) Don't be ashamed. Walk into the salons of Europe and the world with your heads held high.

[0:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Yb9BtlDtVZvP/en/november-11-polish-pride-and-poland-s-contributions-to-the-world?t=21) We are Poles. We are those who shared and share an identity with John Paul II, with Maria Curie-Skłodowska, with Copernicus, with Piłsudski, with many others, with Chopin.

[0:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Yb9BtlDtVZvP/en/november-11-polish-pride-and-poland-s-contributions-to-the-world?t=33) We are Poles. We are a nation that has given the world so much.

[0:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Yb9BtlDtVZvP/en/november-11-polish-pride-and-poland-s-contributions-to-the-world?t=37) Be proud, lift your chin, and smile at the world and proudly say what has been repeated for a thousand years, about Christianity in Poland, about how we contributed a great deal to world civilization, yeah, in world history.

[0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Yb9BtlDtVZvP/en/november-11-polish-pride-and-poland-s-contributions-to-the-world?t=52) So be proud. This may sound grandiose, but when we look at the whole history of what Poles have contributed to the world, to humanity, it is great, and we shouldn't be ashamed of these words, especially on November 11.

[1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Yb9BtlDtVZvP/en/november-11-polish-pride-and-poland-s-contributions-to-the-world?t=65) But I think that all year round we should speak boldly and use grand, lofty words, because we are great—great, and Poland is great because of its history, but also its future.
