Hello, May dusk (pol. Witaj, majowa jutrzenko) also known as Mazurek of May the Third or Lithuanian's Third May – is a song written by Rajnold Suchodolski to commemorate the Constitution of May 3 1791.

Although, some credit Frederic Chopin for the melody, Polish literature historian Roman Kaleta believes it was written by Julian Sabinski. The melody is based off Stanisław Doliwa Starzyński's song 'I hate you, loafers.'

Suchodolski wrote the lyrics during his participation in the November Uprising of 1832 against Tsarist rule. The lyrics recall the Constitution of May 3 1791, the first written constitution in Europe.

The song is performed annually on May 3 during national commemorations of the constitution at Palace Square in Warsaw.

Following the failure of the Polish insurgents in the November Uprising, Richard Wagner composed an overture 'Polonia', which inspires parts of it.
