National Song

Get up Hungarian, the country is calling you!
This is the right time, now or never!
Will we be slaves or free?
This is the question, choose one!

We are swearing
By the Hungarian’s God
We are swearing on
We won’t be slaves anymore.

We were slaves until this time,
Our forefathers were damned,
Those who lived and died free
They can’t lie in servant soil.

We are swearing
By the Hungarian’s God
We are swearing on
We won’t be slaves anymore.

Fugitive, derelict man,
Who doesn’t dare to die now, if must,
Whose paltry life is worth much
Than the honour of the country.

We are swearing
By the Hungarian’s God
We are swearing on
We won’t be slaves anymore.

The sword is brighter than the chains,
It adorns arms,
And we wear chains still!
Let us have our old sword!

We are swearing
By the Hungarian’s God
We are swearing on
We won’t be slaves anymore.

The Hungarian name will be nice again,
Worthy of his old, great fame,
We will wash down the shame
Which has been here by the centuries.

We are swearing
By the Hungarian’s God
We are swearing on
We won’t be slaves anymore.

Where our graves are lying
Our grandchildren fall on knees
And they list our holy names
By blessing prayer.

We are swearing
By the Hungarian’s God
We are swearing on
We won’t be slaves anymore.

Many thanks to Dóra Zakor for sending this translation!

Nemzeti Dal
(Hungarian)

Talpra magyar, hi a haza!
Itt az ido, most vagy soha!
Rabok legyünk, vagy szabadok?
Ez a kérdés, válasszatok!
A magyarok istenére
Esküszünk,
Esküszünk, hogy rabok tovább
Nem leszünk!

Rabok voltunk mostanáig,
Kárhozottak osapáink,
Kik szabadon éltek-haltak,
Szolgaföldben nem nyughatnak.
A magyarok istenére
Esküszünk,
Esküszünk, hogy rabok tovább
Nem leszünk!

Sehonnai bitang ember,
Ki most, ha kell, halni nem mer,
Kinek drágább rongy élete,
Mint a haza becsülete.
A magyarok istenére
Esküszünk,
Esküszünk, hogy rabok tovább
Nem leszünk!

Fényesebb a láncnál a kard,
Jobban ékesiti a kart,
És mi mégis lancot hordtunk!
Ide veled, régi kardunk!
A magyarok istenére
Esküszünk,
Esküszünk, hogy rabok tovább
Nem leszünk!

A magyar név megint szép lesz,
Méltó régi, nagy híréhez;
Mit rákentek a századok,
Lemossuk a gyalázatot!
A magyarok istenére
Esküszünk,
Esküszünk, hogy rabok tovább
Nem leszünk!

Hol sírjaink domborulnak,
Unokáink leborulnak,
Es áldó imádság mellett
Mondják el szent neveinket.
A magyarok istenére
Esküszünk,
Esküszünk, hogy rabok tovább
Nem leszünk!
