Isten, áldd meg
a magyart
Jó kedvvel, bôséggel,
Nyújts feléje védô kart,
Ha küzd ellenséggel;
Balsors, akit
régen tép,
Hozz rá víg esztendôt,
Megbûnhôdte már e nép
A múltat s
jövendôt!
Lyrics: Ferenc
Kölcsey (1823)
Music: Ferenc Erkel (1845)
God bless the
Hungarian,
With good cheer, and abundance,
Extend to him a shielding arm,
If he battles with the enemy;
Torn by ill fate for
too long,
Bring onto him joyful year,
These people have expiated,
The past and the future!
Translation: Robert
Szabados, Toronto February 15, 1999
