NATIONAL ANTHEM

God, bless the Hungarian With abundance, gladness, Graciously protect him when Faced with foes or sadness. Bring for people torn by fate Happy years and plenty:

Sins of future, sins of late,

Both are paid for amply.

By your help our fathers gained High Carpath’s ascendence;

By you have a home obtained Bendeguz’s descendants.

And where far the Tisza flows, Where the Danube rages Seed of Árpád grew and grows Through the changing ages.

But alas, our trespasses Drew your indignation,

From the heaven fierce flashes Thundered on our nation:

Now the Mongol arrows broke On us without warning,

Then we wore the Turkish yoke, Misery and mourning.

Pity the Hungarian O Eternal Master,

Graciously protect him when Dangered by disaster.

Bring for people torn by fate Happy years and plenty:

Sins of future, sins of late,

Both are paid for amply.

Ferenc Kölcsey.
