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
