Neveket akarok hallani [English translation]

I want to hear names, who are the executioners of '56?

Who brought judgment over a clean revolution?

Because a crime is still a crime, blood stains their hands

Don't expect mercy from man nor God

Thousands of victims now rise from their graves,

Murderers and traitors, shall not rest in sacred land!

I want to hear names, I cannot forgive,

For the long prison years, for the dust befallen tears

Because a crime remains a crime, blood stains their hands,

Don't expect mercy from man nor God

Thousands of victims now rise from their graves,

Murderers and traitors, shall not rest in sacred land!

Wittner, Mária:1

"Now the world expects us, out of pure Christian mercy,

to forgive, and move on? Forgive those who trampled children with tanks? Who lead the firing squad?

Forgive the massacres? The many years of cruel oppression?

Forget, that Hungarians were buried faced down?

That for many, emigration was the only option?

Forget the horrors of the torture? The last words of the death sentenced?

Forgive, and history will judge?!

Well no...

No, and no!"

Because a crime remains a crime, blood stains their hands,

Don't expect mercy from man nor God

Thousands of victims now rise from their graves,

Murderers and traitors, shall not rest in sacred land!

Because a crime is still a crime, blood stains their hands

Don't expect mercy from man nor God

Thousands of victims now rise from their graves,

Murderers and traitors, shall not rest in sacred land!
