Somewhere shepherd fires are burning
And the flames stretch into the sky
The fog of forgetting
Slowly washes away the past
But while the truth of tales
Spread mouth to mouth
Then there's still hope that
The Hungarian will keep his homeland
Us, who sprouted from the same stem
Are now scatteredall over
And brother to brother
We have become each other's wolves
Only the world of legends
Still guards in itself
The promise of a better future
In the wake of darkness
Broken hearts humm
The melody of an ancient song
And the drown the crumbs of bitter sorrow
In sweet wine
And like heavy raindrops
The tears roll down
They are mourning the past
Glorious pride
But long as God keeps us alive
And in his tongue the nation lives on
Until then a thousand roots connect
Every Hungarian soul here
Like the stars above us
We were born to be free
And we concieve the militant offspring
Of fearless old men
