Szárnyaszegett [English translation]

Kossuth, Lajos 1 (1890): 2

With fervent/eager prayer I ask the God of the Hungarians to make triumphant the everlasting Szózat 3 (The Word), which from Hungaria's lips resounds to the Hungarian nation. Let it be so. Amen!

KÁRPÁTIA:

We live in such times, that a spark is enough,

And the whole country is covered in a sea of flames (lit. flame-ocean)

Let's plant the flag, so everyone can see,

We will be Kossuth's soldiers once again

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Heey!

Wing-torn, abandoned (orphaned) bird,

Fly, fly, fly high!

No one will lock you in chains/shackles no more/anymore

Need to stand there now, now while one (you) still can,

And cursed is thou who has no Home love (love for the homeland)

Shoulder to shoulder, we stand as one in the battle line,

The cliff no longer erodes/crumbles, 4 it's forged as one

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Heey!

Wing-torn, abandoned (orphaned) bird,

Fly, fly, fly high!

No one will lock you in chains anymore

We live such times, that a single spark is enough,

And the whole country is awash with flames

Let's put up the flag, for all to see,

We will once again be Kossuth's soldiers

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Heey!

Wing-torn, abandoned (orphaned) bird,

Fly, fly, fly high!

No one will lock you in shackles anymore

Need to stand there now, now while you still can,

And curse whom has no love for the homeland

Shoulder to shoulder, we stand as one in the battle line,

The cliff no longer erodes/crumbles, it's forged into one

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Heey!

Wing-torn, orphaned bird,

Fly, fly, fly high!

No one will lock you in shackles no more

Wing-torn, orphaned bird,

Fly, fly, fly high!

No one will lock you in shackles no more
