National Song (Original Version, Free Chapter, for Readers Using Fangmian Reading and Audiobooks)

Arise, Hungarians, your homeland is calling!

Now is the time to act; it is not too late!

Would you rather be free, or slaves?

Choose for yourselves; that is the question.

Swear by Hungary's God,

We swear,

We swear that we

Will no longer be slaves!

We have lived as slaves until this day,

And even our ancestors were forever slandered;

They had lived free, or died free...

In death, they could not rest in the enslaved earth.

Swear by Hungary's God,

We swear,

We swear that we

Will no longer be slaves!

If anyone prizes his paltry life

More dearly than his homeland,

And refuses to die in battle when his homeland needs him,

Then he is vile, despicable, and shameless!

Swear by Hungary's God,

We swear,

We swear that we

Will no longer be slaves!

A saber shines brighter than iron chains,

And wearing one is glorious indeed;

Yet now we still wear shackles on our hands and feet!

Come forth, our ancient saber!

Swear by Hungary's God,

We swear,

We swear that we

Will no longer be slaves!

Hungary's name shall shine again,

And regain the true glory of its ancient greatness;

Before the fierce battle, we shall swear,

To wash away the shame suffered for centuries!

Swear by Hungary's God,

We swear,

We swear that we

Will no longer be slaves!

Where we fall, a mound shall rise,

And our descendants will weep and bow before it.

They will recite prayers blessing us,

And speak our supremely sacred names.

Swear by Hungary's God,

We swear,

We swear that we

Will no longer be slaves!
