Lyrics
Hungarian originalHungarian Cyrillic script(unofficial)Poetic, singable English version(not a literal translation of the original)Indulj az útra és vissza ne nézz!
Múltad a fájó bús ezer év.
Rád ragyog végre a fényteli nap.
Boldogan, vígan mondd hát a dalt!

Refrén:
𝄆 Április négyről szóljon az ének,
Felszabadulva zengje a nép.
Érc torkok harsogva zúgják a szélnek
Felszabadítók hősi nevét! 𝄇

Dörgött az ágyú és zúgott a gép!
Vérzett a föld és zengett az ég.
Győzött a szovjetek hős serege.
Századok könnyét így mosta le.

Му́лтад а фа́јо́ бу́ш езер е́в.
Ра́д рађог ве́гре а фе́њтели нап.
Болдоган, ви́ган мондд ха́т а далт!

Рефре́н:
𝄆 А́прилиш не́ђрө́л со́лјон аз е́нек,
Фелсабадулва зенгје а не́п.

Рефре́нOff to the future, never looking back,
Thy history of misery and wrack.
And yet now the Sun is shining o'er Thee,
So may we chant our song with glee.

Chorus:
𝄆 Let us sing about Liberation Day,
Overjoyed, we are now free—hooray!
Let our throats cleave the air as we all clamour,
For the name of our liberator! 𝄇

Cannons roared and artillery shrieked,
Pierced our ground and our souls piqued.
Yet the Soviets saved us from harm's way,
And now hatred has faded away.
