War Song

The trumpets blare, drums beat the call:
Our boys are off to fight or fall;

Forward!
The bullets whistle, sabres clash
And rouse the Magyar spirit rash.

Forward!

May freedom's flag wave on the hight,
That all the world behold the sight!

Forward!
Unfurl the flag! the world shall see
The proud inscription, "Liberty!"

Forward!

The world the Magyar valor knows,
He bravely faces all his foes:
Forward!
A virtue God the Magyar gave;
He made his nature truly brave:
Forward!

Upon a ,gory ground I tread,

A comrade's blood has made it red:

Forward!
A hero he! Can I be less?
Boldly onward let me press:

Forward!

If our blood this earth must blot,
If even to die here be our lot:

Forward!
For thee our lives we freely give,
Dear Fatherland, that thou shalt live!

Forward!
