UNKARIN VAPAUS | FREEDOM FOR HUNGARY |
| |
Oi, Unkari sun vapautes' on jäänyt aikain taa | Alas!, Hungary, thy Freedom had got lost in time, |
sun loistos häipyi usvaan hämärään | Thy splendour seemed to shine no more. |
Sua idän tähden raskas kahle painaa, rasittaa | Oppressed by the hard slavery chains of the Eastern Star, |
sun kansas' syömmis' kyyneleen mä nään | I can see tears filling the eyes of thy people. |
Sä tahdoit olla veljeskansa, aina vapaa maa | Brotherly people! Always didst thou long for liberty, |
siks' toivo, oota aikaa parempaa | Lose not thy Hope, and wait for better times. |
| |
Mä muistan sinut Budapest, säveles' jousien | I remember you, Budapest, and the tune from your fiddle strings, |
en sua koskaan unhoita, Unkarin neitonen | And I shall never forget you, Hungarian girl. |
Ei kaiu soitto priimaksen, ei sävel csárdáksen | The band director plays no more, the czardas is no more to be heard, |
vain vaikerrus soi pustan viulujen | Only the sad melody of the Puszta fiddle can be heard, now. |
Sä usko, luota tulevaiseen, laulun, soiton maa | Believe and trust in the future, country of songs and music, |
sä kerran vielä vapaa olla saat | One day the time of your Freedom will be back. |
| |
Vain Luojaas luota, Unkari, Hän antaa vapauden | Only trust in your God, Magyar, He will bring you Freedom, |
iloa soi taas viulusi, sävelet csárdáksen | And again your fiddle will play joyfully the czardas tune! |
Näät pustan tytön tanssivan ja riemastut sä, kun | You will see the Puszta girl dancing, and rejoice |
näät nousevan tuon kansan sorretun | When the oppressed people will rise. |
Ja kerran oot sä kuuleva tuon hymnin Petőfin | And if you hear again Petőfi's song, |
on silloin vapaa kansa Unkarin | The Hungarian people will again be free. |
| |
Ja kerran oot sä kuuleva tuon hymnin Petőfin | And if you hear again Petőfi's song, |
on silloin vapaa kansa Unkarin | The Hungarian people will again be free. |
