      Nemzetek, országok! kik rút kelepcében / Nyögtök a rabságnak kínos kötelében, / S gyászos koporsóba döntő vas-igátok / Nyakatokról eddig le nem rázhatátok;
      Countries still trapped within the snare of servitude, / Nations that groan in pain, by iron bonds subdued, / Who have not shaken off the collar of the slave, / The yoke that drags you down into your wretched grave,
      Peoples and nations! in grimmest captivity / Where men groan in chains of hidebound servility, / Where fetters are binding upon the general / And only thrown off for burial or funeral;
