Rákóczi nótát (Rákóczi Türküsü)


Jaj, régi szép magyar nép
Az ellenség téged miképp szaggat s tép
Mire jutott állapotod, romrandó cserrép.
Magyar náp !
De a sasnak körme között fonnyadsz, mint a lép.
Szegény magyar nép, mikor lész már ép,
Megrontatál mint csrép.
Jaj, hát szegény magyar nemzet jóra mikor lép ?

Jaj, Rákóczi, Bercsény, magyarok élö vezére, Bezerédj
Nemzetünknek hirszerzöi, fényes csilagi.
Az ellenség mindenfelöl öket emeszti, üzi, kergeti,
Közinkben sem ereszti.
Jaj, hát szengény nemzetünket miképpen veszti !.

• Pros:Long Live Hungary and Hungarians !
• In a nutshell:Turks are your brothers.
