from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Rákóczi kesergője
Language: Hungarian (Magyar) 
Hallgassátok mëg, magyarim, ammit beszélëk,
Tanácsoljátok vitézim, mitévő légyek?
Jön az némët, dúlfúl, pusztít,
Rabol, kerget, mindënt éget, 
Jaj már mit téngyek?

Tanácsoljuk fëlségëdnek, mëg së is vesse,
Aranyait, ezüstjeit rúdban veresse!
Rakassa fël, vitesse el,
Hordassa el, és mënjën el,
Mêre szëmmel lát.

Országomból, az hazámból már ki këll mënni?
Mordságimért, hibáimért engedjetëk ti!
Itt hagylak már, pataki vár,
Nem látlak már, munkácsi vár,
Isten mëgáldjon!

Mëgengedjën az magyarság, czak azt kiáltom:
Édës hazám, mire jutál, csak azt sajnálom.
Némët lësz már a vezérëd,
De tënékëd az nëm vérëd,
Jaj, ki në szánna!
