Magyar király‑dal
Language: Hungarian (Magyar) 
Áldott légyen Magyarok királya!
Tündököljön az egész világra!
Országában a jog és igazság 
Hirdesse: itt lakik a szabadság!

Isten után a legszentebb: 
Fölkent koronázott királyunk.
Életünket és vérünket 
Érte készek adni, hő vágyunk! 

Föl! ha vész jő, magyarok, a királyért!
A hazáért, a magyar koronáért!
Kárpátoktól Adria partig
Győző tábor harc-zaja hangzik:
Isten áldd meg fegyverünket!

A király szava szól, keze hív, szeme int,
Ezután sietünk, rohanunk vele mind!
Büszkén zengi ezer ajk, annyi száj:
Éljen, éljen a király, a király!

Ungarisches Königslied
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Hungarian (Magyar) 
Sei gesegnet, König der Magyaren!
Mög' der Erdball deinen Ruhm erfahren!
Künden mögen es von deinem Thron
Wahrheit und Recht, dass hier die Freiheit wohnt!

Heilig bist du uns geweihet,
Glanz die Krone dir verleihet,
unser Blut dir, unser Leben,
freudig sei es hingegeben!

Auf, Magyaren, wenn Gefahr der Krone droht!
Für den König, für den Thron frisch in den Tod!
Siegeshymne, schmett're, dröhne,
von Ost nach West brausend töne:
Segne, Himmel, uns're Waffen!

Der König spricht, er rufet uns mit Wort und Blick.
Nach stürzen wir ihm all, keiner bleibt feig' zurück,
stolz erklinget tausendstimmig der Sang:
Gott erhalte unseren König lang'!
