by Sándor Petőfi (1823 - 1849)
Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Mi bűvös‑bájos hang...
Language: Hungarian (Magyar) 
Mi bűvös-bájos hang?
Völgyben csendült meg ünnep-est harangja?
Mely a buzgó falut
Imádkozásra szentegyházba vonja;

Vagy lelkem álmiban
Cseng édesbús emléke a lyánykának?
Ki szép és ifju volt
S kinek sírjára könnyeim folyának.

Confirmed with Petőfi Sándor, Összes Költeményei, Budapest, Az Athenaeum Irodalmi És Nyomdai R.-Társulat Kiadása

Horch, welch ein Zauberton
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Hungarian (Magyar) 
Horch welch ein Zauberton
Verklingen wohl im Tal die Abendglocken
Die das andächtige Volk
hin zum Gebete in die Kirche locken

Wie oder klingt in mir
nur die Erinnerung
an die vielgeliebte die in der Jugend Blüt'
mit ihrem Tode mich so tief betrübte
