by Endre Ady (1877 - 1919)

Cseng az élet
Language: Hungarian (Magyar) 
Cseng az élet harangszóval,
Cseng az élet hivogatón,
Cseng az élet, evoé.

Cseng az élet, mindig csengjen,
Cseng az élet, hadd támadjon
Mindig egy víg valaki.

Cseng az élet, hiszen mindegy,
Hogy ki örül az életnek,
Csak örüljön valaki.

Cseng az élet, hadd örüljön
Egy senki, egy senki úr,
Egy víg, szerény valaki.
