Kádár István

Zoltán Kodály

Panonia prepared for great destruction.

The waves of the sea would cease to exist;

They would pay the price for their sins with remorse.

The heros would give their last measure of sacrifice.

Kadar lifted his eyes to the sky

And prayed, "Jesus my lord, help me,

We haven't got enough soldiers,

And no sign of any immediate help."

To the flag-bearer he shouts:

"My son, take the flag by another route-,

so it will be preserved, and not be lost;

Because today I will die for my beloved country.

I will bleed for my poor country;

I will gladly die for my dear country;

I will not have any remorse for my sacrifice

Because Jesus will reward me for it."
