Their national anthem is a prayer to God. It has many verses like the US anthem which are almost never sung also like the US one but this is the english translation of the usually sung first verse.
O God, bless the nation of Hungary
With your grace and bounty
Extend over it your guarding arm
During strife with its enemies
Long torn by ill fate
Bring upon it a time of relief
This nation has suffered for all sins
Of the past and of the future!
Thanks for that. Really refreshing to learn about a country that has sensible people and leaders. They went through a lot in the revolution of 1956 and hopefully the people remain sensible.
I have inlaws who got out long before the revolution, made it to New Jersey, New York and Canada and eventually to
California. They were listed on the ships manifests as “Bohemian” and I always told them, “I knew you were all Bohemians.”
