Isten ald meg a Magyart
The first line of the Hungarian anthem. My Hungarian father passed away in 1984 so he never saw the freeing of Eastern Europe when the wall fell in 1989. When I visited Hungary in 1996 I sat gazing at the Parliament House across the Danube river and prayed that line. I think God has answered my prayer.
Thanks for that. I had to look up the English translation. What a stunning anthem. https://lyricstranslate.com/en/himnusz-national-anthem-hungary-hymn-rough-centuries-hungarian-people-national-anthem-hungary.html
I have a Hungarian grandfather, but he was long gone before I was born, and I know little of that part of my history. Thank you for sharing a bit of yours.
