Heimat

Leb wohl du schönes Ungarland
Du bist jetzt unser Untergang
Unsern Ahnen hast gegeben
ein verwüstet Land zu pflegen.
Und für ihre Müh' und Plag'
Gibst Du uns den Bettelstab.

Submitted by Anne Dreer
(published in 1940 DS calendar)

 
Heimat

Farewell, fair land of Hungary,

you've now become our ruin.
You gave our ancestors
a devastated land to tend,
and for their toil and pain
you reward us with the beggar's staff.
