Nemzeti dal
Talpra magyar, hí a haza!Itt az idő, most vagy soha!Rabok legyünk vagy szabadok?Ez a kérdés, válasszatok! –A magyarok istenéreEsküszünk,Esküszünk, hogy rabok továbbNem leszünk!

Petőfi on the steps of the National Museum
31 July 1849: In the battle of Segesvár on the road to Héjjasfalva, Petőfi was stabbed to death by a Cossack.
• He died on the battlefield, so his dream came true, which he wrote about in one of his poems:
„One thought keeps going round my head:The thought of dying in my bed!...There, where guns resound,Let my corpse be found,There let my young heart drain its blood away,…Let my body beTrodden by cavalryTheir horses blowing, hot with triumph wrungFrom death and leave me broken in the dung.

John the Vailant The blistering sun in the midsummer sky
Beats down on the shepherd boy from on high. No need for the sun to be blazing above, Inside him, the shepherd is burning with love.
With fiery young love his heart is blazing.At the edge of the village his sheep are grazing. Past the edge of the village they’re grazing all over, While he lolls on his sheepskin cloak in the clover.
