Forward Boys of Budapest
Forward boys from Buda,
Forward boys from Pest,
Students, laborers, operarians
The sun does not rise in the East.
We've been awake during the night
The night of a hundred months, maybe more
Dreaming of the glorious October's dawn,
The dawn of Hungarian youth.
I remember you had a rifle
Bring it to the square, I'm waiting for you,
Hidden among my school books
I'll also take a gun.
Six days, six nights of glory
This victory of us lasted
By the seventh day they arrived
The russians and their tanks.
The tanks crushed our bones,
No one is going to help us.
The world has just watched
On the edge of our ditch.
Girl, don't tell my mother
Don't tell her I'll die tonight
But do tell her I'm going up the moutains
And shall return by the spring
Comrads, we are doomed
Our revolution is lost
Soon we'll be blindfolded
And placed in front of a firing squad
Comrad, the squad advances,
The first and second one have fallen down already
Our vacation is over,
The honour of the world has been buried
Comrad, hide the rifle
The fountains will sing once again
And on this day, close our ranks
So we shall come back from the mountains
Forward boys from Buda,
Forward boys from Pest,
Students, laborers, operarians
The sun does not rise in the east.
