Whose nation are you, hey Hungarians?
László Lengyel is our good leader, hey Germans!
He is also our enemy, hey Hungarians?
Why should he be your enemy, ...?
He had the pillar of our bridge broken, ...?
How did he have it broken, ...?
With his red chestnut horse, hey Hungarians?

We will rebuild it from green elderwood, ...!
Green elderwood will rot, ...!
We will rebuild it from lead copper, ...!
Lead copper will melt, hey Hungarians!
We will rebuild it from yellow gold, ...!
Where could you get yellow gold,
hey Hungarian beggars?

We will go to Our Lady's little garden,
We will be given if we ask for it.
We will carry it in a basin,
we will give it to you.
You are lying, because you have stolen it, ...!
Our God sees our souls, hey Germans:
We have neither stolen nor bought it,
it is a gift of God!

You may cross the bridge,
we will take a toll!
We don't care if you take it or not,
we will cross it!
What's the toll?
A barrel of wine, an oven-full of sweetbread
and a beautiful girl!
The barrel of wine is being filtered,
we will cross it!
The sweetbread is being baked,
we will cross it!
Where's the girl?
The girl is being dressed,
we can give her to you at once!

You may cross the bridge,
we will take a toll!
We may cross the bridge,
so we shall cross it!
We don't care if you take it or not,
we will cross it!
