Ki tudja merre, merre visz a végzet Göröngyös úton, sötét éjjelen. Vezesd^[a] még egyszer győzelemre néped, Csaba királyfi^[b] csillagösvényen. Refrén: Maroknyi székely porlik, mint a szikla Népek harcának^[c] zajló tengerén. Fejünk az ár, jaj, százszor elborítja,^[d] Ne hagyd elveszni Erdélyt, Istenünk!^[e] Ameddig élünk magyar ajkú népek Megtörni lelkünk nem lehet soha Szülessünk bárhol, világ bármely pontján Legyen a sorsunk jó vagy mostoha. Refrén Már másfélezer év óta Csaba népe Sok vihart élt át, sorsa mostoha Külső ellenség jaj, de gyakran tépte Nem értett egyet otthon sem soha. Refrén Keserves múltunk, évezredes balsors Tatár, s török dúlt, labanc rabigált Jussunk e honban, Magyar Székelyföldön Szabad hazában élni boldogan. Refrén Hős szabadságát elveszti Segesvár Mádéfalvára fájón kell tekints Földed dús kincsét népek élik s dúlják Fiaidnak sokszor még kenyérre sincs. Refrén Édes Szűzanyánk,könyörögve kérünk, Mentsd meg e népet, vérző Nemzetet, Jussunk e Honban,magyar-székely földön Szabad hazában éljünk boldogan! Refrén	Who knoweth where, O where our destiny shall be? On this rough road amid the darkest night Lead on thy nation, O lead on to victory, Csaba our Prince, on paths of heavenly light. Refrain: Pounded and crushed upon the rocks, the Székely few By nations’ strife and battle’s deepest flood Our drownéd heads, by countless tides were drenched through Let Transylvania fall not, O Our God! Whilst life remains with us, we of Hungarian birth Our spirit shall not broken be, nor fail Wherever born, wherever brought upon earth, Though fate be kindly yet, or ill prevail. Refrain People of Csaba, thrice five hundred years through Survived the storms, though harsh their bitter fate The foe without, whose tearing wounds they once knew Even at home, discord did not abate. Refrain Our grievous past, our thousand years of harsh pain The prey of Tartar, Turk, and Hapsburg thrall Our prize of Magyar Szekélyland to regain A happy home and freedom for us all. Refrain O Segesvár, thy freedom cast asunder Mádéfalva, we watch thee full of pain Our lands’ rich treasures, lost as foemen plunder No crust of bread thy sons can hope to gain. Refrain O holy Virgin, hear as we implore thee Save thou our people, wracked with bleeding pain Then let us go unto the Székely country A free and happy homeland there to gain. Refrain
