"Himnusz" (Hungarian pronunciation:[ˈhimnus]ⓘ; lit. "Hymn" or "Anthem") is the national anthem of Hungary.[1] The lyrics were written by Ferenc Kölcsey, a nationally renowned poet, in 1823, and its currently official musical setting was composed by the romantic composer Ferenc Erkel in 1844, although other less-known musical versions exist. The poem bore the subtitle "A magyar nép zivataros századaiból" ("From the stormy centuries of the Hungarian nation"); it is often argued that this subtitle – by emphasising past rather than contemporary national troubles – was added expressly to enable the poem to pass Habsburg censorship. The full meaning of the poem's text is evident only to those well acquainted with Hungarian history. The first stanza is sung at official ceremonies and as well in common. It was de facto used as hymn of the Kingdom of Hungary from its composition in 1844, and was officially adopted as national anthem of the Third Hungarian Republic in 1989.
The lyrics of "Himnusz" are a prayer beginning with the words Isten, áldd meg a magyart (pronounced[ˈiʃtɛnˈaːldmɛɡɒˈmɒɟɒrt]ⓘ; English: "God, bless the Hungarians").
