Jewish Hungarian hymn #hungary #general
Inacio Steinhardt
My late Mother born in Hungary used to sing an hymn which I, not knowing Hungarian thought to be Hatikva in her mother language.
The words that I remember ignoring the spelling went like this: Oy ozisten ot megiget, visa hoja yerushalem mnet Does anybody remember such a song? Thank you Inacio Steinhardt

Ignacio,
The words are recognizable, yet with errors (does not mattet). It looks like they were like this Ha az Isten megígért, visszahozza Jeruzsálemet (means: If G-d promised it, he will return/bring back Jerusalem)
I have checked and have not found any song with this. It may have been a Hungarian Zionist song?
Regards,

You asked about a Hungarian hymn. If anyone would know it would be Keresz but could it be a line from the Kalever Rebbe's nigun...?

The hungarian words and the rhythm certainly correspond to HaTikva, as
sung in Ivrit. -- Eva Lawrence St Albans, UK.

Perhaps I should have mentioned that HaTikva is the Israeli natuona anthem, since no-one else has. The tune is borrowed from Smetana's Ma Vlast. In the Zionist groupI belonged to as a teenager, it would be sing at the end of every meeting.

Hello Everybody 11th February 2021
As someone who was born and grew up in Hungary, please allow me to express how I feel about the Hungarian song: you mention I visited Nagykallo the Burial place of the Kaleve Tzaddik more than once -- In my perception, it is indeed could be the " Szol a kakas mar majd meg virrad mar. Kek erdoben zold mezoben setal egy madar, de micsoda madar etc. Amit a Jo Teremto megigert/ whatever our almighty G promised will be fulfilled I wonder, if I may mention: The symbolical meaning of the song -of the Szol a kakas mar--is extremely powerful.--for all of us who unwaveringly believe in the Torah " In my understanding, the sky opens up for a split second sometimes at dawn --the 'special cock' crocks in that very powerful moment when our wishes could reach? be listened to ? be granted? Szol a kakas mar was/is a song, from generations to generations : in a way --from the cradle to the grave--and eternal song-- To my knowledge it is actually on you tube --the English translation varies a bit. This is the song, which was sung by the present Kaleve Rabbi on the riverbank of the River Danube--Budapest Remembering the Holocaust, when the our Jewish brethren were ordered to take their shoes off ---and shut-- falling into the river Danube There were /are some other famous Hungarian songs : like the Yiddishe Mumma etc. Best wishes to Everybody at Jewish Gen Kind regards Veronika Pachtinger London UK
