People best know Hungarian lyric poet and revolutionary hero Sándor Petöfi, originally Sándor Petrovics, for his patriotic songs and the epic poem Janos the Hero (1845).

This key national of Serb and Slovak descent figured in the Hungarian revolution of 1848.

Petőfi started his career as a poet with "popular situation songs," to which his first published poem, A borozó ("The Winery", 1842), belongs. This song of a drinker praises the healing power of wine to drive away all troubles. Despite this not unusual kind of pseudo-folk song in Hungarian poetry of the 1840s, Petőfi quickly developed an original and fresh voice, which made him stand.

“Liberty and love
These two I must have.
For my love I’ll sacrifice
My life.
For liberty I’ll sacrifice
My love.”

“Zar pitoma kućna ptica da bude
Orao, koji
Nekad je pandže
Vihoru bjesnom
u leđa zarivô
I jahao na njem -
Pobjednik njegov?
Zar vatreni mladić
Da građanin bude,
Što, miran i mlitav, ramenima sliježe
I klima glavom
U spavaćoj kapi?

Ne može mene
Napustiti žar,
Plemenit gnjev moj.
Presahnuo nije
U mojemu srcu
Divlji i bučni planinski potok,
A bome i ne će.
Mirniji samo
Posta mu tok,
Jer poljima ravnim
Vodi ga put -
Sadašnjost to je
Bez brijega i dola.
Al tu je budućnost!
Divljih je stijena
I ponora puna!”
― Sándor Petőfi

“Talpra magyar, hí a haza!
Itt az idő, most vagy soha!
Rabok legyünk vagy szabadok?
Ez a kérdés, válasszatok! –
A magyarok istenére
Esküszünk,
Esküszünk, hogy rabok tovább
Nem leszünk!”
― Sándor Petőfi, Nemzeti dal =: National-Lied : vorgetragen am 15. März 1848 (EVA Reden)
