Love in Exile.

Topics: classic

Adapted to a Hungarian melody.     My heart I gave you with my hand,         In brighter days than these,     In that down-trodden father-land         Beyond the distant seas,     Where you were all the world to me,         Devoted, fond, and true,     And I, in our prosperity,         Was all the world to you!     Robbed by a tyrant's iron sway,     We're banished from that land away!     Sad wanderers from our native home!         A ruler in a foe!     An exiled caravan we roam;         But hand in hand WE go!     And thus whatever fate betide         We bless our lot in life,     Since no misfortunes may divide         The husband and the wife!     Here we defy the tyrant's will,     We're happy in each other still!
