Lyrics
Föl, föl, vitézek a csatára, a szent szabadság oltalmára, édes hazánkért hősi vérünk ontjuk hullatjuk nagy bátran, míg élünk.Föl, föl, látjátok lobogómat, indulj utánam robogó had! Zeng, dörg az ágyú, csattog a kard, ez lelkesíti csatára a magyart!Híres Komárom be van véve, Klapka György a fővezére, büszkén kiáll a csatatérre, hajrá huszárok, utánam előre!
