The bell rings at noon, ; At half past eleven, ; Now they are escorting Imre Bogár ; To the judgment seat. ; ; 5. The bell rings at noon, ; At twelve o'clock, ; The executioner says: Imre Bogár, ; Get up on the chair. ; ; 6.

The Tisza River has overflowed, ; Only its mud remains, ; Poor Imre Bogár has died, ; Only his fame remains.
