	Story Behind the Song During 889 AD, the seven chieftains of the seven Hungarian (Magyar) tribes (Nyeck, Megyer, Kurtgyarmat, Tarjan, Jeno, Ker, Keszi) elected Árpád, and his future sons as their rulers. Árpád was a direct descendent of Attila, and a chieftain of the largest tribe (Megyer). The seven chieftains swore a ritual oath of blood, known as Vérszerződés; Each leader cut his arm, drained his blood into a golden cup. The blood was then mixed, and then the tribal leaders drank from the cup. This treaty of blood united the Magyars as one. Prince Árpád now led his people westward in quest of a new home. Their journey brought them to the outer slopes of the Carpathians, and by the favour of fortune, to a new life beyond them. Lyrics Seven tribes united by their pagan blood Their fate forever sealed by the reign of Arpad Seven tribes, their numbers many thousands strong Ancient honour, our past will never be forgotten Nyeck, Megyer, Tarjan, Kurtgyarmat, Jeno, Ker, Keszi! Nyeck, Megyer, Tarjan, Kurtgyarmat, Jeno, Ker, Keszi! Ancient Magyars, the fierces of the pagan hordes Bound by blood, they leave their land Etelkoz Ancient Magyars, their numbers many thousands strong Ancient honour, our past will never be forgotten Nyeck, Megyer, Tarjan, Kurtgyarmat, Jeno, Ker, Keszi! Nyeck, Megyer, Tarjan, Kurtgyarmat, Jeno, Ker, Keszi!
