Here is our World  - Hungary, the Magyar land.

a) "Jen nia Mondo" is an Esperanto song to the tune of Woody Guthrie'
s "This Land is Your Land" (itself the tune of a very old gospel song)
b) Madjara refers to the Magyar culture/people of old, not so much
today except as a sort of poetic appelation, like Caledonia for
Scotland or Gaul for France.
