A szerelem, a szerelem...
Love is — love is but a dark pit,
Love is — love is but a dark pit,
A szerelem, a szerelem,
A szerelem sötét verem;
Love is — love is but a dark pit,
Suddenly I fell into it;
A szerelem sötét verem;
Love is — love is but a dark pit,
Suddenly I fell into it;
Beleestem, benne vagyok,
Nem láthatok, nem hallhatok.
And since into this pit I fell,
It seems I live beneath a spell.
Nem láthatok, nem hallhatok.
And since into this pit I fell,
It seems I live beneath a spell.
Őrizem az apám nyáját,
De nem hallom a kolompját;
I’m set to watch my father’s sheep:
I might as well be fast asleep.
De nem hallom a kolompját;
I’m set to watch my father’s sheep:
I might as well be fast asleep.
Rá-rámegy a zöld vetésre,
Hej, csak későn veszem észre.
The herd now roams about at will.
And tramples grain on vale and bill.
Hej, csak későn veszem észre.

And tramples grain on vale and bill.
Telerakta édesanyám
Eleséggel a tarisznyám;
With careful thought my mother filled
My bag with food, I could have stilled
Eleséggel a tarisznyám;
With careful thought my mother filled
My bag with food, I could have stilled
Elvesztettem szerencsésen,
Lesz módom a böjtölésben.
My hunger, but my bag I lost;
By fasting now I pay the cost.

Édesapám, édesanyám,
Ne bizzatok most semmit rám,
Dear father and dear mother, pray,
Forgive me if I don’t obey.
Ne bizzatok most semmit rám,
Dear father and dear mother, pray,
Forgive me if I don’t obey.
Nézzétek el, ha hibázok-
Tudom is én, mit csinálok!
The while my heart with love’s aglow,
What I am doing I don’t know.
Tudom is én, mit csinálok!
The while my heart with love’s aglow,
What I am doing I don’t know.
