Csillag Vagy Fecske [English translation]

You didn't really come too early

But anyway I had some spare time

He became a good friend and we sat around in snack- bars

Waiting for you, tapping each other's back

Passing drinks for women, dressed in blue

Not having the slightest idea of their past.

Chorus: You should stay at home and watch TV

All channels show pitch dark trains

Passing by and carrying no passengers

Except for two, who are standing (drunk) in the bar-coach

The one who' sick-that's me.

It's a pity that they are broadcasting me now,

A moment ago I was praising God.

We didn't really set out to do anything

'cause you were supposed to come

And anyway, what's the point in doing anything,

Only for a short time…

But then you didn't show up

And we made life, out of this sitting-around

Me and my friend Time.

Chorus: You should stay at home and watch TV

All channels show pitch dark trains, passing by,

Carrying no passengers on them

Except two, who are standing (drunk) in the bar-coach.

The one who' sick-that's me.

It's a pity that they are broadcasting me now;

A moment ago I was praising God (drunk).

And after all, it's all the same

I knew that you wouldn't come.

At night you were a star and a swallow by the day.

All land’s cropped, everything's growing properly

So this is what I'm leaving to you

To you, Star or Swallow.

Chorus: …
