Ha majd, a nyarunknak vége [English translation]

When our summer is over, light snow is silently falling

I would continue being your sweetie and being the good one for you

In a small, quiet bachelor flat, the clock urges us to say goodbye

The noises of the street come in from the outside, loud hurrahs can be heard

Can you hear how they blow the horn? Can you hear the music?

They're blowing "Go ahead!", "Let's go!", they're blowing an alarm already

Put your head on my shoulder dear, someone else can have you by evening

By evening the regiment will set out, by evening I'll be gone too

By sunset our regiment will be marching

Kiss me one more time sweetheart, who knows where we'll go?

By a distant, flickering fire, the regiment goes to rest

The lieutenant can't sleep, he asks for a pen and paper

Someone is waiting for him at home, he thinks he hears someone crying

He props his head on his hand and then he writes in silence

On the next day, the poor lieutenant is lying on a hospital bed

A bullet hit his lungs, there's no hope that he could survive

Doctor, I would like to write so bad, I don't even know why

I would like to see a girl, who might not even be mine

Doctor, for heaven's sake, give me my officer's uniform

I won't lie in bed any longer, I'll protect my Hungarian homeland

It's not possible lieutenant, says the doctor, you're still sick

Under the cover of the night, the lieutenant escaped from the hospital

The battle is over, the sun goes down bloody

Beside the stretcher of the lieutenant, a priest is praying

He's reassuring him softly, quietly but the lieutenant can't hear him anymore

His heart makes a feverish throb and his soul ascends to heaven

A mail has arrived by post, which was about the lieutenant

The captain has read it and then softly said

Write to the girl that she shouldn't wait for her lieutenant

His eternal bed is being dug here, his grave has been dug here

The night is coming silently, the drums are starting to roll

Nobody knows that at home someone is sobbing quietly

In a small, quiet bachelor flat, a gorgeous girl has died

She stuck a sharp needle in her heart, she went after the lieutenant
