Veterán [English translation]

Can you see the roof of your house?

Can you feel the warmth of home?

Forest, meadow, a small graveyard,

There sleeps your lover already.

She waited, waited for you through many long years,

Her heart broke, she waited so much for you.

Her frail life was taken from her,

She's calling for you, listen to the poor thing!

The flower growing on the grave starts to speak:

"I've made one mistake and that was waiting for you."

It says goodbye thus, says farewell,

Blessed Hungarian earth covers it up thus.

God from the sky look down upon me!

I had nothing but this girl,

I had nothing and I'll never have anymore.

Cry, just cry! Heroic veteran!
