Árva az a madár - Lonely Is The Bird

(Andrea Gerak/Effi Shoshani)
February 28, 2004
Traditional/Effi Shoshani

"Traditional Hungarian music can be outstanding and this modern version from Andrea Gerak is no exception. Incredible vocal skill is matched by equally incredible musical arrangements! Beauty to be cherished!" - BeSonic


"Beautiful, and a little haunting. Sounds a little like a cross between Enya and an Islamic prayer call. Reminds me of walking past the Blue Mosque in Istanbul." - Mperia


Andrea's first "baby" with Effi. He got the a cappella Madarka, madarka CD and created this song from one of the tracks.

Lyrics

Árva az a madár,
Kinek párja nincsen,
Én is árva vagyok,
Jaj, de nekem sincsen.

Sír az egyik szemem,
Sírjon a másik is,
Sírjon mind a kettő,
Mint a záporeső.

Adta Isten volna,
Ne láttalak volna,
Híremet híreddel
Ne hírelték volna.

Nevemet neveddel
Ne nevezték volna,
Így az én bús szívem
Mély gyászba nem volna.

Lonely is the bird
That has no mate,
I am lonely as well,
I don't have one either.

One of my eyes is crying,
Let the other one cry too,
Let them both cry
Like a rainshower.

God should have made it so
That I wouldn't have seen you,
The word about me wouldn't have gone
Along with the word about you.

My name wouldn't have been named
Along with your name,
So that now my gloomy heart
Wouldn't be in deep mourning.
