Text

ii. Nyár, 'Summer'
Hungarian source: Klára Gombossy

Szomjasan vágyva várom a szellőt,
A kék égharang vakít felettem.
Rajta árnyat hiába kerestem.
A nap megolvasztott minden felhőt.
Nyitott szijjal szívtam a napsugárt,
A längoló ég szinte rämszakadt...
Es a lombos, sürü, zöld fâk alatt
A rohanó nyár egy percre megállt.
