Text & Translation

Isten veled
Hungarian source: P Horváth

Isten veled, Isten veled!
Hajh! Tetöled messze távozom.
Ah! De képed’ és szerelmed;
Szümben hordozom.

Lelkemet, lelkemet zálogul
Vedd, csak szerelmet adj.
Ah! De hivet hü szerelmet,
Csak szerelmet adj.

Farewell, farewell
English translation © Anon.

Farewell, farewell:
Oh, I am going far away,
But, ah, your image and my love for you
I will carry in my heart.

It is my soul, my soul I pledge.
Take it and give me love.
Ah, but I hope that the love
she has for me is true.
