Szivárvány havasán
felnőtt liliomszál
nem szereti helyét
el akar bújdosni

ki kell onnat venni,
s új helybe kell tenni
ki kell onnat venni,
s új helybe kell tenni

s apámért, s anyámért
mit sem cselekednék
tengernek habját
kanállal lemerném

tenger fenekiből
gyöngyszemeket szednék
mégis a rózsámnak
gyöngykoszorút kötnék

-

On a rainbow’s snow-mount
there is a bloomed lily
she don’t like her place
she wants to hide away

she must be taken of there,
she must be replaced somewhere
she must be taken of there,
she must be replaced somewhere

I’d do anything
for my father, for my mother
I’d scoop
all the foam of the sea

I’d collect all the pearls
of the seabed
although I’d wreathe
a pearl girdle for my flower
