SZULIKÓ

"Erdő mélyén hűs fák alatt

Piros rózsaszál most fakad

Erdő mélyén hűs hajnalon

Felelj, hol vagy, szép Szulikóm?"

 SULIKO

I was looking for my sweetheart's grave,
 And longing was tearing my heart.
 Without love my heart felt heavy -
 Where are you, my Suliko?
 
 Among fragrant roses, in the shadow,
 Brightly a nightingale sang his song.
 There I asked the nightingale
 Where he had hidden Suliko.
 
 Suddenly the nightingale fell silent
 And softly touched the rose with the beak:
 "You have found what you are looking for", he said,
 In an eternal sleep Suliko is resting here."
