Csillag Vagy Fecske [English translation]

You didn’t arrive earlier

But I had plenty of Time

He and I became great cronies

and sat in canteens,

waiting for you

hitting each other on the back,

ordering drinks

for women in blue dresses,

unsuspecting of their own past

Stay at home, watch TV

Every channel shows the same dark trains

travelling without passengers

there’s only two people standing in the restaurant car (drunk)

The one being sick is me

It’s a pity them showing me right now as previously

I had been praising god

We didn’t want to go into details

as you would surely be coming

and what would be the point anyway

for such a short time

And then you didn’t turn up

so we converted this sitting together

into living

with Time, my mate

Stay at home, watch TV

Every channel shows the same dark trains

travelling without passengers

there’s only two people standing in the restaurant car (drunk)

The one being sick is me

It’s a pity them showing me right now as previously

I had been praising god

It’s all the same after all

I knew you wouldn’t come

You were a Star at night

and a Swallow by day

Every field cared for

Everything growing in neat order

This is what I leave for you

You star or swallow!

Stay at home, watch TV

Every channel shows the same dark trains

travelling without passengers

there’s only two people standing in the restaurant car (drunk)

The one being sick is me

It’s a pity them showing me right now as previously

I had been praising god

(drunk)
