"Half my life there, and year after year, I left it to run away: the Dream of my youth, a tower built of songs, Proud, tall - only a dream remained. Not in the wake of dullness or passion, I was attacked by wild restlessness, happy days, But it was trouble and trouble that didn't let me do what was in front of me.

Half my life there, and year after year, I left it to run away: the Dream of my youth, a tower built of songs, Proud, tall - only a dream remained. Not in the wake of dullness or passion, I was attacked by wild restlessness, happy days, But it was trouble and trouble that didn't let me do what was in front of me.
""Fél életem oda, s év év után Hogy szökjön el, hagytam: ifjúkorom Álma, dalokból épített torony, Büszke, magas - ábránd maradt csupán. Nem tunyaság, nem szenvedély nyomán Támadt vad nyugtalanság, víg napok, Hanem bú s gond volt, ami nem hagyott Megtenni azt, mi így előttem áll."
