Farewell (Búcsúdal)

V6

Instrumental - sad organ melody] [Verse 1 - sparse piano accompaniment, cracking singing voice] We’re standing here, in silence… Before your picture frame Your hand cannot reach out, Only your eyes touch us the same. Mama, I still see you While you’re Waving your hand, As if you’re still waiting At the open gate at home. [Pre-Chorus - cracking vocals] Now your name slowly Flows into the breeze But even surrounded by flowers Your absence grips painfully. And I’m just standing here Like a lost little child! Without you our house, Can’t be Home at all. [Chorus - overlapping harmonies] Menj haza— Anyukám Toward the bright and open road, Menj haza— Anyukám, Where the past won’t hurt anymore. I will stay here for a time… Though my soul’s braking apart! Menj haza— Anyukám They’re Waiting for you to arrive. [Verse 2] Thank you for loving me And looking after me well, You always had time to listen, And counselled me so clear I see your worn out hands That held mine so tight I see your bright smile shining, That always welcomed me back. [Pre-Chorus] Now your name slowly Flows into the breeze But even with the flowers Your absence’s grips my heart And I’m just standing here Like a lost little child! Without you our house, Can’t be home at all. [Chorus - overlapping harmonies] Menj haza— Anyukám Toward the bright and open path, Menj haza— Anyukám There’s no hurt from the past. I will stay here for a time… Though my soul’s braking down! Menj haza— Anyukám They’re waiting for a while. [Bridge - slow down, painful cracking voice] One day I will set out too, And I’ll find you there Until then I will hold you in my beating heart, you’ll remain there. It’s not farewell, just a minute in time, A quiet embrace under the sky For when a love runs this deep, It Doesn’t fade away It lives inside us forever.. night and day. [Final Chorus - cracking vocals, stripped-down music, close intimate mic] Menj haza— Anyukám Guided by the bright path Menj haza— Anyukám There’s no hurt from the past. I will stay here for a while, But my heart will follow. Menj haza— Anyukám And to all of our loved ones .. say hello… Hmmmm…
