Ady Endre: Arrival of the Lord (Az Úr érkezése in English)

Portre of Ady Endre

Az Úr érkezése (Hungarian)

Mikor elhagytak,
Mikor a lelkem roskadozva vittem,
Csöndesen és váratlanul
Átölelt az Isten.

Nem harsonával,
Hanem jött néma, igaz öleléssel,
Nem jött szép, tüzes nappalon
De háborús éjjel.

És megvakultak
Hiú szemeim. Meghalt ifjúságom,
De őt, a fényest, nagyszerűt,
Mindörökre látom.

Arrival of the Lord (English)

When I was left behind

When I carried my soul scarcely

I was embraced by the God

Softly and suddenly.

 

Not with brass

But he came with dumb, true embrace

Nor in a white-hot morning

But in a night infected by war.

 

And my vain eyes

became blind. My days of youth died.

To see the bright, the great

Forever in my life.
