Lyrics
Mikor az édes, néma gondolat
múlt dolgaiból ülésre hív;
Időpazarlás csak, mit szem sirat.
Mi elmaradt, értük sóhajt e szív.
Nem szoktam sírni, de barátaim,
kiket halál időtlen éje rejt,
s rég feledett, fájó szerelmeim;
értük jajgatok - szemem könnyet ejt.
Akkor a meggyászolt sérelmeket,
sorolhatom bánattól bánatig,
szomorú számadást megfizetek,
úgy, mintha adós lennék még mindig.
De ha eszembe jutsz drága barát,
nincs már veszteség, - űzöd bánatát...
word for word:
When sweet, mute thought
calls to session from past things;
It is but wasting time, what the eye laments.
What was left behind, for them this heart sighs.
I do not use to weep, but my friends,
whom death’s timeless night conceals,
and my long-forgotten, painful loves;
for them I cry aloud – my eye lets fall a tear.
Then the mourned wrongs,
I can list them from sorrow to sorrow,
I pay the sad reckoning,
as if I were still in debt.
But when you come to my mind, dear friend,
there is no more loss – you drive sorrow away...
original:
XXX.
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time’s waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,
For precious friends hid in death’s dateless night,
And weep afresh love’s long since cancell’d woe,
And moan the expense of many a vanish’d sight:
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o’er
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restored and sorrows end.
