Nausikaa
Language: Hungarian (Magyar)
Állok kinn a tenger partján,
mélázok a vizeken:
merre mentél, hova tűntél,
Te sokat tűrt idegen.
Ide látszik Ithakának
felszálló füstfellege,
hű feleség karja átfog.
Bút-bajt feledsz - engem vele.
Hűvös szél fú Ithakából,
nem te küldted? Borzogat.
Állok künn, a tenger partján,
s irigylem a holtakat.

Nausikaa
Language: English after the Hungarian (Magyar)
I am standing on the seashore
contemplating the waters:
Where did you go and disappear,
you stranger who suffered so much?
Rising smoke from Ithaka
can be seen from here,
[your] faithful wife embraces you.
You forget sadness, suffering - and me too.
Cold wind blows from Ithaka,
did you send it? It makes me shiver.
I stand on the seashore
and I envy the the dead.
