Les sanglots longs
Language: French (Français) 
Available translation(s): ENG ENG ENG GER GER GER HUN HUN ITA
Les sanglots longs
Des violons
   De l'automne
Blessent mon cœur
D'une langueur
   Monotone.

Tout suffocant
Et blême, quand
   Sonne l'heure,
Je me souviens
Des jours anciens
   Et je pleure ;

Et je m'en vais
Au vent mauvais
   Qui m'emporte
Deçà, delà,
Pareil à la
   Feuille morte.

Lehangolón/ Bitangoló
Language: Hungarian (Magyar)  after the French (Français) 
Lehangolón
Bitangoló
	Dallamon
Köszönt az ősz
Egy ónesős
	Hajnalon.

Leszek lohadt,
Fehér, ha majd
	Óra jön,
S idézgetem
Vad életem
	Könnyezőn.

Szivem nehéz,
De menni kész,
	Elbolyong
Tovább, akár
A szélcibált
	Árva lomb.
