Dagar komma | Dagar komma, dagar ser jag lykta

Translation by Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804 - 1877)

A kesergő szerelem

Language: Hungarian (Magyar)

Napok jönnek, napok mennek,
  De búm csak nem távozik;
És az órák elreppennek,
  De sorsom nem változik:
A volkánok kifáradnak, -
  De nem az én tüzeim;
Folyók, tavak kiapadnak, -
  De nem az én könnyeim;
Erdők, mezők felvídúlnak,
Csillagzatok megfordúlnak,
  A szerencse forgandó -
  Csak inségem állandó!

Dagar komma, dagar ser jag lykta

Language: Swedish (Svenska) after the Hungarian (Magyar)

Dagar komma, dagar ser jag lykta,
Men min sorg förblifver, som den var;
Stunderna på tidens vingar flykta,
Evigt blir mitt ödes tyngd dock qvar;
Elden slocknar i vulkanens ugnar,
Men min kärlek brinner aldrig ut;
Dagens stormar qvällens timme lugnar,
Men mitt hjertats storm är utan slut;
Skog och äng i nya skrudar klädas,
Stjernorna af fyllda banor gladas,
Sjelfva lyckan har sin vexling fått,
Fast som klippan är min saknad blott.
