Szol a kakas mar

Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac Taub

R Isaac Taub

Hungarian Lyrics

Szol a kakas mar - Crows the roster now
Majd meg virrad mar - Sun is rising now
Zold erdoben, sik mezoben - In green forests and open fields
Setal egy madar - Walks a little bird
De micsoda madar ?! - But what a bird is it?
De micsoda madar ?! - But what a bird is it?
Sarga laba, kek a szarnya - Its feet is yellow, blue are the wings,
Engem oda var - Waiting for me there
Varj madar, varj!- Bird,wait a little bit!
Te csak mindig varj - You must always wait-
Ha az Isten neked rendelt - If G-d gave me only to you
Tied leszek mar - Yours I will be then
De mikor lesz az mar? - But when will that happen ?
De mikor lesz az mar! - But when will that happen ?
K'She Yibone HaMikdosh Ir Tzion temale - When the Temple stands again
And Zion is rebuilt again
Akkor lesz az mar - Then will it happen-
De miert nincs az mar?- Why does it not happen?
De miert nincs az mar!- Why does it not happen?
U'Mipnei Chatoeni Golini M'Artzeni - Because of our sins were we
exiled from our homeland
Azert nincs az mar - That's why doesn't it happen

Translation

Crows the roster now
Sun is rising now
In green forest and open fields,
Walks a little bird-
But what a bird is it?
But what a bird is it?
Its feet is yellow, blue are the wings,
Waiting for me there-
Wait, bird, wait a bit
You must always wait
If G-d gave me only to you
Yours I will be then-
But when will that happen?
But when will that happen?
When the Temple stands again
And Zion is rebult again
Then will it happen-
Why does it not happen,
Why doe it not happen
U'Mipnei Chatoeni Golini M'Artzeni
That's why does not happen-
