Original 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
Translated lyrics
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-
