Ady Endre: Leda on the Boat (Léda a hajón in English)
Léda a hajón (Hungarian)Hurráh, jön az Öröm hajója

Leda on the Boat (English)Hurrah, the pleasure boat has arrived Bringing Leda at last to me. On a splendid carpet I see My flower-covered woman arrive In your hair a rose, red as blood. Do you want me? I do want you too Hurrah, it’s been so long since we met.
Oh, dear, I feel faint here on the shore, Oh, dear, you shall be here in no time, I shall ask you questions, you shall chime And so, two hungry souls shall collide My head on the bosom I adore. Oh no. No, don’t come. I shake inside. Oh, dear, it’s been so long since we met.
