József Attila: Lay Now Your Hand (Tedd a kezed in English)

Tedd a kezed

homlokomra,

mintha kezed

kezem volna.

Úgy őrizz, mint

ki gyilkolna,

mintha éltem

élted volna.

Úgy szeress, mint

ha jó volna,

mintha szívem

szíved volna.

Lay now your hand

on my forehead,

as if your hand

my hand would be.

Be my guard like

one who could kill,

as if my life

your life would be.

Love me as if

it was so sweet,

as if my heart

your heart would be.
