Housman, A. E.: Nézzen rám, kinek élni jó (Easter Hymn (XXVI) in Hungarian)

Portre of Housman, A. E.

Easter Hymn (XXVI) (English)

Good creatures, do you love your lives
  And have you ears for sense?
Here is a knife like other knives,
  That cost me eighteen pence.

I need but stick it in my heart
  And down will come the sky,
And earth's foundations will depart
  And all you folk will die.

Nézzen rám, kinek élni jó (Hungarian)

Nézzen rám, kinek élni jó,
ki meghallgat s megért:
ím egy kés, bárhol kapható
tizennyolc pennyért.

Szívembe szúrom - ennyi csak,
s az ég kihúny, meging,
a föld ezer felé hasad,
és meghaltok ti mind!
