Binyon, Laurence: Ó, Föld, légy jobb! (O World, Be Nobler in Hungarian)

Portre of Binyon, Laurence
Portre of Gergely Ágnes

Back to the translator

O World, Be Nobler (English)

O world, be nobler, for her sake!

  If she but knew thee what thou art,

What wrongs are borne, what deeds are done

In thee, beneath thy daily sun,

  Know'st thou not that her tender heart

For pain and very shame would break?

O World, be nobler, for her sake!

Ó, Föld, légy jobb! (Hungarian)

Ó, Föld, légy jobb a kedviért!

   Ha sejtené csak, mily halom

gaztett lapul és szenny tapad

hozzád a napsütés alatt;

   a szégyen és a fájdalom

megölné őzikém szivét!

Ó, Föld, légy jobb a kedviért!
