1. Formed by Nagy Feró and Németh Alajos in 1982, Budapest, Hungary, Bikini is one of the most successful Hungarian rock band of the eighties. Nagy Feró's (also known as "the cockroach of the nation", as he called himself) former punk band, the legendary Beatrice split up in 1982, after having serious problems with communist authorities, when they formed this band.
The band music and lyrics was, like much of the communist era, filled with hidden meanings against the oppression. With Nagy Feró in the front of the Bikini they produced two studio albums, which were very progressive, post modern punk rock albums. Their debut was "Hová lett?" (1983), followed by the "XX. századi híradó" (1984) one year later. However as the eroding of Hungarian communist regime became more obvious and faster, Feró left the Bikini for reuniting the Beatrice.
In 1985 D. Nagy Lajos arrived to the band as a lead singer, when they progressed to a more accessible and melodic rock sound, and produced legendary and very successful hit songs like "Közeli helyeken" or "Ki visz haza?", which are still very popular and often played in Hungary. The band split up in 1992 but reunited in 1997.
Members are: D. Nagy Lajos, Németh Alajos, Lukács Peta, Mihalik Viktor, Makovics Dénes, Bördén Szabolcs.
Some former members are:
Nagy Feró (vocals 1982-85), Vedres Joe (guitar 1982-91, 1997-1998), Németh Gábor (drums, 1982-1985), Berecz Endre (drums, 1989-1991), Hirleman Bertalan (drums, 1985-1989, 1997-1998), Gallai Péter (keyboards 1985-2003), Daczi Zsolt (guitar 1991-2004), Csillag Endre (guitars 2004-2006), Kató Zoltán (saxophone, 1989-1998).

2. Bikini (electro-pop dance music duo) is Nigel Diamond and Olivier Olivier. Their music is like Salinger on MDMA. Diamond is originally from Miami and Olivier was classically trained at the Royal Conservatory.
Olivier Olivier is the son of the late Indian poet Fateh Bains and moved to Canada where he attended Glen-Lyon Norfolk School, a school chosen for its musical program affiliated with the Royal Conservatory of Music. It was here Olivier met Nigel Diamond, who was sent down after he was expelled from his previous school.
It wasn’t until after Glen-Lyon Norfolk that the two began to make music together. Olivier composes all the melodies in the fall of each year, drawing his inspiration from the poetry he writes during the summer. He records vocals, exports all his drafts without titles or form to Diamond. Diamond spends the following spring arranging Olivier's melodies, rhythm sequences and vocal treatments, adding his own lines. The result is a finished record. Nothing is sent back to Olivier. The songs are then sent from Diamond to be mastered and released.

Könnycsepp a mennyből
Bikini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Talán nem én voltam, nem is lehettem
A tegnapról-tegnapelőttre éltem
Csak a szerepet próbáltam jól eljátszani
Nincs szerencsém, nincs mibe kapaszkodni
Csak nézem, hová fogok zuhanni
Az Életfilm gyorsan pereg előttem
Hétszer élünk vagy egyszer sem ?
Mert ami van, az nem jött be
Választ vár most az életről:
egy nagy könnycsepp a Mennyekből
Hideg van és ebben a Fényben félek
hogy a Pokolra, vagy a Mennyországba érek,
Tehetetlenül várok a testem felett,
vajon olyan beteg vagyok, aki visszajön az életbe?
Hétszer élünk...
These lyrics belong to the song "Könnycsepp a mennyből" by Bikini. The song tells the story of someone reflecting on their past and questioning their purpose in life. The first verse opens with the line, "Once upon a time, where I did not exist," suggesting that the person is contemplating their existence and their true identity. They feel detached from themselves and the world around them, living from one day to the next, merely playing a role rather than truly experiencing life.
The chorus poses the question of whether we live multiple lives or not. The line "Hétszer élünk vagy egyszer sem?" translates to "Do we live seven times or not at all?" It reflects the uncertainty and lack of control the person feels in their own life. They long for something meaningful to happen, something beyond the superficiality of their current existence. The mention of a big tear falling from the heavens (a könnycsepp a Mennyekből), signifies the hope for a profound revelation or transformative experience.
In the second verse, the person expresses their fear and indecision as they navigate through life. They feel cold and overwhelmed by the brightness of the world they find themselves in, uncertain whether they will end up in heaven or hell. They feel powerless, waiting for something to happen either in the physical world or within themselves. They question whether they are sick enough to be brought back to life, suggesting a longing for redemption or renewal.
Overall, the lyrics of "Könnycsepp a mennyből" delve into existential themes of identity, purpose, and the search for meaning in life. The song captures a sense of longing for a deeper experience and a desire to break free from the monotony of a superficial existence.
Line by Line Meaning
Egyszer volt, hol nem volt egy testem
Once upon a time, in a place where there was no existence, there was a body that belonged to me.
Talán nem én voltam, nem is lehettem
Perhaps it was not me, and it couldn't have been.
A tegnapról-tegnapelőttre éltem
I lived from yesterday to the day before yesterday.
Csak a szerepet próbáltam jól eljátszani
I was just trying to play the role well.
Nincs szerencsém, nincs mibe kapaszkodni
I have no luck, nothing to hold onto.
Csak nézem, hová fogok zuhanni
I just watch where I will fall.
Az Életfilm gyorsan pereg előttem
The film of life quickly reels in front of me.
Valami vár rám a sötétben, ez a világ már mögöttem
Something awaits me in the darkness, this world is already behind me.
Hétszer élünk vagy egyszer sem ?
Do we live seven times or not at all?
Mert ami van, az nem jött be
Because what exists did not work out.
Választ vár most az életről:
Now life awaits an answer:
egy nagy könnycsepp a Mennyekből
a big teardrop from Heaven.
Hideg van és ebben a Fényben félek
It is cold and I am afraid in this light.
hogy a Pokolra, vagy a Mennyországba érek
that I will reach either Hell or Heaven.
Tehetetlenül várok a testem felett
Helplessly, I wait above my body.
vajon olyan beteg vagyok, aki visszajön az életbe?
I wonder if I am sick enough to return to life?
Hétszer élünk...
Do we live seven times...
