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.

Nehéz a Dolga...
Bikini Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

1. Egyedül fekszem az ágyamon,
Alszik a tábor s én folyton csak rád gondolok.
Hidegen ragyognak a csillagok,
Messze vagy, hogy szeresselek, ó nem tudom.

2. Szavak tűnnek el a semmiben,
Felszívódnak az ürességben az emlékek.
Egy illúzió volt mindenem,

Mondd mért fordítottad ellenem?

3. Nehezen múlnak a hónapok,
Levelet tőled egyre ritkábban kapok.
Itt nem olyan rossz, de volt már jobb,
Te messze vagy s én hiányod lassan megszokom.

R. Nehéz a dolga a katonának, nehéz a dolga...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bikini's song "Nehéz a Dolga" express the longing and loneliness of a soldier far away from his loved one. The first verse describes the singer's insomnia as he thinks of his significant other while the rest of the camp is asleep. The stars shining coldly in the sky emphasize the distance and separation between them. The singer admits that he doesn't know how to love her from afar. The second verse highlights the fading of memories and the emptiness that follows. The singer's illusion of a perfect relationship shattered, and he questions why his loved one turned against him. The third verse shows the passing of time, and the increasing rarity of letters from his loved one. He admits that life in the camp isn't so bad, but he misses his significant other and slowly getting used to the absence.

The chorus repeats the phrase "Nehéz a dolga a katonának, nehéz a dolga," meaning "It's hard for the soldier, it's hard."

The song's lyrics poignantly express the difficulties of separation and the aching pain of missing someone. The chorus represents the collective experiences and struggles of soldiers serving their country. The song's relatable themes of longing and heartache have made it an iconic and popular song in Hungarian music.

Egyedül fekszem az ágyamon,
I lie alone on my bed,

Alszik a tábor s én folyton csak rád gondolok.
The camp sleeps, and all I can think of is you.

Hidegen ragyognak a csillagok,
The stars shine coldly,

Messze vagy, hogy szeresselek, ó nem tudom.
You are far away, and I don't know how to love you.

Szavak tűnnek el a semmiben,
Words disappear into nothingness,

Felszívódnak az ürességben az emlékek.
Memories are absorbed into emptiness.

Egy illúzió volt mindenem,
Everything was just an illusion,

Mondd mért fordítottad ellenem?
Tell me, why did you turn against me?

Nehezen múlnak a hónapok,
The months pass slowly,

Levelet tőled egyre ritkábban kapok.
I receive letters from you less and less.

Itt nem olyan rossz, de volt már jobb,
It's not that bad here, but it was better before,
