1. Omega is one of the most successful Hungarian rock bands. Formed in Budapest, Hungary in September, 1962 by the winds player László Benkő on vocal, piano and flute and János Kóbor as a lead singer and rhythm guitarist, they initially performed covers of British and American rock songs, with frequently changing the lineup of members. In 1967 Tamás Mihály came on bass, Gábor Presser joined on keyboards and began writing original music for the band (in 1968 György Molnár became a lead guitarist), releasing three LPs before leaving the band with József Laux, a drummer from 1962, to form Locomotív GT. These first albums were heavily influenced by the music of The Beatles, but they also looked forward to the band's future more progressive, space-rock style. After Presser and Laux's departure, the band found a new drummer (Ferenc Debreceni came from group Neoton Familia) and pointed Benkő as the main keyboardist, creating the current lineup, which has remained the same for over 30 years:
* János Kóbor ("Mecky"), lead vocals
* György Molnár ("Elefánt"), guitars
* László Benkő ("Laci"), keyboards, vocals
* Tamás Mihály ("Misi"), bass, vocals
* Ferenc Debreceni ("Ciki"), drums
This lineup of Omega released ten more albums from 1972 to 1987. Many of these were released both in Hungarian and in English, in the hopes of generating wider interest in their music. However, the contents of the English albums often differed from their Hungarian counterparts, sometimes assembling tracks from several different albums and nearly always changing the song order. Following a few years of inactivity, the band reunited in 1994, with former member Gábor Presser joining them at concerts and contributing several tracks to 1995's Trans And Dance.
Omega has achieved modest international success through releases in multiple languages, and tours in England and Germany in the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s. Their 1969 song "Gyöngyhajú lány" became an international hit, and was later covered by Scorpions on a 1995 live release, with new lyrics and the title "White Dove" (the Hungarian title officially was translated as "Pearls In Her Hair").
Omega's latest (16th) Hungarian studio release is 2006’s Égi jel ("Celestial Sign"), and their latest English release is 1996's Transcendent. In spring and summer of 2006, they performed their "EurOmega 2006" tour, including concerts in Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and Germany.

Petróleum lámpa
Omega Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Egy fényes régi-régi-régi-régi lámpa
Talpán zöld betűk: "Én vagyok a fény, a tűz
Hogy láss az éjszakába"
Petróleum lámpa
Milyen szép a lángja, á-á-á
És tűrt sok-sok-sok hazugságot
Száz év rálépett, ismeri az életet
És érti a nagyvilágot
Petróleumlámpa
Milyen szép a lángja, á-á-á
Petróleumlámpa
Milyen szép a lángja, á-á-á
Kislány, ha itt jársz, árnyékod kék óriás
Megnéz és elvarázsol
Bámulsz, hogy mi van, nézel, mint a moziban
És két szép szemedben táncol
Petróleumlámpa
Milyen szép a lángja, á-á-á
The opening lines of Omega's song Petróleum lámpa describe a delicate porcelain object standing on a piano, next to an old, shiny lamp with green letters on its base that read "I am the light, the fire, that you may see into the night". These two objects evoke a sense of nostalgia and a bygone era. The lyricist then goes on to describe the qualities and experiences of the petroleum lamp, highlighting its beautiful flame and its ability to illuminate dark nights and burn moths. The lamp has endured a hundred years and has seen and understood the ways of the world.
The chorus of "Petróleum lámpa, milyen szép a lángja" (Petroleum lamp, how beautiful its flame) is repeated twice, emphasizing the beauty and elegance of the petroleum lamp. The final verse addresses a girl who is bewitched by the lamp's dance in her two beautiful eyes, creating a dreamlike image that conjures up the electricity-free world of the past, where a single lamp provided light and comfort.

Oil lamp
Milyen szép a lángja, á-á-á
How beautiful its flame is, aaah
Kémlelt éjeket, sok lepkét megégetett
It has watched over many nights and burned many moths
És tűrt sok-sok-sok hazugságot
And it has endured many, many lies
Száz év rálépett, ismeri az életet
One hundred years have passed, it knows life
És érti a nagyvilágot
And understands the world
Kislány, ha itt jársz, árnyékod kék óriás
Little girl, when you walk by, your shadow appears as a blue giant
Megnéz és elvarázsol
It looks and dazzles you
Bámulsz, hogy mi van, nézel, mint a moziban
You stare in wonder, watching as if in a movie theater
És két szép szemedben táncol
And it dances in your beautiful eyes

mint sok magyar távol otthontól , lengyelországban voltam egy koncerten. s ott láttam őket élőben. hihetetlen ahogy a lengyel nézők magyarul énekeltek . ezt felejteni nem lehet. Ha más helyre születnek ők lennének a beatles.
