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.

Spanyolgitár legenda
Omega Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wasn't nice, was already played
Thin string, like delicate girl
She touched me and told a tale.
She lived among orange trees
Journeyed from far away
The whole world may come against me
Market place, Spanish blood
Fiery light, all lives in her.
If she is happy, she'll shout
If she hurts, she'll start to cry.
She lived among orange trees
Journeyed from far away
The whole world may come against me
I do not have another weapon.
There is no better mate, you can't find
Wherever you live, wherever you are
Accompanies you, awaits you back
Won't leave you like unfaithful girl.
The lyrics of Omega's song "Spanyolgitár legenda" tells the story of a man who bought a guitar a long time ago, which wasn’t in good condition when he bought it. However, he was drawn to the guitar because it was able to tell him a story through its sound, as if it had a soul of its own. The guitar is described as having delicate strings, like a fragile girl, and as soon as he played it, he was enchanted by its sound. The guitar transported him to a world where he talks about oranges, journeying from far away and the Spanish blood in the market place.
The guitar is personified and described as a companion that will always be faithful to him, unlike a girl, and that no matter where he goes, it will be with him. The guitar represents a powerful force in his life that brings him joy when he is happy and is a source of comfort when he is hurt.
The song is a tribute to the guitar and its significance in the musician's life. It speaks about the beauty of music and how it can transcend language and cultural barriers. The song reminds us that regardless of how much time passes, the music of the guitar will always have the power to transport us to a different time and place.
Line by Line Meaning
Long time ago since I bought her
It has been a long time since I purchased this guitar
Wasn't nice, was already played
The guitar was not in a good condition when I bought it, it had already been played many times
Thin string, like delicate girl
The guitar strings were thin and fragile, almost like a gentle girl
She touched me and told a tale.
When I played the guitar, it seemed to tell a story through its sound
She lived among orange trees
The guitar comes from Spain, a place known for its orange trees
Journeyed from far away
The guitar has traveled a long distance to be with me
The whole world may come against me
No matter what challenges I face, the guitar will stand by my side
I do not have another weapon.
Music is my only weapon, and the guitar is my tool to create it
Market place, Spanish blood
The guitar was likely purchased in a market in Spain where it was made, and it carries the spirit of its Spanish roots
Fiery light, all lives in her.
The guitar radiates a passionate and lively energy that fills the room
If she is happy, she'll shout
When played well, the guitar's sound can be loud and joyful
If she hurts, she'll start to cry.
On the other hand, if played poorly or roughly, the guitar can produce a sad, melancholic sound
There is no better mate, you can't find
The guitar is the perfect companion, there is no equal to it
Wherever you live, wherever you are
No matter where I go, the guitar will always be with me
Accompanies you, awaits you back
The guitar is there to support and comfort me, and will be waiting for me when I return
Won't leave you like unfaithful girl.
The guitar will never betray or abandon me, unlike a disloyal lover
