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.

Tékozló fiúk
Omega Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A tékozló fiúnak
Ki elkérte részét
Boldog volt, hogy indulhat
Nézd, hogy jött vissza
Sem barátja, sem hite
Egy szál ruha rajta
Ma megint sûrû az éj
Kiáltást sodor a szél
Én tudom, egyedül fél
De holnap megint remél
És így lesz, amíg csak él
Elindul és visszatér
Hallottam hírét
Szegény öreg apjának
Ki átadta részét
Legkedvesebb fiának
Tárva-nyitva
Áll éjjel a háza
Úgy hívta vissza
Kapujában állva
Ma megint sûrû az éj
Kiáltást sodor a szél
Én tudom, egyedül fél
De holnap megint remél
És így lesz, amíg csak él
Elindul és visszatér
Hallottam hírét
A nagyobbik testvérnek
Ki nem kérte részét
Megtette, mit kértek
Észre sem vették
Sohasem szerették
Most jön, kéri részét
És így próbál szerencsét
The song Tékozló fiúk by the Hungarian rock band Omega is a poignant portrayal of three brothers and their fateful choices in life, set against the backdrop of a bleak night and a restless wind. The first stanza introduces us to the titular character, the prodigal son who left home with his share of the property and seemed content with his freedom. But now he returns, alone and impoverished, with only his worn clothes as his possession. The imagery of a single garment that he wears - "Egy szál ruha rajta" - conveys his destitution and vulnerability, and hints at his past extravagance and recklessness.
The chorus captures the central theme of the song, the cyclical pattern of hope and fear, of ascent and descent, that characterizes human life. The singer is portrayed as an existential hero who faces his fears and persists in his quest for redemption and meaning. The second stanza shifts the focus to the father of the brothers, who gave his favorite son his fair share and is now waiting for him at the gate, with open arms and a heavy heart. The contrast between the warm, welcoming home and the cold, hostile outside world is accentuated by the repetition of "sûrû az éj" (the night is dense) and "kiáltást sodor a szél" (the wind carries a cry).
Line by Line Meaning
Hallottam hírét / A tékozló fiúnak / Ki elkérte részét / Boldog volt, hogy indulhat
I heard the news about the prodigal son / Who asked for his share and was happy to leave
Nézd, hogy jött vissza / Sem barátja, sem hite / Egy szál ruha rajta / Ez maradt, ez mindene
Look at how he came back / Without friends, without faith / All he has is the clothes on his back / This is all he has left
Ma megint sûrû az éj / Kiáltást sodor a szél / Én tudom, egyedül fél / De holnap megint remél
Tonight is dark again / The wind carries screams / I know he's afraid and alone / But tomorrow he hopes again
És így lesz, amíg csak él / Elindul és visszatér
And so it will be as long as he lives / He leaves and comes back
Hallottam hírét / Szegény öreg apjának / Ki átadta részét / Legkedvesebb fiának
I heard the news about the poor old father / Who gave his share to his beloved son
Tárva-nyitva / Áll éjjel a háza / Úgy hívta vissza / Kapujában állva
His house stands open all night long / Calling him back / Standing at the gate
Hallottam hírét / A nagyobbik testvérnek / Ki nem kérte részét / Megtette, mit kértek
I heard the news about the older brother / Who didn't ask for his share / Did what was asked of him
Észre sem vették / Sohasem szerették / Most jön, kéri részét / És így próbál szerencsét
They didn't even notice him / They never loved him / Now he comes, asking for his share / And tries his luck

-Cont.- The strange thing though, that there is so much already in this song, what was and is the hallmark of Omega later on too. Namely Omega has always reached out above and beyond standard entertainment rock-music. Hungarians who understand the lyrics are really lucky: The song is about the Old Testament story known as 'The prodigal son'. It is in a wonderfully capturing poetic language. -Cont.-
