Valaki jár a fák hegyén
Platon Karataev Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ki gyújtja s oltja csillagod
csak az nem fél kit a remény
már végképp magára hagyott
én félek még reménykedem
ez a megtartó irgalom
a gondviselő félelem
valaki jár a fák hegyén
vajon amikor zuhanok
meggyújt-e akkor még az én
tüzemnél egy új csillagot
vagy engem is egyetlenegy
sötétlő maggá összenyom
s nem villantja föl lelkemet
egy megszülető csillagon
valaki jár a fák hegyén
mondják úr minden porszemen
mondják hogy maga a remény
mondják maga a félelem
The lyrics of Platon Karataev's song "Valaki jár a fák hegyén" speak to the themes of hope, abandonment, and the search for meaning amidst uncertainty. The opening line, "valaki jár a fák hegyén" translates to "someone walks on the trees on the mountain." This line suggests the presence of an unknown entity or force that has the power to both ignite and extinguish one's personal star or guiding light.
The following lines convey a sense of fear and longing for hope. The singer confesses that they still fear and hold onto hope, finding solace in the mercy and redemption that comes with it. However, they also acknowledge the constant presence of a haunting fear, like a guardian or guide, that has journeyed with them throughout their life.
The second verse continues to explore the singer's vulnerability and uncertainty. They question whether this unknown entity, the one who walks on the trees on the mountain, will still light a new star in their fire when they are falling or in times of despair. Or, will they be reduced to darkness, crushed by the weight of their own existence, without the guidance of a new star.
The final lines suggest that this unknown entity is the embodiment of both hope and fear. They are considered the Lord of every speck of dust, the personification of both hope and fear. It is through this duality that the singer seeks to find meaning and purpose in their journey.
Overall, "Valaki jár a fák hegyén" offers a contemplative perspective on the complexities of human emotions, exploring the interplay between hope, fear, abandonment, and the search for guidance amidst uncertainty.

valaki jár a fák hegyén
Someone walks on the mountains of trees
ki gyújtja s oltja csillagod
Who ignites and extinguishes your star
csak az nem fél kit a remény
Only those who are not afraid that hope
már végképp magára hagyott
Has completely abandoned themself
én félek még reménykedem
I am still fearful and hopeful
ez a megtartó irgalom
This is the sustaining mercy
a gondviselő félelem
The providential fear
kísért eddigi utamon
Haunts my path until now
valaki jár a fák hegyén
Someone walks on the mountains of trees
vajon amikor zuhanok
I wonder, when I fall
meggyújt-e akkor még az én
Will they still light my
tüzemnél egy új csillagot
fire with a new star
vagy engem is egyetlenegy
Or will they crush me
sötétlő maggá összenyom
into a dark seed
s nem villantja föl lelkemet
and not flash my soul
egy megszülető csillagon
on a newborn star
valaki jár a fák hegyén
Someone walks on the mountains of trees
mondják úr minden porszemen
They say, Lord, on every speck of dust
mondják hogy maga a remény
They say that hope itself
mondják maga a félelem
They say that fear itself

Lyrics in English:
Somebody Walks Atop The Trees
somebody walks atop the trees
who lights your star and makes it fade
those do not fear their destinies
whom hope has finally betrayed
my fears my hopes don't disappear
this is the grace that helps me stay
this caring providential fear
has held my hand along the way
somebody walks atop the trees
when I must tumble one fine night
will he then kindle one of his
new stars with my departing light
or will he crush me to a grain
a dark abandoned piece of grit
and never light my soul again
when infant stars are newly lit
somebody walks atop the trees
he cares for every crumb it's said
it's said he is the hope we breathe
it's said he is the fear we dread
by Sandor Kanyadi (1994) (trans. by Peter Zollman)
