Ederlezi
Rúzsa Magdi Lyrics

The lyrics to Rúzsa Magdi's song "Ederlezi" express a longing for love and companionship, as well as a sense of loss and longing for someone who is not present. The song combines elements of both Hungarian and Romani languages and cultures, creating a unique and evocative atmosphere.

The opening lines, "Gyere, gyere velem tavasz jár már! / Gyöngyvirág lesz majd a párnám. / Gyöngyvirág lesz majd a párnám. / Örök hűség vár rád!" can be translated to "Come, come with me, spring is already here! / The pillow will turn into a lily of the valley. / The pillow will turn into a lily of the valley. / Eternal loyalty awaits you!" These lines symbolize the arrival of spring, a time of new beginnings and the promise of a love that is steadfast and enduring.

The following verses continue to express longing and desire, with lines like "Gyere, gyere velem hív a hajnal! / Nincsen felhő, nincsen csillag. / Nincsen felhő, nincsen csillag. / Pihenj karjaimban!" which can be translated to "Come, come with me, the dawn is calling! / There are no clouds, there are no stars. / There are no clouds, there are no stars. / Rest in my arms!" These lines convey a sense of solitude and the need for companionship, as well as a desire to escape from the darkness and find solace in the embrace of a loved one.

The latter part of the song, sung in Romani language, adds another layer to the lyrics. Lines like "Proljeće na moje rame slijeće, / Đurđevak zeleni, / Đurđevak zeleni, / Svima osim meni" translate to "Spring lands on my shoulder, / Green lilacs, / Green lilacs, / To everyone but me" express a feeling of exclusion and loneliness, as the singer sees others finding happiness and love, but not themselves.
