Crow song
A tame fox locked inside a chicken coopA butterfly with delta wings1
A goldfish in the kitchen sink
A dove of peace in military fatigues
A hopless, lone ant
A racehorse that never won a race
And the stork eating wide mouthed frog2
You're a crow, it's a pity!3
It's such a pity that you're a crow!
You're a crow, it's a pity, don't feel bad about it, you're a crow!
A zebra with a financially successfull kitchen garden
An immoral boar
A vulture in the VHF band4
A goose spinning on a chicken leg5
A sizeable tamed seal
A woodworm ticking in reinforced concrete
And a big city wolf with chickenpox6
You're a crow, it's a pity!
It's such a pity that you're a crow!
You're a crow, it's a pity, don't feel bad about it, you're a crow!
- 1.
- 2. This is a spin on a joke we have in Hungary. It goes like this:
The wide mouthed little frog sets off to see the world.
He runs into a hedgehog.
[When you tell this joke, you say the frog's lines with your mouth as horizontally wide as possible.]
- I'm a wide mouthed little frog. Who are you and what do you eat?
- I'm a hedgehog and I eat insects.
The little frog walks a little further. He runs into a cow.
- I'm a wide mouthed little frog. Who are you and what do you eat?
- I'm a cow and I eat grass.
A few hundred meters away the little frog spots a stork.
- Who are you and what do you eat?
- I'm a stork and I eat wide mouthed little frogs.
[You say the next line while sucking in your cheeks and squeezing your lips into a dot.]
- And have you seen any around here? - 3. There's pun here that I can't translate. In Hungarian the onomatopoetic word for the sound a crow makes is 'kár' (in English it's 'caw' I think) and in Hungarian 'kár' happens to mean 'it's a pity' or 'too bad' (also 'damage').
- 4. Very High Frequency band, a range of radio frequency electromagnetic waves (radio waves) from 30 to 300 megahertz (MHz).
- 5. This is a joke about the palace that spins on a chicken leg, which is an element in fairy tales in Hungary and probably other places too. For exmaple Baba Yaga is a witch in Slavic folklore and she lives in a chicken legged hut.
- 6. There's a pun here that happens to work in English too. Chickenpox is called 'sheep-pox' in Hungarian and wolves are know for preying on sheep but the pun kind of works with chicken as well.

On That Road, Go On!
Versions: #2You have dreamed, you woke up,
You waited for, to be grown up,
You grew up, you have changed,
All your dreams, have turned to dust
Go, on that road go on,
Don't, don't look back no more,
Go! On that road go on!
Don't! Don't look back no more!
You were wrong, you found your way,
You regret what you have done,
The past is past, it's long gone,
What's done is done, and you've when on!
Go! On that road go on!
Don't, don't look back no more!
Go! On that road go on!
Don't! Don't look back, no more!

If I could restart
I saw that you does not fit in your skinI picked you up for the frist time
We were the best in the world
Nothing remained from this
We lived together 10 years
I keep some pictures about you
If you come face to face on the street I do not know you
I do not find you, I do not search for you
Refrain
Everything was tomorrow
Everything happened
You loved me always
With you it would be good if I could restart
A never been little child
Who did not say to us: 'I love you'
Who did not held our hands
Who is not crying and not laughing
