A fényes nap immár elnyugodott (“The bright sun has settled down”)— Moldva (Moldavia)

Dedicated to R.S.

lyrics

Lyrics:

A fényes nap immár elnyugodott
A föld szintén sötétben maradott
Nappali fény éjjelre változott
Fáradtaknak nyugodalmat hozott

Minden állat megy nyugodalomra
Az Istentől kirendelt álomra
De én Uram úgy menek ágyamba
Mintha mennék gyászos koporsómba

Midőn ágynak adom a testemet
Deszka közé zárhatom éltemet
Hosszas álom érheti szememet
A kakasszó hozhatja végemet

Vessünk számot hát, édes Istenem
Hogy lelkemet ne kelljen féltenem
Hogy lehessen bátrabban szólanom
Midőn meg kell előtted állanom

Színed előtt mindennap elesem
De te lettél atyádnál kezesem
De megbocsáss, mert szívemből szánom
Könnyek miatt szememben nincs álom

Ne szólíts ki, Uram, készületlen
Vezess előbb az enyhítő kútra
Hogy juthassak a mennyei jussra
Úgy bocsáss el engem a nagy útra.
________________________________

The bright sun has gone down to its repose
The land likewise has been left in darkness
The light of day now transformed into night
Which has brought sweet repose to the weary.

Every creature has gone to peaceful rest
To partake of sleep ordained by God
But I, my Lord, am going to my bed
As if going to my mournful casket.

As I am laying my body down, who knows,
My life may be confined to my bedstead
A very long sleep could overcome my eyes
The cock crowing could announce my demise.

Let’s come to a reckoning, my sweet Lord
So that I need not fear for my soul and
So that I may speak with more confidence
When before you I must take up my stance.

In your presence every day I fall
Yet before your Father you intercede for me
But do forgive me, I am truly sorry,
Due to tears no sleep comes to my eyes.

Do not call me to you, Lord, unprepared
Lead me first to the merciful waters
That I may attain my heavenly abode
Send me forth thus on the long journey.

Translation by Margit Arnoczy
