István Kemény

the bee-keeper

I have been a bee-keeper for six thousand years
And for the past hundred years an electrician.
Once I retire I shall keep bees again.
Something should hum for me, oh hum for me,
Hum and hum and hum
Just for me.

A méhész

A méhész

Hatezer évig voltam méhész,
száz éve vagyok villanyszerelö.
Ha nyugdíjba megyek, majd újra méhészkedem.
Valami zümmögjön nekem, zümögjön nekem,
zümögjön nekem, zümögjön nekem,
zümögjön nekem.

Hum and hum and hum
