Paroles et traduction Olah Ibolya - Voltam Ibojka

Voltam Ibojka

Voltam erős voltam gyenge
Voltam szétesve s összeesve
Voltam csillag voltam fecske
S voltam egy kislány eldobott teste

Voltam boldog s voltam árva
Voltam szabad és voltam bezárva
Voltam én már majdnem minden
Csak megfelelő fehér ember az nem az nem

Voltam éhes s voltam duci
Majd szétpattant rajtam a ruci
Voltam homeless s voltam az őrsön
Voltam mátra és voltam börzsöny

Voltam jól is s voltam lázas
De sohase nem voltam teljesen százas
Voltam hisztis voltam csendes
Csak valahogy sosem voltam rendes
M e g f e l e l ő fehér ember az nem az nem

Kaptam virágot kaptam piát
Szórtam az átkot és rebegtem imát
K u s s o l t a m ne bántson a világ
De sohase kaptam amnesztiát

Voltam doktor s voltam beteg
Voltam ócska és voltam remek
Voltam hős és voltam gyáva
Voltam piszkos és voltam tiszta
Csak megfelelő fehér ember az nem sohasem

Voltam fiúval és voltam lánnyal
Kirándulni nagy hátizsákkal
Voltam veled és voltam mással
Szembe' velem – és a nagyvilággal

Voltam gazdag – huszonhat percig
Voltam szenya s voltam hercig
Voltam híres és voltam porszem
S a végén maradtam egyszem
Magamban
ó ó

Aztán lettem az aki eddig
Hogyha kellett megmondom meddig várok még
Hátha eljössz s végre itt leszel és azt mondod
Gyere Ibojka nekem még te is jó
Jó leszel...

I Have Been

I have been strong, I have been weak
I have been broken and I have been beat
I have been a star, I have been a sparrow
And I have been the discarded body of a little girl

I have been happy and I have been poor
I have been free and I have been imprisoned
I have been almost everything, my darling
Except for a good little white girl

I have been hungry and I have been fat
My clothes have almost burst
I have been homeless and I have been on watch
I have been Mátra and I have been Börzsöny

I have been well and I have been sick
But I have never been completely healthy
I have been hysterical, I have been quiet
But somehow I have never been good
A good little white girl, no, no

I have received flowers, I have received alcohol
I have cursed and I have prayed
I have kissed to keep the world away
But I have never received amnesty

I have been a doctor and I have been a patient
I have been vulgar and I have been perfect
I have been a hero and I have been a coward
I have been dirty and I have been clean
But I have never been a good little white girl

I have been with a man and I have been with a woman
I have gone on a trip with a large backpack
I have been with you and I have been with someone else
Facing me – and the big world

I have been rich – for twenty-six minutes
I have been filthy and I have been charming
I have been famous and I have been a speck of dust
And in the end, I am left alone
All by myself
Oh, oh

Then I became what I am now
If you need to, I will tell you how long I will wait
Maybe you will come and finally be here and say
Come on Ibojka, even you will be enough for me
You will be enough...
