Let me begin my own poems
with the translation.

00:00:07.530 --> 00:00:11.570 align:middle line:84%
This is a poem by
a man named Ady,

00:00:11.570 --> 00:00:16.570 align:middle line:84%
may not be very
well-known in America,

00:00:16.570 --> 00:00:21.370 align:middle line:84%
but most Hungarians regard
him as their great poet,

00:00:21.370 --> 00:00:24.220 align:middle line:90%
their Whitman.

00:00:24.220 --> 00:00:26.955 align:middle line:84%
He died in Paris in around
1920, about the same time

00:00:26.955 --> 00:00:31.810 align:middle line:84%
that in fact that Vallejo died
in Paris, equally penniless.

00:00:31.810 --> 00:00:32.740 align:middle line:90%
A wonderful poet.

00:00:32.740 --> 00:00:40.840 align:middle line:90%


00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:45.400 align:middle line:84%
"Neither descendant
nor lucky ancestor,

00:00:45.400 --> 00:00:50.770 align:middle line:84%
neither relative nor
acquaintance, I am of no one.

00:00:50.770 --> 00:00:54.250 align:middle line:90%
I am of no one.

00:00:54.250 --> 00:01:02.260 align:middle line:84%
I am, as every man, nobility,
North Pole, mystery,

00:01:02.260 --> 00:01:09.640 align:middle line:84%
strangeness, and a distant
light, a distant light.

00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:13.280 align:middle line:84%
But oh God, I can't
take it anymore!

00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:17.770 align:middle line:84%
I would like to reveal myself
so that you may see me,

00:01:17.770 --> 00:01:20.490 align:middle line:90%
so that you may know me.

00:01:20.490 --> 00:01:26.610 align:middle line:84%
For this, everything-
self-torture song-

00:01:26.610 --> 00:01:31.730 align:middle line:84%
I would love to be loved
and to belong to someone,

00:01:31.730 --> 00:01:34.090 align:middle line:90%
and to belong to someone."
