Joker Jogger -Kacagó Kocogó - -English And Hungarian



Joker jogger
jogs and jokes

and in the park
the panhandler

a bald squirrel
is staring at him for long

staring and staring
along

with an ancient,
ancient lady

as the joker jogger
advances daily,

jogs and jokes
and sometimes he stops

and then he runs further
again
again.

Yet by and by
the sky, the sky

turns gray and cloudy
and eventually

the ancient lady
also hints and winks.

But then really, really,
chirps a bird, now

all this
already is
enough
enough.

Kacagó kocogó
kocog és kacag.

A parkban egy koldus
kopasz mókus

hosszan nézi
nézi, nézi,

meg egy
régi-régi néni

ahogy
halad

kacagó kocogó
kocog és kacag

néha megáll
aztán tovább szalad

megint
megint

de már szürke
és felhős az ég,
az ég

s a régi néni is int
és kacsint

de tényleg
mondja egy madár
ebből már

elég
elég.
