Pagem 17: Hungarian lyrics illustration attempt #1

First the translation:

P1:
My […] lip prickles from your kiss

P2:
the embrace of your arms

P3:
I'd look back

P4:
You saunter on

P5:
You turn around

P6:
[you] head for me because you see that I'm still standing there,

This is an attempt for one of the illustrations I'm currently doing for the CD the band of my cousin will produce. They're hungarians, so the lyrics are as well. But! I translated them. Now translating from Hungarian to English, well, let's just say that a lot gets lost, and I'm not very poetic either…
Because of the content I was inspired by lilu's art style which I greatly admire.

The whole hungarian lyrics, © by Szabó Rita (if you look at it you'll notice how economical the hungarian language is!)

Hiányzol!

Még csak most váltunk el, engedett karod ölelése,
Még csókodtól bizsereg ajkam, mégis úgy érzem,
Hiányzol!

Hátranéznék, de hiába, már biztos nem talállak,
De tudod, hogy bármikor szívesen viszont látlak,
Hiányzol!

Te is ballagsz tovább, merre visz a lábad,
De benned szavak visszhangoznak - Szeretlek! Várlak!
Hiányzol!

Visszafordulsz, s jössz felém, mert látod, még ott állok,
Átölelsz, s karjaid közt szertefoszlott álmom,
Hiányzol!

Felébredek, s nem talállak magam mellett fekve,
Most már értem, miért gyötört ez álom egész este!
Hiányzol!

De lelkem rendbe rakja a tény, hogy megint találkozunk,
Hogy újra érzem ölelésed, s hogy együtt vagyunk,
Hiányzol!

Még csak most váltunk el, engedett karod ölelése,
Még csókodtól bizsereg ajkam, mégis úgy érzem,
Hiányzol!

My crappy and too literal translation:

I miss you (literally: You are missing and it's me who misses you)
We just separated, the embrace of your arms just faded,
My lip yet prickles from your kiss, but still I feel
(that) I miss you.

I'd look back, but in vain, I surely won't find you,
But you know I'll gladly see you again anytime
I miss you

You saunter on whereto your feet lead you,
But my words echo inside you – I love you!
I wait for you!
I miss you!

You turn around and head for me because you see that I'm still standing there,
You embrace me, and between your arms -my dissolved dream,
I miss you!

I wake up and don't find you lying next to me,
Now I understand why this dream was torturing me the whole night!
I miss you!

But the fact that we'll meet again remedies my soul,
That I'll feel your embrace again and that we'll be together anew,
I miss you!

We just separated, the embrace of your arms just faded,
My lip yet prickles from your kiss, but still I feel
I miss you!
