Video of the Solar Cycle: Szédülés




Bori Péterfy & Love Band (featuring co-auteur Ambrus Tövisházi)'s 4th album was a pleasant spring surprise, kicked off with 2 spectacular videos, including my pick for video of the year for the title track.  Below is Google's translation of the lyrics (by Borbálo herself) with an assist from yours truly (that's eight, ya heard? Or if you're Hungarian, "nyolc".). Suggestions for improvement of the translation are inevitable and welcome.  


Vertigo

Come on, get dizzy!
Colorful, brightly colored veils
You can blindfold my eyes
my hand in search of a hand
just call

Come on, get dizzy!
Your face enchants 
You can blindfold my eyes
Proclaim my name, I'll go after your voice

All night I waited, I called hundreds of thousands of times
thunder in the sky, it is not possible to be taken seriously,
with  all that raging out there in the wind
Lonely delirium, just me and the demons
eyes of fire, before the storm's light

Tonight, everyone dances alone.
Tonight, everyone waits for someone to enchant them

Fierce night storm, tie everything down,
It could fly away in an instant while I wait here alone
while brushing against the wind
Lonely delirium, gone to my bed
If you reach for me, hold on

Tonight, everyone dances alone.
Tonight, everyone waits for someone to enchant them

Come on, get dizzy!
Colorful, brightly colored veils
You can blindfold my eyes
My hand in search of a hand
just call

Come on, get dizzy!
Your face enchants
You can blindfold my eyes
Proclaim my name, I'll go after your voice

All night I waited, I called hundreds of thousands of times
thunder in the sky, it cannot be that you're not here and not yet mine 
Right now you need
my body, the skin of my hand, my eye
on fire in front of the beautiful light

Tonight, everyone dances alone.
Tonight, everyone waits for for someone to enchant them

Come on, get dizzy!
Colorful, brightly colored veils
You can blindfold my eyes
my hand in search of a hand
just call

Come on, get dizzy!
Your face enchants 
You can blindfold my eyes
Proclaim my name, I'll go after your voice

Come on, get dizzy!
Colorful, brightly colored veils
You can blindfold my eyes
my hand in search of a hand
just call

Come on, get dizzy!
Your face enchants 
You can blindfold my eyes
Proclaim my name, I'll go after your voice

Dizziness

As a bonus, the epically cinematic video for Szép Hálott (Beautiful Corpse), which tracks closely with the lyrics of the song.


The rest of the album lives up to the visuals.
