I want to be loved

I am no heir, no proud ancestor,
I have no friend, no brother, sister,
I have never belonged,
I have never belonged.

I am, like every human:
Highness, Iceberg, enigma, strange and timeless,
Distant will-o'-the-wisp,
Distant will-o'-the-wisp.

But, oh, I can't remain unspoken,
I have to bare myself wide open,
Behold me, everyone,
Behold me, everyone.

In all self-torture, in every song,
I want to be loved, to belong.
Belong to somebody,
Belong to somebody.

Ady, Endre
