Four people

She is helpful,kind, and nice,
she can give me good advice.
She always helps me, when I ask for it
but sometimes she's enigmatic.

He is really crazy,
his mind is hazy.
He likes football,
but Italian?- Not at all.

She's outgoing and cheerful,
she studies at Corvinus.
She's crazy about cooking
-like me-
and she loves rings
and green tea.

He's jesting and shrewd,
he likes healthy food.
He can make everybody smile,
he has a very good style.

On Friday we met with Carl
he has earplugs and cool hair
we were sitting at Szimpla Kert
But the weather was awful.

On Saturday we met with Larry
he has no hair and wears only jogging
we were sitting in a flat with a view on the river
But some crazy people were there.

On Sunday we met with Nate
he has no hair but he is my favourite
we were walking on the Filatori Gát
But I had to go to the toilet.

If I had to choose one boy of them
I'd be frustrated because I can't
It's easier to change them day by day
But please keep my secret and let me go on my way.

"My mother was a teacher,
She did not love it,
She went to study foreign trade,
And she was in Csepel a bit.

My father was a TV man,
He worked a lot of time,
He's a really good driver,
And he love to cook to us.

My brother's name is Bence,
She playes a lot of match,
He always playing football,
And he doesn't do his preps.

I have a lot of friends,
They're very smart and well,
The life is very funny,
Just it resambles to hell."

My mother is Györgyi Dudás,
She is very nice,
She doesn't like any meat,
Once she's broken her knee.

My father is Attila Bősz,
he really loves to use computers.
He is very smart, but stubborn,
In cinema he doesn't eat popcorn.

My grandma, Terézia is a good chef.
She's never seen any football match.
She always listens to a music channel.
She's ridden a camel.

We've had a bunny.

My friends

Judy is a special friend of mine
She knows everything that I’ve ever done
She’s like two person in one
Sometimes really depressed, otherwise just fun.

Réka is my friend, everybody thinks we are the same
We both thinks that for us it’s a shame
Sometimes we can’t stand each other
But vodka always makes us together.

My favourit friend is my mother
But God knows how we can live together
Rumour keeps us alive
She thinks it’s the essence of life.

I don’t feel lonely, but if I would
My friends are the best cure
I’ve faced sadness which was like a killer
But it made me stronger than ever.

Friends

Angi Pataki is very silly,
Sometimes she makes me crazy,
Because she talks about the fact,
That she feel herself fat.

The person next to me is Dorka,
We often drink together vodka.
She is a good friend of mine,
But sadly, she can not stand wine.

Nikol Kovács is the cutiest one,
And she almost always in love.
Nikol has the biggest problems,
Usually, we just laugt at that.

I started to talk about friends,
But I could never stop that.
I did not want to hurt anyone,
Because I really love everyone.

I love my dad, Gábor
his strong personality and smiley face
His bald head and grizzled beard,
Like a good player, he sees life as a race.

Zsuzsanna, my sweet mum,
I admire her diligence and kindness,
She gives me her shoulder when I crush
My love for her is endless

There’s a guy, another Gábor,
he is more my friend, than my brother
We share every little moment of our lives
With each other.

People all around me everywhere I see
Blond, brunette, tall, kind, old, young
Attractive, mean or lonely
Generous poor and beautiful liars
My world without them would be empty.

I have two younger brothers,
They're more important than others,

I hope it will end never
To summerize what I feel,

Which is sometimes good or even bad
We have always the same opinion
After he dies, he can't be part of oblivion

I also love the mom of mine
Sometimes, we have a rupture, but it's fine
But without her, I wouldn't survive
When I can't do something, she helps me contrive

My sister's sometimes horrible
Or sometimes pretends to be an angel
There's just a rule: don't disturb her
And you could live for years in peace together

We may not see each other to often
But I know that inside you have a great heart
You seem a bit rude sometime
But I can talk to you anytime

Nicest, calmest, kindest
These are my words for you
You always help me in trouble
I hope I can do that for you too.

You woke me up every morning
But now you don't have that effect on me
You shouldn't talk that much
But if you do, I'll keep saying: hush!

Last but not least,
You come out from the mist
You are always there for me
Could we keep it this way, please?

I dont love anyone else as much as him

My mom and I, we fight a lot
That's our way of showing the love,
Without her I'd be doomed
Left without advice and food.

And there's my little sister Sonja,
She's like a little me, kinda,
There's no damn word that rymes to Sonja,
But I still love her a lot. Sonja.

As years pass by I realize
More and more, how important
My family is and how helpless
and alone would I be without them.
If I could get to choose again,
I'd never choose anyone else, but them.

He believes that college
And humanities have value,
And if I'm talented for them,
The world should support me.
And even if it doesn't,
My choices should depend on myself,
Not on money.

My brother isn't like me,

To remain proud and separate -
