This is a Hungarian virtue! An amazing flashmob in Debrecen – VIDEO

Three Hungarian cities, Debrecen, Győr and Veszprém have submitted bids for Europe’s 2023 Cultural Capital title.

The three cities in the east, northwest and west, respectively, were selected by a body of the European Commission in February this year based on preliminary plans for a one-year cultural programme.

Representatives of the selection committee will now visit each city and make a final decision at a session on December 13-14.

Debrecen 2023 – Flashmob

Debrecen 2023 presents: Flashmob by Hajdú Folk Dance Ensemble of Debrecen and Pendely Vocal Ensemble.

Location: downtown market hall. Debrecen, 2018

 

The song in English:
“On the top of tower of Ladány
A raven sits in pure black.
That raven, my love, mourns us,
They want, but they can’t, forbid us from each other.

There is a house in the Ladány village.
I’m going there, even my heart hurts.
Every time I pass by this house
Every time, my little angel, I think of you”

The song in Hungarian:
A ladányi, a ladányi torony tetejébe 
Ül egy holló tiszta feketébe. 
Az a holló, sej-haj babám minket gyászol, 
El akarnak, de nem tudnak tiltani egymástól. 

A ladányi faluvégen áll egy cserepes ház. 
Abba járok, még a szívem is fáj. 
Valahányszor arra megyek el előtte, 
Mindannyiszor kisangyalom, te jutsz az eszembe.

Cultural Capital is a European Union initiative aimed at highlighting shared cultural characteristics across the community, while promoting cultural diversity as well as the international character of cities through culture.
