Duna, Duna, lyric video sample
- Song language Hungarian
- 30-second excerpt
Style and material
A quiet night song about the Danube, two river banks and the light that brings people home: that is the Hungarian song “Duna, Duna”. The mood is tender and calm. A shadow theatre: black cut-out silhouettes, a lantern, a tram and a lit window on warm plaster walls, with a bridge made of lights between the two banks. Every sung line is lettered in a different form, such as light, cut-out paper letters or small bulbs. The scenes were chosen from the words of the song, such as the raindrop on a sleeve, the window on the far bank, the lantern, the bridge of light and the name carried home, not from a general river look.
About this clip
Duna, Duna is a 30-second lyric video sample for a song in Hungarian.
Visual style: shadow theatre, black cut-out silhouettes and light on plaster walls. A shadow theatre: black cut-out silhouettes and beams of light on plaster walls, a bridge made of lights over the river, and every line lettered in a different form, such as light, cut paper or small bulbs.
Across the clip: The clip is built from dark silhouettes against warm, rough plaster walls lit in amber and night blue. It begins with an umbrella dripping raindrops, moves to the dark outline of a building with a row of lit windows and a street lamp, and then to the river at night with small lights floating on the water. A lone lamp post, a dark gap between walls and a small house with one lit window close the clip.
The first and the last line of the clip:
“A kabátod ujján esőcsepp remeg,”
“A víz a nevünket hazaviszi.”

Lyrics (caption text)
The same text as the captions of the video.
A kabátod ujján esőcsepp remeg,
Te rám nevetsz, s a part továbbvezet.
A túlpart ablakában apró tűz ég,
A Duna viszi, amit nem mondtunk még.
Duna, Duna, őrizd ezt az éjt,
Hídjaid fénye fűzze össze a két part szélét.
Ha reggel majd elindulunk megint,
A víz a nevünket hazaviszi.
