“A szeretet rózsája (The Rose of Love)” by Loretta & Raymond

Baha’i Blog Studio Sessions is an initiative where we invite Baha’is and their friends from around the world to come into a studio and share the Baha’i Writings put to music.

In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in Budapest, Hungary with Loretta Pál and Raymond Switzer who sing “A szeretet rózsája (The Rose of Love)” in Hungarian based on the Writings of Baha’u’llah. 

This song was filmed and recorded in Budapest, Hungary in April 2023.

LYRICS/QUOTE IN HUNGARIAN:

Ó, barát! Csak a szeretet rózsáját ültesd szíved kertjébe, és ne engedd elröppenni a ragaszkodás és vágy csalogányát! Kincs az igazak barátsága, és kerülj minden barátságot az istentelenekkel!

LYRICS/QUOTE IN ENGLISH:

O FRIEND!

In the garden of thy heart plant naught but the rose of love, and from the nightingale of affection and desire loosen not thy hold. Treasure the companionship of the righteous and eschew all fellowship with the ungodly.
