By Géza Bereményi, sung originally by Tamás Cseh. Video, sung by Quimby, at Tamás Cseh memorial concert. A rebel called Pierre appears in the film Time Stands Still co-written by Bereményi (thanks Gyuri Baglyas), does anyone else know other references to Benke and Pierre? Original.
At half past two, dawn -- true to their custom
Benke and Pierre appeared in my dream.
I said to them: "so you're here again"
and pulled the blanket up by a bit.
"Tell me, from where did we appear?"
I asked Pierre.
"Tell me, from where did we appear?"
imitated Benke,
and slipped in, next to me.
Then in my next dream Pierre was coughing
so I said, "Benke, reach your arm out,
between the ashtray and the books,
on the chair you'll find a glass of water.
Let's all drink a gulp,
the three of us, and then,
let's put ourselves away til the morning,
Benke, Pierre and me."
