Elmeslem nektek az erdlyi Tordai-hasadk keletkezsnek trtnett.In the old days King St Laszlo and his troops

Hajdanban Szent Lszl kirlyunk seregvel ...Had a battle near the town of Torda

Torda krnykn tkztt megWith the Kun troops

A Kun hadakkalThe two armies formed lines opposite each other

Felsorakozott egymssal szemben a kt hadThere were lots of Kuns

Kun annyi volt mint a fszlAnd then the two armies made a move towards each other.

Aztn megindult a kt seregThey both marched threateningly

Fenyegeten kzeltettek egyms felThe troops started to fight.

A kt sereg sszecsapott egy mssalA bloody battle evolved

Vres harc alakult kiThere were less and less soldiers in St Laszlos army

Szent Lszl csapatai egyre fogyatkoztakMany Hungarian soldiers died

Hullottak a magyar harcosokAnd they were just killeds csak hullottak

Laszlo called his people back

Lszl visszavonult fvatott,In order not to lose them all

Nehogy odavesszen seregeThe Hungarians started to march in the direction of the mountains near Torda

A Magyarok a Torda feletti hegy irnyba kezdek vonulniThe Kuns started to follow them

A Kunok rgtn a nyomukba eredtekGet them! Get them! Cried the Kuns

Utna! Utna!- ordtottk a KunokThey knew if they get Laszlo they will get Hungary too

Tudtk ha Lszlt elfogjk vk lesz a Magyar fldThey all started to chase King Laszlo

Mindannyian a kirly utn vetettk magukatLaszlos horse was running very fast so it became very very tired Lszl paripjt mr vres hab verte ki

and the Kuns got very close to him

Mgis egyre kzelebb rtek hozzThey almost reached him with their axes

Mr a fejszikkel is majdnem levghattk volnaLaszlo looked up in the sky and called GodLszl feltekintett az gre s Istenhez fohszkodott

Help me God, I fought for you

,,Szabadts meg Uram ,hiszen retted harcoltam!God listened to Laszlos prayer

Isten meghallgatta Szent Lszl imjt And made a miracle

s csodt tettHe divided the mountain behind the King

Kettrepesztette a hegyet a kirly mgttThe Kuns and their horses got scared

A Kunok rettegve fogtk vissza lovaikatBecause there was a very big gorge in front of them

Mert hatalmas szakadk ttongott elttkThis is how St Laszlo and his army escaped

gy meneklt meg Szent Lszl seregeAccording to the legend this is the true story of how Torda gorge was formed
