Deary Days

O sad and dreary the days, rolling gray the fog stays, rolling gray the for stays;
O, this consuming long year weighs up-on me always, weighs up-on me always!

O won’t you please me know? Where’s the path you follow? Where’s the path you follow?
O, I would plow it with my golden plow of sorrow, golden plow of sorrow!

There, beads of pearl I would sow, seeding ev’ry furrow, seeding ev’ry furrow;
O, I would water them well with my tears of sorrow, with my tears of sorrow!

Hej, Bura Termett Ido

Hej, bura termett ido, kod nevelo szello, kod nevelo szello!
Hej, megemesztett engem ez as edgy esztendo, ez as edgy esztendo.

Hej, ha en at tudhatnam, melyik uton megy el, melyik uton megy el,
Hej, felszantanam en azt aranyos ekevelm aranyos ekevel.

Hej, be is boronalnam apro gyongyszemekkel, apro gyongyszemekkel,
Hej, meg is ontozom azt suru konnyeimmel, suru konnyeimmel.

Love Is Like A Balm

Rugged rock a looming, roses on it blooming:
Love is such a splendid thing!
What a soothing feeling, like a balm it’s healing,
Calming to the heart in woe;
Love is but a dream though, if you’ve never known it’s glow;
O how sad if it is so!

Magas Kosziklanak Oldalabol Nyilik

Magas kosziklanak as oldalabol nyilik,
A szerelem orvossag.
Ki as en szivemet, banatos lelkemet
Mindenkoron gyogyitja.
Aki a szerelmet soha nem probalta,
Csak alomnak alitja.

The Citron Tree

Lovely leaves and branches make a citron tree!
Dearest heart, how can they part us, you and me?
Like the star when parted from its shining beams,
So shall I be parted from my sweetest dreams.

On my house a lovely star shed all its rays!
Many were that did on her envy gaze;
Many that for bade the star its lonely glow;
Never more to shine and soothe me in my woe.

Kind my mother was and bred me tenderly!
Still she does not know that I’m so unhappy;
Oh were she to know and see my misery,
Day and night she would forever weep for me.

A Citrusfa Levelestul, Agastul

A citrusfa levelestul, agastul,
Kisangyalom, hogy vallunk el egymastul?
Ugy elvalunk, kisangyalom, egymastul,
Mint a csillag fenyes ragyogastul.

Hazunk elott csak edgy csillag ragyogott,
Annak a csillagnak sok irigye volt;
Eltiltottak tolem at a csillagot,
Mely as ejjel ablakomba ragyogott.

Edesanyam gyengen nevelt engemet,
Megse tudja, hogy mennyire szenvedek;
O, ha tudna as en bus eletemet,
Ejjel, nappal siratgatna engemet.

Some Day You’Ll Be Mine

As the rooster cry says that is nigh,
If the Lord forme ordained you, some day you‘ll be mine!
Wait, Bird of mine!Some day you’ll be mine!
In the forest, in the meadow, Walks a bird, sublime!
What is she and why Is she walking by?
She’s a bird of green and blue She’s waiting there for you!
Wait bird divine! Some day you‘ll be mine!
If the Lord for you ordained me, some day I’ll be thine!
Wait bird of mine! Some day you’ll be mine!

Szol A Kakas Mar

Szol a kakas mar, majs megvirrad mar.
Ha as Isten nekem rendelt, enyem leszel mar!
Varj madar, varj! Te csak mindig varj!
Zold erdoben, zold mezoben setal egy madar!
Micsoda madar? Micsoda madar?
Kek a laba, zold a szarnya, engem oda var!
Varj madar, varj! Te csak mindig varj!
Ha as Isten neked rendelt, tied leszek mar!
Varj, madar, varj! Te csak mindig varj!

My Little Love

My little love is dressed for her wedding;
Snow-white my Rose is, snow-white she’s wearing.
Turn to me, O turn to me my bridge, my darling;
Turn to me, O turn to me bridge, my darling!

Kis Kece Lanyom

Kis kece lanyom feherbe vagyon,
Feherbe, rozsam, feherbe vagyon.
Mondom, mondom, fordulj hozzam matkam-asszony!
Mondom, mondom, fordulj hozzam matkam-asszony!

Cricket’S Wedding

Cricket lad is marrying Lord Mosquito’s daughter,
Slipping, slopping is the louse, best man should be smarter;
Jerking, jumping up the flee, best man, too, pretending;
Ev’ry kind of ugly bug wants to be attending.

Stork is second violin, little frog the fluter,
Buzzing hornet, bass viol, turkey the conductor;
Monkey jumps and does a jig, thru the polka chases,
Bandit owl’s eyeing him, nursing hopes for sausage.

Burly wolf the butcher is, six oxen did slaughter,
Outside these, full fifty pigs, straight way he did throttle;
Mother goat the famous cook made Hungarian gulash;
While the feast was going on, cricket lad escaped,(gosh!)

Hazasodik A Tucsok

Hazasodik a tucsok, szunyog lanyat keri,
Csiszeg-csoszog a tetu, nasznagy akar lenni,
Odaugrik a boha, vofeny akar lenni,
Mindenfele csuf bogar vendeg akar lenni.

Golya volt a szekundas, kis beka flotas,
Dongo darazs a brugos, pulyka volt a primas.
Tancba ugrik a majom, megjarja a polkat,
Hires betyar a bagoly, lesi a hurkajat.

Farkas volt a meszaros, hat okrot levagott,
A melle meg malacot otvenet megfojtott.
Kecske volt a szakacsne, jo gulyahust fozott,
Mig az ebed elkeszult, a tucsok megszokott!

Ho, My Lady, Lady, O

Ho, my lady, lady O, To the town why do you go?
Give a coin, give me a coin, to old lady Ergo!
Let ‘er go, let ‘er go. To her cozy burrow!
“Priest am I, master workman, I may say a word or two then;
Forfeit I’ll be wining, when you’re laughing, grinning!”

“How’s a rooster?” – “Dollar-two, Sir!”
“And your hens are?” – “Same as they are.”
“Boys are how much?” – “Two old peanuts”
“And your girls?” – “Crooked curls”
“What’s a bull?” – “Taffy pull”
“And your cows?” – “Moo, moo, wows.”

“And your hen?” – ”Cluck, cluck, cluck.”
“How’s your dog?” – ”Bow, wow, wow!”
“And your cat?” – ”Meow, meow!”

Ej Gorbenye, Gorbenye

Ej gorbenye, gorbenye, mit jarsz a faluba?
Adjatok, adjatok szegeny gorbenyenek,
Hadd menjen, hadd menjen varos pincejenek.
Pap vagyok, mester vagyok, egyet-kettot szabad szolni,
Zalogot kell venni, aki fog nevetni.

Hogy van a kakas? – Harom garas.
Hat a tyuk? – As is ugy.
Hat a legeny? – Edgy par lepeny.
Hat a leany? – Egy zsak csalan.
Aki nevet, zalogot ad.

Picking one for his flame!

Boom Boom Boom

See the Virags’ lights are glist’ning,
Breaded frogs are sizzling, fizzling.
Zim-me zoom, zim-me zoom, ret-se fit-se boom, boom, boom!

Marry’s busy at her munching,
Round and round a leg she’s crunching.
Zim-me zoom, zim-me zoom, ret-se fit-se boom, boom, boom!

Gabriel is late and fuming,
He is just got the ears for morning!
Zim-me zoom, zim-me zoom, ret-se fit-se boom, boom, boom!

Virageknal Ega Vilag

Virageknal eg a vilag,
Sutik mar a rantott bekat,
Zimezum, zimezum,
Recefice, bum-bum-bum.

Biro Marcsa odakapott,
Bekacombot ropogtatott.
Zimezum, zimezum,
Recefice, bum-bum-bum.

Puskas Gabor keson futott,
Neki csak a fule jutott,
Zimezum, zimezum,
Recefice, bum-bum-bum.

The Wily Butcher

Kolozsvar, o what a fortress!
Nine locks has its gate no less;
In it lives a wily butcher.
John Virag by name, no other!

Cordovan are boots on his feet,
Golden spurs that can’t be beat;
He can click them one the other,
From them red carnations flutter.

At my door he clicks them fourscore!
My gay heart he pricks so sore;
Stop your clicker my tormentor!
My gay heart embitter no more!

Kolozsvaros Olyan Varos

Kolozsvaros olyan varos
A kapuja kilenczaros
Abban lakik edgy meszaros,
Kinek neve Virag Janos.

Kordovan csizma lábába
Sarig sarkantyu van rajta.
Osszeveri legenymodra,
Kull a csokros szekfu rola.

Kapum elott osszevri,
Vig szivemet keseriti.
Kapum elott ne veregesd,
Vig szivemet ne keseritsd.

God Be With You

In the twinlight, by the forest,
Pillowed on my mantle I rest;
Folding my hands in silent prayer,
There I pleaded God’s love and care.

My dear Lord, O give me a home!
Leave me not forever to roam!
Ever to roam, ever to hide,
And with strangers always to bide.

God be with you, bid you goodnight!
May he send you angels of light!
Soothing your dreams with pure delight!
God be with you, all through the night!
God be with you all through the night!

Erdo Mellett Estveledtem

Erdo mellett estveledtem,
Subam fejem ala tettem;
Osszetettem ket kezemet,
Ugy kertem jo Istenemet.

En Istenem, adjal szallast,
Mar meguntam a jarkalast;
A jarkalast, a bujdosast;
As idegen foldon lakast.

Adjon Isten jo ejszakat!
Kuldje hozzank szent angyalat;
Batoritsa szivunk almat;
Adjon Isten jo ejszakat!

Adjon … Isten … jo … ejszakat!

Our Campfire Song

Breezes are humming, campers are slumb’ring;
Campers are slumb’ring, campfire is burning;
Tend it, tend it, tend the fire, tend it well for
God konows only if we’ll ever see one once more.

Murmuring breezes faintly are moaning;
Small village bells are softly intoning;
Hear the bells go ding-a-linging, ding-dong, ding-dong.
Deep in us we hear the echo: ding-dong ding-dong!

Szello Zug Tavol

Szello zug tavol, alszik a tabor;
Alszik a tabor, csak a tuz langol;
Rakd meg, rakd meg, cserkessz-pajtas at a tuzet,
Isten tudja mikor latunk megint ilyet.

Szellozugasnak faradt a hangja.
Kis falucskanak szol a harangja.
Szol a harang, grilling-galang, bim-bam, bim-bam,
Lelkunk melyen kel ra visszhang, bim-bam, bim-bam.

Hungarian National Anthem

Gracious God, bless the Magyar,
With good cheer, prosperity,
In the ravages of war,
Shield them from adversity;
Whom from old ill fate has torn,
Bring us to a happy morn!
Long have we atoned and
Mourn for past and years unborn!

Magyar Himnusz

Isten, aldd meg a magyart
Jokedvvel, boseggel,
Nyujts feleje vedo kart,
Ha kuzd ellenseggel.
Balsors akit regen tep,
Hozz rea vig esztendot,
Megbunhodte mar e nep
A multat s jovendot.
