lyrics

SZÖVEG:
Jaj, de sokat áztam-fáztam,
Mikor kapud előtt álltam,
De már mostan megmelegszem,
Fehér dunnád alá fekszem.

Isten áldjon meg kendteket,
Ti csucsomi legényeket,
De azt se nem mindegyiket,
Csak akik engem szerettek.

Jaj, de csalárd ez a kakas,
Éjfélt kiált, hajnal hasad,
Szívem alól foly a patak,
Jaj, de jó legénynek adtak.

LYRICS IN ENGLISH:

Yay, I was freezing so much
When I used to stand in front of your gate,
But now I am warming up,
Laying myself under your white duvet.

God bless you,
You lads from Csucsom,
But not all of you,
Only those who have loved me.

Yay, this roaster is cheating,
It cries Midnight when the dawn is coming,
A stream is flowing from under my heart,
Yay, I have been given to such a great lad.
