from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Nosza, legény, a táncba!
Language: Hungarian (Magyar) 
Nosza, legény, a táncba!
Itt a leány, szedd ráncba:
Ugrasd, forgasd, mind orsót;
Köszöntsd reá a korsót!
Ez az élet gyöngyélet!

A sarkantyúd zörögjön,
Fényes patkód dörögjön;
Kezed, lábod mozogjon,
A lejtőre hajuljon!
Ez az élet gyöngyélet!

Hipp-hopp, itt is, amott is,
A mi házunk előtt is
Menjünk táncba, vigadjunk,
Egyet-kettőt ugorjunk!
Ez az élet gyöngyélet!
