from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Nem messze van ide kis Margitta
Language: Hungarian (Magyar) 
Choose for Diff
Nem messze van ide kis Margitta,
Hortobágynak vize körül folyja.
Közepibe van egy rongyos csárda,
Abban iszik egy betyár bujába.

Amonnan jön három lovas zsandár,
Egyenest a csárda elibe áll.
"Jóestét, jóestét szép csaplárné,
Hát ez a szép pejló itten kié?"
"Bent borozik ennek a gazdája,
Mos' jött ide nincs egy félórája."

"Küldje ki a pejlónak gazdáját,
Megkérdezem, megadja-e magát."
"Ki sem megyek, meg sem adom magam',
Kinek tetszik hajtsa el a lovam.

Lovam, lovam nem annyira bánom,
Csak a nyereg szerszámom sajnálom.
Nyereg alatt a bugyellárisom,
Abba' hever százezer forintom."
