from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Dudanóta
Language: Hungarian (Magyar) 
János bácsi dudáljon ke,
Hosszú nótát ne húzzon ke!
Gyengék vagyunk, elfáradunk,
Talán ugyan meg is halunk.

Aki dudás akar lenni,
Annak pokolra kell menni,
Annak pedig meg kell lenni
Az ördögnek el kell vinni!

Kicsiny a hordócska,
Jó bor terem benne,
Díl, dúl, dalala,
Didarida, díl dúl dalala.

Nem iszom belõle,
Részeg leszek tõle,
Díl, dúl dalala, didarida, díl dúl
Díl, dúl dalala, didarida, díl dúl...
János bácsi dudáljon ke, stb.
