from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

[No title]
 (Sung text for setting by G. Ligeti)
 Matches base text
Language: Hungarian (Magyar) 
Kiszáradt a tóbul mind a sár, mind a víz,
a szegín barom is csak a pásztorra níz:
Istenem, teremtőm, adj egy csendes esőt.
A szegín jószágnak jó legelő mezőt,
a szegín bojtárnak hű, igaz szeretőt.

Esik eső, esik, a lovam kinn ázik,
sallangos kantárja hej, de nagyon ázik!
Esik eső, esik, nem lehet elbúni:
Ezt a szilaj mínest szélnek kell fordítni.

És a hideg eső, rakáson a gulya,
rí a veres bornyú, bőg az ídesanyja.
Sér a veres bornyú, bőg az ídesanyja.
Bort iszik a gulyás számadó bojtárja.

Composition:

    Set to music by György Ligeti (1923 - 2006), no title [ choral, a cappella ], from Hortobágy, no. 1
