A rab

(Sung text for setting by B. Bartók)

Matches base text

Language: Hungarian (Magyar)

Elhvervadt cidrusfa
A magos hegytetőn
Én is elhervadtam
A börtön fenekén.

Kilenc fontos vasat
Hetet elszaggattam
A nyolcadikat is
Jól elvásítottam.

Anyám, édesanyám,
Menj el az urakhoz
Kérjed levelemet,
Szabad életemet!

Anyám, édesanyám,
Mit mondtak az urak?
Azt mondták az urak,
Hogy felakasztanak!

Béla Bartók
