from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Dal
 (Sung text for setting by B. Bartók)
 Matches base text
Language: Hungarian (Magyar) 
Sarjut eszik az ökröm
Ha jól lakik, bekötöm,
Úgy menyek a babámhoz,
Tudom elvár magához.

Lefeküdtem, csak alig,
Nem egészen a falig,
Jól meg ölelj engemet,
Le ne essem mellőled.

Dunyhám, párnám de hajlik,
Bejjebb, babám, a falig,
Öleljük egymást hajnalig.
Amíg anyánk aluszik.

        Az én lovam Szajkó,
        Magam pedig Jankó
        Mind a négy lábáról
        Leesett a patkó.

        Csak egy maradt rajta
        S az is kotvog rajta;
        Kovács jó barátom
        Igazítson rajta.

Sarjut eszik az ökröm ... (stb.)
