from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Száraz ágtól messze virít a rózsa
 (Sung text for setting by B. Bartók)
 Matches base text
Language: Hungarian (Magyar) 
Száraz ágtól messze virít a rózsa;
Bárcsak soha nem szerettelek volna.
Hagytam volna békét a szerelemnek;
Jobb lett volna az én árva fejemnek.
Készebb volnék száz rózsafát kivágni,
Mint hogy tõled gyönge babám megválni.

Composition:
