Translation from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Így kezdődik a Kalevala
 (Sung text for setting by Z. Kodály)
 Matches base text
Language: Hungarian (Magyar)  after the Finnish (Suomi) 
Mostan kedvem kerekëdik,
Elmém azon töprenkëdik,
Hogy már dalra kéne kelni,
Ideje lenne énëkelni.

Édës játom, jó barátom,
Gyermëkkori jó pajtásom,
Jer hát énëkeljünk ëgyütt,
Kettesben a nótát kezdjük.

Composition:

    Set to music by Zoltán Kodály (1882 - 1967), "Így kezdődik a Kalevala" [ 2-part chorus ], from Bicinia Hungarica, no. 61
