„Beli fiam, beli, aludj fiam lelkem! Fogsze majd gondozni, hej, mikor megöre – egszem?“ „Foglak, anyám, foglak, amig legény leszek; ha meghásasodom, hej, tetőled elme – egyek. Mmm, aludjál, aludjál, engem békén hagyjál! Amig békén nem hagysz, mmm, addig el nem alhatsz. Mmm, zöld erdőbe menj el, fehér inged vedd fel; ingecskéd fehérlik, mmm, a zöld erdőn végig. Mmm, fehér ingecskédet Maris varrta néked, zöldelő berekbe mmm, selyemmel himezte. Beli fiam, beli, fehérszárnyú tünder! A fekete földbe, hej, csak el ne repü – ülnél! Beli, kicsi fiam, beli . . .

Dors, mon chéri, dors, Mon petit bébé ! Prendras-tu soin de moi Hei, quand je serai vieille ? Je prendrai soin de toi, maman, Jusqu'à ce que je me marie ; Une fois marié, Hei, alors je partirai et je te quitterai. Dors, dors, Ne me cause pas de souci ! Tant que tu ne me laisses pas tranquille, tu ne pourras dormir. Va dans la forêt verte, mets ta chemise blanche ; que ta chemise blanche brille dans la forêt verte. Ta chemise blanche brille, Elle a été cousue par Marie, dans les champs verts, Elle l'a brodée avec de la soie. Dors, mon chéri, dors, Mon petit ange blanc, Jusqu'au sol noir, hei ! ne vole pas ! Dors, mon enfant chéri, dors...
