Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Brauner Bursche führt zum Tanze
Sein blauäugig schönes Kind;
Schlägt die Sporen keck zusammen,
Csardasmelodie beginnt.
Küßt und herzt sein süßes Täubchen,
Dreht sie, führt sie, jauchzt und springt;
Wirft drei blanke Silbergulden
Auf das Zimbal, daß es klingt.

A swarthy young man leads to the dance
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
A swarthy young man leads to the dance
His fair, blue-eyed maiden;
His spurs strike boldly together,
The csárdás medody begins.
He kisses and hugs his sweet little dove,
He whirls her around, leads her, cheers, and jumps;
And he tosses three shining silver pieces
Upon the cymbal so that it jingles.
