from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Esti Dal
Language: Hungarian (Magyar) 
Our translations:  DUT ENG
Erdő mellett est vélëdtem,
Subám fejem alá tëttem,
Összetëttem két kezemet,
Úgy kértem jó Istenëmet:
Én Istenëm, adjál szállást,
Már mëguntam a járkálást,
a bujdosást,
Az idegën földön lakást.
Adjon Isten jó éjszakát,
Küldje hozzám szent angyalát,
Bátoritsa szívünk álmát,
Adjon Isten jó éjszakát,
mmm...
