by Sándor Petőfi (1823 - 1849)

A szerelem, a szerelem
Language: Hungarian (Magyar) 
Our translations:  ENG ENG
A szerelem, a szerelem,
A szerelem sötét verem;
Beleestem, benne vagyok,
Nem láthatok, nem hallhatok.

Őrizem az apám nyáját,
De nem hallom a kolompját;
Rá-rámegy a zöld vetésre,
Hej csak későn veszem észre.

Telerakta édesanyám
Eleséggel a tarisznyám;
Elvesztettem szerencsésen,
Lesz módom a böjtölésben.

Édesapám, édesanyám,
Ne bizzatok most semmit rám,
Nézzétek el, ha hibázok
Tudom is én, mit csinálok!
