from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Székely "Friss" 
Language: Hungarian (Magyar) 
Ne busuljon, komámasszony,
Csak az Isten rozsot adjon;
Megisszuk a rozsnak levit,
Dícsérjük az Isten nevit.

Az ördög is elvitt vóna,
Ha féllitres nem lett vóna;
S a féllitres előkerült
S éngem az ördög elkerült.

Arra vigyázz, öregasszony,
Hogy az ördög el ne kapjon,
Bihal bőrbe öltöztessen,
Pokolba bé döcögtessen,
az ördög pokolba bé ne döcögtessen,
hejehaj!
