from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Csujogató
Language: Hungarian (Magyar) 
Hej, legény, a táncba,
Itt a leány, szedd ráncba!
Ugrasd, forgasd, mint orsót,
Köszöntsd reá a korsót!
Hej, élet, gyöngyélet,
Ez az élet gyöngyélet!
Sarkantyúd zörögjön,
Fényes patkód dörögjön,
Kezed-lábad mozogjon,
A lejtűre hajoljon!
Hej, élet, gyöngyélet,
Ez az élet gyöngyélet!
Kedve ma kinek nincs,
Annak egy csepp esze sincs;
Üsd össze a bokádat,
Úgy ugrasd a babádat!
Hej, élet, gyöngyélet,
Ez az élet gyöngyélet!
