by Sándor Petőfi (1823 - 1849)

Ereszkedik le a felhő
Language: Hungarian (Magyar) 
Ereszkedik le a felhő,
Hull a fára őszi eső,
Hull a fának a levele,
Mégis szól a fülemile.

Az óra jó későre jár.
Barna kislyány, alszol-e már?
Hallod-e a fülemilét,
Fülemile bús énekét?

Záporeső csak ugy szakad,
Fülemile csak dalolgat.
Aki bús dalát hallgatja,
Megesik a szíve rajta.

Barna kislyány, ha nem alszol,
Hallgasd, mit e madár dalol;
E madár az én szerelmem,
Az én elsohajtott lelkem!
