The lamb and the shepherd boy
Song
1. There is a tree in Baron Endre's yard, ; A shepherd boy is playing the flute under it, ; The sound of a flute is heard in the window, ; The baron's daughter is awake, listening. ; ; 2. Baron Endre's window is open, ; A black-eyed lamb looks out of it, ; She sighs three times to herself, 'My God, why did I become a baron's daughter. ; ; 3. -What's wrong with the great miss? ; That her window is still open. ; -Oh, you shepherd, may your mouth be sweet, ; That you play the flute so beautifully for me. ; ; 4. The clock has struck two after midnight, ; But the flute still plays beautifully, ; Let fog rise before me, fog behind me, ; That my father may not find me anywhere. ; ; 5. Baron Endre the next day early in the morning, ; He walked out to the nearest farm, ; He asks the shepherd, ; Has he seen the noble young lady? ; ; 6. I have not seen her, my lord, if I may say, ; Three weeks ago I have a shepherdess there, ; Three weeks ago I have a shepherdess there, ; The noble young lady went away with her. ; ; 7. Baron Endre could not calm down, ; He went searching for his daughter day and night, ; After a long time he managed to find her, ; The shepherd was afraid to pass sentence. ; ; 8. Who has ever seen that tree at the end of Szendrő, ; On which the shepherd boy is hanged, ; The wind blows her black curly hair, ; It does not embrace the black-eyed lamb. ; ; 9. I dare not go through the village, ; Because they say I wear black mourning, ; Black mourning, my wedding veil is snow-white, ; My true lover was a shepherd boy. ; ; 10. At the end of the village is a gypsy woman's tent, ; But many blonde and brown girls go there, ; I will go, I will predict my future, ; Will I find a faithful lover while I live. ; ;
