The Girl Who Fell into the Threshing Machine (1866)

Song

In the year 1866. ; What happened in the Baracska vineyard, ; Julcsa Farkas stood up on the machine table, ; He accidentally fell into the drum. ; ; When his lover saw this, ; He clasped both hands towards the sky. ; – Mr. Machinist, stop the machine, ; Whom I loved, fell into the drum. ; ; But the machinist didn’t want to hear, ; He didn’t want to stop his machine. ; – Stop, machinist, you’ll realize yourself, ; The machine will consume you too. ; ; When the big tractor had stopped, ; Julcsa Farkas’s weak heart stopped, ; Her red blood was choking like a stream, ; Her lover would cry, but he wasn’t free. ; ; They put Julcsa Farkas on the cart, ; They brought him before the chief physician. ; His Grace the chief physician said: ; – Only God is the doctor for this. ; ; They put Julcsa Farkas on the carriage, ; They took him to his mother's house. ; – Open your green-painted gate, my mother, ; Here they bring your broken daughter. ; ; When his mother heard this, ; She cried out in her grief, heartbroken. ; – My God, take my heart to you, ; If you have taken my child from me. ; ; At Julcsa's they lit the candle, ; Maybe they will indeed cremate Julcsa Farkas. ; Girls, girls, dress in white, ; Let's accompany Julcsa to the cemetery. ; ; The great bell of Baracska rang, ; Three black doves are pulling it, ; All three of them are sad poems, ; The heart of Julcsa Farkas' mother was broken. ; ; &nbsp, ; ; &nbsp,
