The murderer surrenders (Barna Jancsi is asked to do so by his baby)

Song

His baby asks Hansel and Gretel to ; Send his mother to the other world. ; His sweet mother lay down on the green carpet, ; Hansel and Gretel thrust a knife into her heart. ; ; Hansel and Gretel's pants became bloody, ; Then his sweet baby will wash them. ; – Wash them, my baby, my shirt, my pants are white, ; Tomorrow I will go to the Commissioner of Peace. ; ; – Commissioner of Peace, may God give you a good day, ; – God give you, my sweet son, what is the matter with you? ; – Commissioner of Peace, my heart is heavy with sorrow, ; I killed my mother for a little girl. ; ; – It was a shame for you, Hansel and Gretel, to do that, ; To kill your mother for a little girl. ; – Commissioner of Peace, I had an enemy long ago, ; This little girl cannot be my wife. ; ; In another country, they are carving that tree now, ; They are hanging Hansel and Gretel. ; The wind blows his white shirt and trousers, ; Someone else is hugging Hansel and Gretel's doll.
