– Good evening, good evening, ; Judge Sóki, ; Is your daughter at home, ; The beautiful fairy lady? ; ; – She is at home, she is at home, ; She is in the room. ; She is sleeping soundly, ; In her quilted bed. ; ; – Go, wake her up, ; Send her to the ball, ; Put her three gold rings on her finger. ; Her white silk skirt *) ; Put her on. ; Her red velvet shoes *) ; Put her on. ; ; She went, she went, ; She went to the ball. ; Her white silk skirt, ; She put her on. ; Her three gold rings *) ; She put her on. ; Her red velvet shoes *) ; She put her on. ; ; – Come on, gypsies! ; Sing a long song. ; Judge Sóki-bíró Ilona, ; Don't leave me a moment of rest. ; ; – My husband, my husband, ; Let me rest, ; From my red velvet shoes ; My blood is pouring out. ; ; – I am not free to rest, ; I cannot breathe. ; For the twenty-four gypsies, ; I am not free to rest. ; ; – My husband, I am dying, ; Because I am dying, ; From my three lovers ; I want a farewell. ; ; Judge Sóki-bíró Ilona ; She is already buried. ; The lover of the three ; He died there beside her. ; ; Bells, bells, ; Sing a long poem. ; Judge Sóki-bíró Ilona, ; He rests in the cemetery. ú ; ; – My blood with your blood, ; Flows in a stream, ; My body with your body, ; May it rest in a grave. ; My soul with your soul, *) ; May it reach heaven. ; ; *) to lines 3 and 4 of the melody
