The triple feticide (Vilma Szabó was not born by her mother)

Song

Vilma Szabó was not born by her mother, ; Vilma Szabó was born by a walnut tree. ; The topmost branch of a walnut tree, ; The river of sadness leaned towards her. ; ; – Vilma Szabó, you wanted to be a virgin, ; You wanted to wear a virgin crown. ; But the county doctor recognized her: ; Vilma Szabó is the mother of three children. ; ; Vilma Szabó went out into the small garden, ; She lay down at the base of the citrus tree, ; I whistled to her two or three times, ; – Get up, Vilma, someone will see you. ; ; Vilma Szabó did not take it as a joke, ; She jumped into the dining room, ; She did not even close the latch of her window, ; Nine gendarmes are knocking on her door. ; ; – Vilma Szabó, confess your sins, ; Where did you put your three children? ; I put one at the base of the walnut tree, ; And two at the bottom of the Tisza. ; ; – Vilma Szabó, doesn't your heart hurt, ; That you killed your three children? ; Of course it hurt, because it will split, ; As long as I live, they will beat me with iron.
