Brown Hansel walked into the forest

Song

Brown Hansel walked into the forest, ; His companion slept there in the green grass", ; His companion slept there in the green grass", ; Brown Hansel stabbed himself in the heart with a knife. ; ; Brown Hansel's pants were bloody, ; Then his lover, his baby, washed them. ; Wash my baby, my shirt, my pants until they were white, ; I'm going to the Commissioner of Silence. ; ; Commissioner of Silence, may God give you a good day, ; God give you, Brown Hansel, what's wrong with you? ; Commissioner of Silence, my heart is heavy with sorrow, ; I killed my mother for a little girl. ; ; Brown Hansel, it was a shame for you to do that, ; Killing your mother for a little girl. ; Mr. Commissioner of Silence, my long-time enemy, ; This little girl will never be my wife. ; ; The prison door in Ilovai is yellow, ; That's where Brown Hansel is locked up. ; The prison door of Ilovai is cracked, ; Brown Hansel may you never be freed. ; ; Beyond the Tisza, they are now carving that tree, ; On which they will hang Brown Hansel. ; The wind blows his black curly hair, ; Someone else is hugging his dear baby.
