Brown Jóska is asked by his baby

Song

1. Barna Jóska is asked by her baby, ; To send her companion to the other world. ; Her companion lay down in the green grass. ; Barna Jóska stabbed her heart with a knife. ; ; 2. Barna Jóska's pants became bloody, ; Then her dear baby will wash them. ; – Wash my shirt, my pants, white, ; So that I can go to the Commissioner of Silence. ; ; 3. – God bless you, Commissioner of Silence, good day! ; – God bless you, Barna Jóska, what's wrong with you? ; – Commissioner of Silence, my heart is killing me with grief, ; I killed my mother for a little girl. ; ; 4. – It was a shame for you, Barna Jóska, to do this, ; To kill your mother for a little girl. ; – Commissioner of Silence, you have been my enemy for a long time, ; This little girl will not be my wife after all. ; ; 5. Beyond the Tisza, they are now carving that tree, ; On which they will hang Brown Jóská. ; The wind blows her linen shirt and trousers, ; Someone else is hugging Brown Jóská's doll.
