Józsi Barna asked his mother
Song
Barna Józsi asked his mother, ; To go out into the forest as a traveling companion. ; His traveling companion lay down in the green grass, ; Barna Józsi stabbed his heart with a knife. ; ; Barna Józsi, it was a shame for you to do that, ; To kill your mother for a little girl. ; Mr. Silence Commissioner, you have been my enemy for a long time, ; My beautiful sweetheart cannot be my wife. ; ; Barna Józsi, sit down next to me in the armchair, ; I will finish your chores by evening. ; I will send your letter to Ilova, ; Tomorrow morning you can go after him crying. ; ; Down there they are carving that tree now, ; On which Barna Józsi will be hung. ; The wind blows, his linen trousers, ; Someone else is hugging Barna Józsi's baby.
