They were recruited as hussars
Song
They hired me as a hussar, ; But they didn't give me a horse. ; But they didn't give me a horse, ; Only for walking. ; ; I asked the captain, ; Give me a stallion. ; I'll take care of him, ; Don't find fault. ; ; At this the captain ; Was very pleased. ; Here are a hundred remundas, ; Choose from them. ; ; Among a hundred remundas. ; I walk up and down. ; Of a beautiful gray colt, ; I stop at the rump. ; ; This will be good, this horse, ; This gray colt. ; This gray colt, ; It's for a hussar. ; ; A hussar on his back, ; A sword on his side. ; Heels, boots, ; He's going to battle.
