It's raining, but it's pouring nicely.

1. It's raining, oh but it's pouring down nicely, ; Csiho Pista is in the tavern, bitter, ; (Oh but) The innkeeper goes into the tavern, ; She falls on Csiho Pista's shoulder. ; ; 2. Oh, but the innkeeper, bring fish, please, ; Bring lemon wine with the fish, please, ; But he should set her daughter as a guard, ; If a gendarme comes with news, be here. ; ; 3. The girl runs, the girl runs, soulless, ; But here are nine gendarmes with loaded guns, ; Oh, but Csiko Pista didn't take it for a joke, ; She jumped on her velvet-haired horse. ; ; 4. But his horse's foot stumbled in the root, – to the tune of line 3 ; They caught Csiko Pista lying down, – to the tune of line 4 ; The eight gendarmes tie his hands and feet, ; And nine saddle his velvet horse. ; ; 5. Brave gentlemen, I beg you, for the good God, ; Look into the starry skies, ; Let me send a message to my wife, ; Take care of my two children, ; Let her not give them to a foal or a goulash, – to the tune of line 3 ; The Lord of the heavens is beating it. – to the tune of line 4 ; ;
