It's getting dark.

Song

1. Evening is falling, dusk is falling ; The forest of bait is sad, ; There is a famous thief, ; Who stands before the people. ; ; 2. Jóska Jágër is a famous thief, ; He wears clean white clothes, ; When he goes to the Eger shop, ; Jóska Jágër buys there. ; Selected for our shops,           - to the melody of the 3rd line ; Even more beautiful than the most beautiful ones.   - to the melody of the 4th line ; ; 3. The shopkeeper only says, ; – Don’t hurry, Jóska Jágër. ; Sit down on the sofa, ; Here is my shop, choose. ; ; 4. Hurry, my shopkeeper, ; Because my journey is far. ; I have six policemen on my neck, ; That's why I'm in such a hurry. ; ; 5. Jóska Jágér turned around, ; He writes on the shop door, ; He writes on the shop door, ; Jóska Jágér bought here. ; ; 6. Jóska Jágér went to steal, ; But he couldn't think clearly, ; He went to his death, ; To the farm of János Vasas. ; ; 7. János Vasas built a fire, ; He jumped next to Jóska Jágér, ; - Good evening, brother Hansel, ; Do you have cheese, bacon, and bread? ; ; 8. I have bacon, cheese, bread, ; Eat, my friend, while you can. ; Live well for the last time, ; I will shed your blood soon. ; (This is what János thinks to himself) ; ; 9. - I don't hurt the flock, ; Cifra is yours. ; Cifra is yours from the hoop, ; Your boots from the spur. ; ; 10. – I cannot give you my scythe, ; Until I drive my flock. ; If I drive my flock, ; I will give you both. ; ; 11. John went to turn, ; To pray to God, ; Lord God, your holy angel, ; Give strength to both my arms. ; ; 12. So that I can grasp my axe, ; To kill Jágér Jóská. ; I turned my axe, ; I killed Jágér Jóská. ; ; 13. – Well, my friend, lie here, ; Until my chariot arrives here. ; When my chariot arrives here, ; I will take your body to the cemetery. ; I will come back at dawn,       - to the melody of line 3 ; Three or four hours    - to the melody of line 4 ; I will take you to the cemetery,         - to the melody of line 3 ; I will bury you in the forest.        - to the melody of line 4 ; ; 14. I came for you on three horses, ; I will take you to the cemetery on a steel carriage, ; There was no one to mourn for, ; The coffin of Cifra's wife. ; ; 15. The coffin of Cifra's wife, ; His axe is his head. ; The farewell of the cuckoo bird, ; The mourner of the yellow thrush. ; ; 16. Antal Török, farmer of the court, ; Jóska Jágër lies dead. ; I also confess the law; I killed him and I can deny it.
