High tower of Felsőszeli
Song
1. High tower of Felsőszeli, ; My great whip is stuck. ; Unhook my dear dove, ; I will kiss your red cheek. ; ; 2. I fell asleep on the banks of the Tisza, ; Alas, but I had a sad dream! ; As soon as I woke up, ; Nine gendarmes are standing before me. ; ; 3. “Gendarmes, what do you want, ; Perhaps they are giving you iron?” ; – We don’t want anything here, ; We are looking for a brave colt here!- ; ; 4. “A brave colt is not for sale, ; Nor is it fit for a gendarme, ; Because if the gendarme were to sit on it, ; Like a bird would fly away!”
