Behind the gardens of Gezztete

Song

1. Behind the garden of the Gezztetes, ; A little girl was guarding a peacock. ; There came strangers, ; Three wandering young men. ; ; 2. Do you hear, pretty little girl, ; Come to the party with us. ; Come to the party with us, ; To the fair and cheerful. ; ; 3. – If I go with you, ; Where will my peacock go? ; – Leave the peacock in the stream, ; Because you can't trust it to anyone else. ; ; 4. They reached the green forest, ; They lay down on the grass, ; The girl fainted, fell asleep, ; There she fell into a deep sleep. ; ; 5. She woke up around midnight, ; At the sound of the cuckoo. ; – Oh, my God, strike them again, ; My guides here. ; They left me here in great solitude,   - to the melody of line 3 ; The prey of terrible beasts.             - to the melody of line 4 ; ; 6. Girls, girls, beautiful little girls, ; My fate is an example, ; Do not believe the young man, ; His always false soul. ; Because the young man loves you until,          - to the melody of line 3 ; While he deceives your heart.            - to the melody of line 4
