Shepherd boy from Gömörsíd

1. A shepherd boy from Gömörsíd, ; Cold and cold, poor man, ; His sheep are grazing thirstily, ; Let his baby drink. ; ; 2. I would show him, but I dare not, ; The bucket is too big for me to lift, ; Because if I lifted it, ; My lover would leave me. ; ; 3. The edge of the Tisza is deep, ; But its middle is even deeper, ; But I would like to go through it, ; To pluck a rosebud. ; ; 4. Don't bend over, rosebud, ; Don't wait for me, my baby, ; Because if you wait for me, ; You will never get married. ; ; 5. It's not like it used to be, ; The sun is not that in the sky, ; Not that sun, not that moon, ; Not that lover who was. ; ;
