The canal flows in front of our house.

1. In front of our house, in front of our house, the canal flows, ; Even the stork bathes in it, bathes in it. ; The stork always bathes, yet its feathers are muddy, ; My dear little angel is the most beautiful girl in the village. ; ; 2. Either I will write, or I will send a message to the judge of Martos, ; Let him pave the way with marble, marble. ; Let him pave it smooth, smooth, but smooth, ; The dear little angel is coming, his boots are creaking. ; ; 3. Either I will write, or I will send a message, or I will tell him myself, ; So that God, the good God, may no more orphan boys be kept. ; Because even heaven abandons the orphan, even girls abandon him, ; So, dear little angel, I will remain an orphan myself.
