Oh, how wide, oh, how long is this road

Song

Alas, but wide, alas, but long is this road, ; On Amellikon nine outlaws set out, ; On Amellikon nine outlaws set out, ; He turned into Pápainé's courtyard. ; ; Pápainé, may God give you a good evening, ; May God give the gentlemen luck. ; Pápainé, do not wish for luck, ; We will stab the knife in the heart this very night. ; ; My daughter Kati, go down to the cellar, ; Bring wine up in the larger bottle. ; We do not need your wine or your money, ; Just send your daughter down to the tavern. ; ; Pápainé turned into the cellar, ; Brought wine up in the larger bottle. ; My God, how must I die, ; How must I leave nine orphans here. ; ; Pápainé turned into the little garden, ; She looked up at the starry skies. ; My God, take my soul to yourself, ; Nine outlaws will take my life. ; ; The great bell of Nagyszolnok has rung, ; Three white wild doves are pulling it. ; Just pull my sad poem, ; Nine outlaws have taken my life. ; ; The main street of Nagyszolnok is covered in mourning, ; Pápaine is being carried out dead on it. ; Pápaine, his three daughters and himself, ; Lovas Laci, his three friends.
