Vilma Szabó on Thursday evenings

Song

Vilma Szabó on Thursday evening, ; She ran out to the front of the steam car. ; The driver blew his whistle three times, ; Watch out Vilma, because the engine will crush you. ; ; Vilma Szabó did not take it as a joke, ; She ran into the nearby tavern. ; The butcher's wife orders her daughter, ; Bring Vilma a glass of wine. ; ; By the time Vilma drinks her wine, ; Nine gendarmes open the door. ; A gendarme corporal shouts out, ; We have found Vilma somewhere. ; ; Vilma Szabó, confess your crime, ; Where did you put your three children. ; I put one under a walnut tree, ; The other at the bottom of the Tisza. ; ; (to the second half of the melody) ; ; Now I am the murderer of the third, ; My God, I should not have been born. ; ; Vilma Szabó is escorted by nine gendarmes, ; Her lover watches from the window. ; Don't look, don't look at my sorrowful life, ; I suffer all this for you.
