Across the Tisza to the border of Szentrei

1. Across the Tisza to the border of Szendre, ; An old poplar tree is leafing itself out’. ; An old poplar tree is leafing itself out’. ; A shepherd boy is playing his flute beneath it. ; ; 2. The clock struck two after midnight, ; A shepherd boy crept into the castle. ; He looks up sadly at a beautiful window, ; Does he think of (the) Baron Juliska of Szendre. ; ; 3. Two hours after midnight have passed a long time ago, ; Even then the flute still plays beautifully. ; A flute is heard in the castle, ; Are you awake, Baron Juliska of Szendre. ; ; 4. I am awake, my beautiful shepherd, I am not sleeping, ; I will dress and jump out of the window. ; We will gallop away on the fastest horse, ; And we will hold our wedding afterwards. ; ; 5. Baron Szendre jumped on his horse, ; He rode out to the border of Szendre. ; He asks the sheriff's shepherd, ; Has he not seen his only daughter. ; ; 6. The sheriff replies, ; The shepherd of the village is chasing him there. ; Baron Szendre did not take this as a joke, ; He invited him to the county house. ; ; 7. Juhászlegény says a bitter farewell, ; He takes his Juliská to the convent. ; Juhászlegény sighs to himself, ; Why did I look at Baron Szendre's daughter.
