Across the Tisza River to the Szendrőd puszta

Song

1. Across the Tisza River into the Szendrőd puszta, ; A shepherd boy plays his flute to himself. ; A flute is heard through the window, ; Wake up, the dignified young lady. ; ; 2. Baron Szendrő's window has opened, ; A black-eyed young lady looks out. ; The young lady sighs to herself: ; – Why did I become Baron Szendrő's daughter? ; ; 3. On the third day, the baron also went into hiding, ; He drove me out into the Szendrőd puszta. ; He asks his oldest groom, ; Has he seen a single one of his daughters. ; ; 4. – I have not seen him, my lord baron, if I tell you, ; I cannot find my youngest groom either. ; On the third day, the groom is there, ; Maybe the young lady is with him too. ; ; 5. Alas, but they carved that tree beautifully, ; On which (a) shepherd's hat is hung. ; The wind blows her black curly hair, ; It does not embrace Baron Szendrő's daughter. ; ; 6. I dare not walk down the main street, ; Everyone says I wear black mourning. ; My dress is mourning, my handkerchief is white, ; I will no longer have a shepherd's hat lover.
