Suicidal lover-killer (Nyíregyháza Great Forest, Somogy County)
Song
Somogy County, the great forest of Nyírőgyháza, ; The field is dripping with blood, ; The rain is whispering, the wind is whispering incessantly, ; Oh, my God, my love is taking me. ; ; Gyula Szabó loved Jolán Horvát, ; But Jolán's parents wouldn't let him, ; - Just wait, Jolán, if they don't let me love you, ; Then you'll see what I'm going to do. ; ; Gyula Szabó met Jolánka on the street one Sunday afternoon, ; He invited her to walk into the field, ; To string flowers into a pearl wreath. ; ; When they reached the field, ; -- Let's sit down on the ground in silence, ; But the murderer didn't listen to his words, ; He threw her to the ground, stepped on her neck. ; ; He cut off her hands and feet, ; He cut off her head from her neck, ; He cut out her heart with a razor, ; Thus she accompanied her memory to the other world. ; ; When Jolan's mother told her this, ; She clasped her two hands above her head: ; -- May God strike that wicked mother, ; Who will not let her daughter be born. ; ; On the twenty-eighth day of October, ; Many little girls dressed in mourning clothes, ; They put a wreath of pearls on Jolan's head, ; Thus they accompanied Jolan to the cemetery.
