Suicidal lover-killer (Gyula Szabó loves Jolán Horvát)

Song

Gyula Szabó loves Jolán Horvát, ; But his mother won't let him marry her. ; -- Wait, Jolán, what will we do, ; If your mother won't let him marry her. ; ; Gyula Szabó met Jolánka on the street one Sunday afternoon. ; – Come, Jolán, for a walk in the forest, ; You'll see, we'll pick flowers. ; ; When they got to the forest, ; But not to pick flowers. ; – But so that you don't belong to the other, ; Here we'll die, both of us for each other. ; ; Then Jolán knelt before him, ; He asked Gyula not to kill him yet. ; But the murderer didn't listen to his words, ; He threw her to the ground, stepped on her neck. ; ; He cut her hands back and forth, ; He also cut off her head from her neck. ; He cut out her heart with a razor, ; That's how he accompanied the poor thing to the other world. ; ; In the year eighteen hundred and ninety-eight, ; Nine little girls dressed in white. ; They tied a mourning wreath on their heads, ; That's how they accompanied Jolán to the cemetery.
