I'll go into the garden, tear out the leaf,
/ I will cover the trail of my darling. / 2
So that the race does not fall, so that the birds do not go,
/ So that others do not like my dear. / 2
Others fell in love with him and bewitched him,
/ They gave him unsalted fish for dinner. / 2
‒ Take supper, Cossack, and do not doubt,
/ If you have a wife, confess to me. / 2
‒ Oh, I have a wife and two children,
/ Two children, both dark-haired. / 2
Two children, both dark-haired,
/ I'm sorry to leave you so young. / 2
Cossack, Cossack, you're a fool,
/ In a strange party, you’ve admitted that you’re married. / 2
Both Miklos
