I have to go father go to Mádéfalva A meeting was announced by shiny noble lords Many valiant lads are gathering there as well By the snowy mountains thus I have to say farewell
My dear tender son you don’t have to go there The meeting was announced by high austrian lords We are doomed before them they always brought evil They always brought misery to poor Székely people
They broke the hearts of many mothers who hardly Brought up the handsome lads they took to join the army Don’t go there my dear son they always brought evil They always brought misery to poor Székely people
Don’t worry dear father yet I have to depart I mustn’t be afraid but I must have a brave heart If the shiny lords could frighten me away Yellow-haired maidens disdained me all the way
So Sándor Dakó rode to Mádéfalva Rode on a grey horse with a crimson sabretache Many valiant lads stood up there surrounded And shed their blood one and all by the snowy mountains
Oh good Sándor Dakó why you had to go there Four your father’s despair for your mother’s despair For the doom of yourself Now eagles are lurking to feast on your flesh
And over there rises a river of mourning Indeed it is rising towards Mádéfalva Where are you good bards maybe you are asleep As you missed to chant of the great sorrow of Fel-Csík
The great sorrow of Fel-Csík the mourning of Háromszék We all will remember blackguard Sivkovics’ raid As he built a heap of prime of youth slaughtered Threw some into fire and others into water
One mourns a father one mourns a mother One lost a sweetheart and a bairn the other Their plenty of tears surge as a great flood Alas all the rivers are flooding but with blood
As Olt runs into grey Danube with its crimson water All who could flee from the land are cursed to ever wander My part is to go away into grey exile If only I could see my home just once in a whileTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
