Thread Name: Hungarian-English translators?
Subject: RE: Hungarian-English translators?
Google gives up on the first word. I've tried Hungarian with it before and it's one of its worst-served languages - they haven't got the inflectional system anywhere near right, so they regard inflected forms as unknown roots most of the time. And Csángó dialect has inflections that were lost in standard Hungarian 200 years ago.

The song is an unusual version of a common "outlaw ballad", "Elment a madarka".
