It is sung by Marta Sebasteyn. We've been all over the 'Net, and our own indexes and resources, with no luck. Can anybody here give us some help? Pat |

Unfortunately, the link isn't working for me; maybe it'll work for someone else. Doesn't say there whether the lyrics are in Hungarian or English, but at least it's a place to start. |

I did find that link, and it didn't work for me either! :-( At the moment, our catalog server is dead (Advanced death, they tell us) and I must wait to be able to locate our books of Hungarian folk songs.

Én csak azt csodálom Meg nem hal bújába Ki az õ édesét Gyakran nem láthatja Lám énaz enyémet Csak máma nem láttam Mégis az én szivem Majd meghal bújában Bújába nem másért Csak a szerelemért Csak a szerelemért Szerelem kedviért Elvágtam az ujjam Holtig foly a vérem Messze van édesem Ki bekösse nékem Messze van édesem Ki bekösse nékem Messze van édesen Más ember kedvire Elvátgam az ujjam Holtig foly a vérem Messze van édesem Ki bekösse nékem Messze van édesen Más ember kedvire Messze van édesem Más néz a szemibe |
