Hear a synthesized realisation
This enchanting song, collected by Béla Bartók in the Tolna region of Hungary, is widely known as a children’s song but was traditionally a kiházasító népdal - a ceremonial song for sending off a young married couple to their own house. The tune has also been arranged, with different lyrics, as a campfire song (Tabortuznel by Lajos Bárdos) and as a love song.
In this gentle arrangement, the tune is passed between the different voices, supported by slow-moving harmonies.
Words
Kis kece lányom, fehérbe’ vagyon, Fehér a rózsa, kezébe’ vagyon. Mondom, mondom, fordulj ide, mátkám-asszony.(x2)
Ciprusi menta, kajtali rózsa, Elmennék táncba, ha szép lány volna. Mondom, mondom, fordulj ide, mátkám-asszony.(x2)
Traditional
White is the dress of my graceful girl, White is the rose that is in her hand. Turn to me, I say to you, my bride. (x2)
Mint of Cyprus, rose of Kajta, I’d go to the dance, if there’d be a beautiful girl. Turn to me, I say to you, my bride. (x2)
