Szöveg / Lyrics

Erre gyere, rózsám, nincsen sár,
Nincsen az ajtómon semmi zár,
Kinyílik az ajtó magától,
A szeretőm gyönge két karjától.

Akkor szép az erdő, mikor zöld,
Mikor a vadgalamb benne költ
Olyan a vadgalamb, mint a lány,
Maga jár a szép legény után.

This way, sweetheart (literally: my rose), no mud here,
There is no any lock on my door,
My door opens by itself,
By the two tender arms of my lover.

The forest is nice when it is green,
When the wild dove brood in it,
Wild doves are like girls,
They go after the nice boys themselves.
