SCRAPBOOK
No, de se baj, több is veszett Mohacsmal!
Alexander Korbay (1846-1913)
Volt nekem egy darú szörü paripám
De el adta a szegedi kapitany,
Ott sem roltam az áldo más i vás nál,
No, de se baj, több is veszett Mohácsmál!
Volt nekem egy fehér tanyam leégelt,
Azt netudom a telekje kié lelt
Fel van irva a szegedi tanáck nal.
No, de se baj, több is veszett Mohacsmal!
Volt szeretöm, esztendeig sirattam,
Ö volt az én mindennapi halottam.
Most is meg van a hütelen, de másnál;
No, de se baj, több is veszett Mohacsmal!
More was lost at Mohács Field
Had a horse, a finer no man ever saw;
But the sheriff sold in the name of law.
E’en a stirrup cup the rascal would not yield.
But, no matter! More was lost at Mohács field.
Had a farmhouse, but they burnt it to the ground;
Don’t know even where the spot may now be found.
In the country roll ’tis daft inscribed and sealed;
But, no matter! More was lost at Mohács field.
Had a sweetheart; mourn’d her loss years and years;
Thought her dead and every day gave her my tears.
Now I find her ‘neath another’s roof and shield;
But, no matter! More was lost at Mohács field.
