When I got my draft notice,
I pleaded to my father:
“Father, my dear Father, do as
I wish,
Go fight that war for me.”
“Father, my dear Father, do as
I wish,
Go fight that war for me.”
When I got my draft notice,
I asked the musicians:
“Hey you, musicians, play the csardas for me,
Let me dance one last time.”
“Hey you, musicians, play the csardas for me,
Let me dance one last time.”
The musicians began to play the csárdás,
And tears began to pour from my eyes,
Nobody will cry, neither father nor mother,
Only two girls will cry for me.
Nobody will cry, neither father nor mother,
Only tree girls will cry for me.
The first one will cry because I am her brother,
The second will cry, because I am her
Cousin
The third one will cry
she will lament,
Because she’s bearing my
child.
The third one will cry
she will lament,
Because she’s bearing my child
