Édesanyám rózsafája, engem nyílott utoljára Bár sohase nyílott volna, nyílott volna, maradtam vón a bimbóba, hateha. Édesanyám mondta nékem, minek a szerető nékem, De én arra nem hajlottam, nem hajlottam Titkon szeretőt tartottam, hateha. Én vagyok az, aki nem jó, felleg ajtó nyitogató. Nyitogatom a felleget, a felleget, Sírok alatta eleget, hateha. I was the last blossom of my dear mother's blooming rose tree. I wish she had not flowered me, but had stopped me before budding. My good mother always warned me not to look for any lover. But I did not listen to her, rather kept a secret lover. I am the one, who broke the rules, who opened the gate of tears. I drain tears from dark clouds, and keep crying in their shadow. (English translation by Magdolna Sebestyén)

about

In the tradition of Transylvanian string bands, Szászka interprets the fiery dance music of the Hungarians, Romanians, and Roma from the Kalotaszeg and Mezőseg/Câmpia regions of Romania.
