Csija buja
Lullaby
from
Hungary
Singer:
Emi Farago
Csíja búja, búja, gyönyörű magzatom,
aludj el, aludj el, gyönyörű csillagom.
Ótson el az angyal, kőtsön fel a hajnal,
aludj el, aludj el, gyönyörű virágom.
Sleep, my beautiful child,
sleep, my lovely star.
May the angel rock you to sleep,
and the red dawn awaken you.
