Original text and translations
Hungarian text
Madárka, madárka,
Csacsogó madárka,
Vidd el a levelem, vidd el a levelem,
Szép magyar hazámba.
Ha kérdik ki küldte,
Mondjad hogy az küldte,
Kinek bánatában, szive fájdalmában,
Meghasad a szive.
English translation
by Mick Swithinbank
Sweet little bird,
Twittering little bird,
Take this letter of mine
Home to my beloved Hungary.
If they ask who sent you,
Say that it was one
Who is living in despair,
Whose heart is truly broken.
