Tiszán innen, Tiszán tul,
Tul a Dunán van egy csikós nyájastul.
Kis pej lova ki van kötvel,
Szűrkötéllel, pakróc nélkül gazdástul.

Tiszán innen, Tiszán tul,
Tul a Dunán van egy gulás nyájastul.
Legelteti a guláját,
Oda várja a babáját gyepágyra.

On this side of the Tisza, beyond the Tisza,
Beyond the Danube there is a horseman with his herd.
His little chestnut horse is tied up
With a felt rope, without a blanket, with his master.

On this side of the Tisza, beyond the Tisza,
Beyond the Danube there is a herdboy with his flock.
He is grazing his herd,
Waiting for his sweetheart on a bed of grass.
