Az én lovam Szajkó,
Magam pedig Jankó;
Mind a négy lábáról
Leesett a patkó.
Csak egy maradt rajta
S az is kotyog rajta;
ǁ: Kovács jó barátom
Igazítson rajta. :ǁ
My horse’s name is Sayko,
I myself am Janko;
From all his four hoofs
The horseshoes have fallen.
Only one stayed on,
And that one is loose also;
ǁ: The blacksmith, my good friend,
Should fix it. :ǁ
