Portre of Burns, Robert
Portre of Arany János

Back to the translator

The Deil's awa wi' the Exciseman (English)

The deil cam fiddlin' thro' the town,
And danc'd awa wi' th' Exciseman;
And ilka wife cries, Auld Mahoun,
I wish you luck o' the prize, man.

  The deil's awa the deil's awa,
  The deil's awa wi' the Exciseman,
  He's danc'd awa he's danc'd awa
  He's danc'd awa wi' the Exciseman.

We'll mak our maut, and we'll brew our drink,
We'll laugh, sing, and rejoice, man;
And mony braw thanks to the meikle black deil,
That danc'd awa wi' th' Exciseman.

  The deil's awa the deil's awa,
  The deil's awa wi' the Exciseman,
  He's danc'd awa he's danc'd awa
  He's danc'd awa wi' the Exciseman.

There's threesome reels, there's foursome reels,
There's hornpipes and strathspeys, man,
But the ae best dance ere came to the Land
Was, the deil's awa wi' the Exciseman.

  The deil's awa the deil's awa,
  The deil's awa wi' the Exciseman,
  He's danc'd awa he's danc'd awa
  He's danc'd awa wi' the Exciseman.

Az ördög elvitte a fináncot (Hungarian)

Jött az ördög hegedüszóval,
elvitte a fináncot;
és minden asszony igy kiált:
"Belzebub, éljen a táncod!"

  Az ördög, az ördög,
  az ördög e tánccal
  oda van, oda van
  oda van a finánccal.

"Cefrét verünk, főzünk italt,
lakomát csapunk, nagy táncot:
szépen köszönjük, Körmös úr,
hogy viszed a fináncot!"

   Az ördög, az ördög,
   az ördög e tánccal
   oda van, oda van
   oda van a finánccal.

"Van csárda-tánc, kuferces, lánc,
tudunk polkát és fráncot:
de legjobb tánc az ördögé,
hogy viszi a fináncot."

   Az ördög, az ördög,
   az ördög e tánccal
   oda van, oda van
   oda van a finánccal.
