Zigeunerweisen Uncovered

If you know me well, you'll know how much I love Sarasate's Zigeunerweisen. Well, one of the pianists here in Holland, Gerard Boeters, has just given me a handwritten copy of the original Hungarian folk song upon which the yearning middle section is based, complete with lyrics. If there are any Hungarian readers out there who would like to volunteer a translation, I'd be very grateful. I can scan and email a .pdf file of the music. Any offers?

Gerard and I also perform Kabelevsky's Improvisation tonight, at what will certainly be the latest scheduled concert I've ever played... We're due onstage at half past midnight!
