ÁGRÓL-ÁGRA Elment a madárka, Üres a kalicka, Mind azt fúdogálja, Hazajő tavaszra. Ha tavaszra nem vár, Búza piruláskor. Ha még akkor sem jő, Tudd meg sohasem jő. Madárkám, madárkám Csináltatok neked, Gyémántból kalickát, S ezüstből padlócskát. Csináltatok neked Zsemlecipót enned, Zsemlecipót enned, S muskotárbort innod. Nem szoktam, nem szoktam Kalickában lakni, Kalickában lakni, S padlócskán sétálni. Csak szoktam, csak szoktam ágról-ágra menni, Ágról-ágra menni S harmatvizet inni. lyrics FROM ONE BRANCH TO ANOTHER The little bird has left the cage is empty She keeps sayin’ It’ll be back in spring. If she doesn’t come in spring or by wheat harvest If she doesn’t return even then, You should know she never will. My birdie, my birdie, I will have a diamond cage made for you with a silver floor. I'll give you the sweetest bread, The sweetest bread to eat, and sweet wine to drink. I’m not used to living in a cage, living in a cage, I’m not used to walking on a floor. But I’m used to flying from one branch to another, from one branch to another, and to drinking morning dew.

Rejtsetek el 03:44
REJTSETEK EL Amerre én járok, még a fák is sírnak Gyenge ágairól a levelek lehullnak Hulljatok levelek, rejtsetek el engem Mert az én galambom mást szeret, nem engem. Szerelem, szerelem, átkozó gyötrelem Mért nem termesz nekünk minden fa levelén Diófa levelén, rózsafa tetején Hogy szakítson rólad minden leány s legény. Lám én szakisztottam s el es hervasztottam Lám én szakisztottam s el es hervasztottam lyrics HIDE ME Wherever I may walk, even the trees are cryin', From their weak branches the leaves are fallin'. Fall, leaves, fall and hide me, ‘Cause my sweet dove loves another, not me. Love, love, such a painful torment Why don't you yield on every leaf, On walnut-leaves, on rose-treetops, And let all lads and lasses tear off from you. See, I've torn one and have blighted it See, I've torn one and have blighted it.

SZIVÁRVÁNY HAVASÁN Szivárvány havasán Felnőtt rozmaring szál Nem szereti helyét El akar bújdosni Ki kell onnat venni S új helybe kell tenni Ki kell onnat venni S új helybe kell tenni Te túl rózsám, te túl, A Málnás erdején, Én meg innen sírok, A bánat mezején, Jó estét, jó estét, Adjon isten kincsem, Piros hajnal után Rogyogó na’ffénye. Szeretném még tudni, Mikor lészen néked visszafordulásod? Mikor tüzhelyeden piros rózsát látok. Aztot tudd meg rózsám, Hogy sohasem leszen Hogy sohasem leszen visszafordulásom. lyrics ON THE HEIGHTS OF THE RAINBOW On the heights of the rainbow a rosemary grew up She doesn't like her place She wants to hide away. She must be removed from there, She must be replanted to a new place. She must be removed from there, She must be replanted to a new place. My sweet rose, you’re over the Malnas woods, While I'm crying here, In the fields of sorrow. May the Lord give you A good evening, my sweet jewel, Shining sunlight After a crimson day-break. I would also like to know When your way turns back. When I see a red rose in your hearth. You should know, my sweet rose, This will never happen You will never see My way turning back.

Elmehetsz 04:12
ELMEHETSZ Gyere ki te gyöngyvirág Mert feljött az holdvilág jaj Majd kimegyek hajnalban magos fejű kalapban jaj Majd kimegyek s ott lakom csak a lajbim gombolom jaj Majd kimegyek s ott lakom Szeretőmet gondolom jaj Nyitva az ajtó bejöhetsz üres a pad leülhetsz jaj Vetett az ágy lefekhetsz Nyitva az ajtó elmehetsz jaj Vetett az ágy lefekhetsz Nyitva az ajtó elmehetsz Gyere ki te gyöngyvirág Mert feljött az holdvilág Gyere ki te gyöngyvirág Mert feljött az holdvilág lyrics YOU MAY LEAVE Come out, lily of the valley For the moonlight has risen. I'll go out in a tall hat When the day breaks. I'll go out and will stay there I’ll just button up my vest I'll go out and will stay there Thinking of my lover. The door's open - you can come in The bench is empty - you can sit on The bed has been made - you can lie down The door's open - you can leave. Come out, lily of the valley for the moonlight has risen. Come out, lily of the valley for the moonlight has risen.

Ne mondd el 04:42
NE MONDD EL Ej! A titkos szerelem, titkosan kezdődik! Ej! A titkos szerelem, titkosan kezdődik! Még is utoljára kivilágosodik. Mégis, utoljára kivilágosodik. Húzzad édes muzsikásom Mer' én neked megszolgálom, Húzzad édes muzsikásom Mer' én neked megszolgálom, Vagy aratok vagy kapálok, Vagy egy éjjel véled hálok. Vagy aratok vagy kapálok, Vagy egy éjjel véled hálok. Szerettelek, szeretlek, csak ne mondd senkinek, Szerettelek... more lyrics DON'T TELL Hey! Secret love starts under wraps! Hey! Secret love starts under wraps! Though in the end it will come to light. Though in the end it will come to light. Strike up a tune, my sweet fiddler Cause I'll pay you for it, Strike up a tune my sweet fiddler Cause I'll pay you for it, I'll either harvest or hoe, Or one night I'll sleep with you I'll either harvest or hoe, Or one night I'll sleep with you. I did love you, I do love you, just don't tell anyone, I did love you, I do love you, just don't tell anyone, Until we get married on church ground. Until we're married on church brick ground.

HAJNALCSILLAG Megyen már a hajnalcsillag lefelé Az én kedves galambom most megyen hazafelé Lábán van csizmája, a lakkos szárú kis csizma Rásütött a hajnalcsillag sugára Amerre mégy édes rózsám kívánom Hogy előtted a rét is piros rózsává váljon A zöld fű is előtted édes almát teremjen A te szíved holtig el ne feledjen lyrics MORNING STAR The morning star is descending My sweet dove is heading home. She’s wearing light lacquered boots The morning star is shining on them. Wherever you go, my sweet rose, I wish for you That even the meadow should turn into red roses, Even the green grass should yield sweet apples, And your heart should never forget me till you die.

SZOMJÚ MADARAK Ha folyó víz vónék bánatot nem tudnék. Hegyek-völgyek között szép csendesen folynék. Martot mosogatnék, füvet újítanék szomjú madaraknak innók adogatnék Vetettem violát, várom kinyílását, A régi rózsámnak visszafordulását. Kinyílt a viola, ki es virágoza, az én régi babám, vissza nem jött soha. lyrics THIRSTY BIRDS If I were a river I would not know sorrow. Among hills and dales I would silently flow. I would wash the high banks, Renew the green grass, would let thirsty birds have a little sip. Have sown some violets waiting for their blossom and for my rose gone by to return. Violets are in full bloom, They’ve just turned to blossom, But my long lost sweetheart did never come back.

Eső 02:26
ESŐ Azt gondoltam eső esik, Pedig a szemem könnyezik Az én szemem sűrű felhő, S onnat ver engem az eső. Gyere rózsám béküljünk meg, Mi egymásnak engedjünk meg. Mindig voltak kik így jártak, Mind megengedtek egymásnak. Nyújtsad kezed, bár egy felet, Bár még egy szót szóljak veled. Nyújtsad kezed keresztesen, Búcsúzzunk el örökösen! Úgy fáj az én gyönge szívem, Nem tom tied fáj-e vagy nem. Fáj es annak mit tudsz tenni, Mikor ennek így kell lenni. lyrics RAIN I thought it was raining Yet my eyes are weeping only My eyes are dense clouds Where the rain is lashing from against me. Come, my dearest, let's make peace Let's forgive each other There have always been others in the same shoes All of them have forgiven each other. Hold out your hands, at least one, Let me say one more word to you, Hold out your crossed hands now, Let's take leave for ever! My weak heart hurts so much Don’t know if yours hurts as well So it does, but what can you do, This is the way things are meant to happen.

Nap 05:55
NAP Süss fel Nap Fényes Nap Kertek alatt a ludaim megfagynak. lyrics SUN Shine, shine, Bright Sun, My geese are freezing in the garden.
10.
ÚGY BOCSÁSS EL A fényes nap immár lenyugoda a föld színe sötétben marada, nappali fény éjjelre változa, fáradtaknak nyugadalmat hoza. Vessünk számot, hát édes Istenem, hogy lelkemet ne kelljen féltenem, hogy lehessen bátrabban szólanom, midőn meg kell előtted állanom. Ne szólíts ki, Uram, készületlen, ne szólíts ki, Uram, készületlen, vezess elébb az enyhítő kútra, s úgy bocsáss el minket a nagy útra! lyrics SEND US OFF The bright sun has already set, The surface of the earth remained in the dark, The daylight has changed to night, And has brought rest to the tired. Let us give account, my dear God, So that I shouldn’t worry about my soul, So that I can speak up more bravely When I have to stand in front of you. Don't call me, my Lord, Don't call me unprepared Lead me first to the soothing well So do send us off on the long road!

Notes from the past...

This was a musical experiment, a fusion of progressive rock of the seventies and traditional Hungarian folk music. First, we took some beautiful ancestral songs and started to play some basic arrangements with one single guitar, creating interesting and unusual harmonic structures around the pentatonic melodies, which later started to grow naturally. This album grew from the love of our rich musical heritage. The songs come from a few hundred years ago, transmitting the feelings, struggles and beliefs of our ancestors. When we started to work on a song, we were aware that each one had some kind of plan with us, it “begged” for a certain type of sound, harmony, a certain kind of tuning or specific instrumentation. Experimenting is the key to take a chance on arranging, playing with 4-6-8 part harmonies, using the instrumentation of symphonic progressive rock music of the seventies.
During the 20th century Zoltán Kodály and Béla Bartók made many traditional folk songs eternal by collecting them from authentic and clean sources, and they used this rich knowledge as a base and inspiration for their amazing symphonic and choral works. Our point of view is a humble experience we loved. We think that it might give a different perspective to these deep, meaningful, soulful songs that have survived several hundreds of years and will hopefully stay for several more.

Notes from the present...

The Senki madara album was born under a bad sign in 2017. Its formation began at the university, where we recorded sound both in the studio of Paprika Radio and in the open air. We won a Creative Scholarship for it, but then someone else spent the money, the project was left on its own, and almost out of anger, it ended up being almost completely deleted with a Shift+Delete... Then good friends came and encouraged us: this must be finished, this material deserves to be heard by the world. And then came Stefi, came Szirtes Edina Mókus and Tarsoly Csenge, and they sang beautifully, and slowly everything fell into place. Except for the financial aspect. Stefi and Ákos won the 19th Veszprém Street Music Festival, and Zsolt also applied for money for publication. However, due to local bureaucracy, it could only be released on homemade duplicated CDr-s, but even so, they were quickly snapped up and became public domain.
Now is the time for it to be released with real master sound, on a real pressed CD, in the form it originally deserved. There are only 200 of these new copies, so you must hurry if you want one.
Today, listening to it again caused goosebumps once more. What is your favorite moment of Senki madara?
