Here’s a link to the amazing Hungarian ensemble Muzsikás tribute to Bartok, which includes snippets of the field recordings he made himself. Great stuff

Muzsikás - Eddig vendég (The Unwelcome Guest)

[voluptuarian]

"Betyárnóta (Outlaw Song)" - Muzsikás

"Istenem, Istenem (My Lord, My Lord)" - Muzsikás

Muzsikás is one of those groups I was lucky to discover many years ago; my intro was their album Blues for Transylvania, which is still very near and dear to my heart. I haven't given it a listen in a long time, but was reminded of a couple of my favorite tracks a few weeks ago, and thought I would share.

Lyrics below

Betyárnóta

I haven't been able to find well translated lyrics for the whole thing, but it involves a man traveling in the mountains with a young colt in tow, when local sheriffs press him to sell the horse the to them; when he refuses, the situation escalates to violence ending with:

They ask me what my name is where is my passport? I immediately shot two dead, this is my passport this is my passport.

Istenem, Istenem

My God, my God, My dear beloved God, Why do I have to pass This world with sorrow?

Pass it with sorrow, Bear it with grief, Lie in one bed With an unloved companion.

When he has to hug, He complains of aching arms; When he has to kiss, He sheds mournful tears.

And there isn't in the world Greater misery Than those who couple up And don't love one another.

And when he has to hug me, He complains of aching arms; When he has to be kissed, He sheds mournful tears.
