Recordings
In this song, a man complains about his poverty. He is ashamed that he cannot support his family. The mother of his children has died. A girl would like to marry him, but he refuses because he can neither provide for his children nor a wife.
Musical transcription based on the booklet accompanying the CD Amare gila - Unsere Lieder / Our Songs
Phurdel bajval phurdel is an old, melancholic song about a sad event. In the tradition of Lovari songs, a true event is told poetically and passed on in this way. Ruža Nikolić-Lakatos loved to sing this song. It is the basis for Phurdel bajval phurdel, which she wrote for the survivors of the Oberwart terrorist attack in 1995.
This recording was made during the celebrations for Ruža Nikolić-Lakatos' birthday in 1993. The guests, including the singer's brother Fasoš Lakatos and her mother, sing along to the end of the lines.
