Mátyás király és Beatrix királyné találkozásának története [Két portugál cantiga alapján] [English translation]

Good Matthias thought in the morning

He would go for a walk on the Island of Songs

He put on his dragonhelm

To have a crown on his had today

Good Matthias walks his horse:

Let me see, is there a beautiful girl,

I am entitled to the most beautiful, the best

Who has been brought up by this province

Oh, my God, who is this girl

She is as bendable as a reed

Carnations and roses grow on her footsteps

I have been lost, I am her slave

There is nothing to need, only the sweet kiss

Which she gave me a couple of minutes ago

Hey, you beautiful girl

My words are short but accurate

Will you marry me tomorrow or after tomorrow?

If yes, call me

There six numbers have got wet

On fuzzy, serrated and ragged newspaper back page,

The kissable lips are agape

She dawdles further confusingly, skipping to dance

Back, runs the girl

Turns back and stands again and again

Turns around and waits for a couple of minutes

Then stands to the deep chested

Hey, you proud and graceful fellow

You think you just snap

And I bestride you immediately,

But I am a famous lady and look for

Kings, princes, earls

Barons and sultanas.

(Two weeks later)

The new couple jolt on horseback, Matthias rejoicing

He has found his beautiful love of his heart, the phone number was a good trick

The queen doesn't regret anything, a broad shoulder is her pillow now

Shirts and skirts are in the linen-basket and they share the scramble together.
