Hungarian Lullaby (Slovakia) Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Hungarian community of southern Slovakia, near the Hungarian border. Hungarians are Slovakia’s largest ethnic minority, most concentrated in southern districts right along the border, a legacy of the 1920 Treaty of Trianon, which redrew the map after the First World War and left many ethnic Hungarian communities outside Hungary’s new borders, and many towns in the region still carry both Slovak and Hungarian names side by side today. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.

What “Hungarian Lullaby (Slovakia)” Means
“Kicsim” is a Hungarian term of endearment meaning roughly “my little one.” The Hungarian community of southern Slovakia, near the border, keeps alive its own language, embroidery, and the csardas folk dance. This original lullaby draws on those borderland and folk-dance images of Hungarian life in Slovakia, with “kicsim” used as a warm address rather than a literal translation.
