Verse

Am Dm Am
Sleep now, kicsim, the csardas dance is still,
Dm Am E7
the embroidered costume rests tonight, upon the Pannonian hill.
Am Dm Am
Sleep now, little one, the wheat fields wait so near,
Dm Am E7
tomorrow’s sun will rise for you, and chase away all fear.

What “Hungarian Lullaby (Vojvodina)” Means

“Kicsim” is a Hungarian term of endearment meaning roughly “my little one.” The Hungarian community of Serbia’s Vojvodina region keeps alive richly embroidered festival costumes and the csardas folk dance across the flat Pannonian plain. This original lullaby draws on those festival and Pannonian-plain images of Hungarian life in Vojvodina, with “kicsim” used as a warm address rather than a literal translation.
