Hej the hajdús live in that way
Assume they don't raid, barter is okay
They lead away the oxen of rich men
And fondle their beautiful daughters
Hej the hajdús are the tough guys
They try hard in battles and fights
Pagans rue and weaklings fear
When the sword of a hajdú is getting near!

1. The hajdú were a group of people in Hungary.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hajduk2. The "bagi dance" is type of folk dance. I assume that it's origins are in the Hungarian village, Bag.
