Két krajcáros Dal
Tinker Jack sent me this song with the note: "On the 20th of August, we Hungarians celebrate the 'new bread'. It is actually on the very same day when the first Christian king was elected, called Stephen I, a long time ago. This song is supposedly sung in the mill and in connection with baking. I hope you like it!"
