2 17th century songs surviving from other sources
(occasional prints, later manuscripts, folk tradition)
István Dobai: “Sad it was for me” (From Vikár’s and Kodály’s Transylvania collection, and the melody recorded with another text, from András Kovács’s Melodiarium, around 1770)
Siralmas volt nékëm Világra születnëm,
Hogy ezëket këll szenvednëm.
Melyeket nem reménylëttem.
