May Day from Ofira by Casa Ukrania

Johnny is a really good fellow
Tender and slim, though fairly shallow
Joy in his eyes and gold-shining glisten
Young Mary loves him because he can listen

But as she smiles her father is bothered
With keeping Johnny from getting any closer
He says, since you and my daughter are that way
Be our king and queen on the may day

Johnny is glad, Johnny's thrilled to pieces
Mary won't find him on the date he never misses
Mary is desperate and calls him a liar
Her love burnes down with remains of bonfire

Poor Johnny's dying, turning to ashes
Trapped in the straw he silently flashes
Mary, my beatiful queen for the day,
What bad fortune takes you, my darling, away?
