Hi,
does anyone know what the hungarien(or is it russian?) woman says in the cell block tango?
I only got "Uncle Sam" and I always wanted to know what she's talking about:)

Mit keresek, én itt? Azt mondják,
hogy a híres lakem lefogta a férjemet én meg
lecsaptam a fejét. De nem igaz, én ártatlan
vagyok. Nem tudom miért mondja
Uncle Sam, hogy én tettem. Probáltam
a rendõrségen megmagyarázni de nem értették meg...


UH UH, not guilty!

Basically that she was arrested and charged with killing her husband but she didn't do it but she can not explain it to the police because she doesn't speak English.

I found 2 versions:

version 1
Hunyak: "WHAT AM I DOING HERE? THEY SAY, THE FAMOUS
HUNGARIAN POLICE, THAT I KILLED MY HUSBAND. BUT I DIDN'T DO
IT, I AM NOT GUILTY. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT UNCLE SAM SAYS I
DID IT. THEY SAY I DID IT, BUT REALLY I......."

version 2
Hunyak: "What am I doing here? Why do they say, the famous Police, that I held down by husband and with an axe cut off his head? It isn't true! My hands are white (i.e. I am innocent). I don't know why they have told Uncle Sam that I did this. I tried to explain to them but they will not understand... .."

The translation is: "What am doing here? They say my famous lover held down my husband while I chopped off his head. But it isn't true, I am innocent. I don't know why Uncle Sam says I did it. I tried to explain it at the police station but they did not understand me."

By the way... the Hungarian's name is Hunyak.

No that's her nickname. It's a slang term for Hungarian- the way you might call a woman with a hard to pronounce French name "Frenchy."

While Hunyak is slang for someone who's Hungarian, the character's name in the show is actually Catalin Hunyak.
