Ye ye… le la te nane Ye ye ye ye… le la te na Ooh… oh… oh…
Ra! Ra!
All the mountains, all the seas All the winds are dancing hora It’s a dance you’ve never seen From my country called Moldova
Şai lalai la… şi zborul (Shai lalai la… and the flight) Şai lalai la… duce dorul (Shai lalai la… brings sorrow) Dans de foc al iubirii joc (In the fire of a love’s game) E hora din Moldova! Ru! (It’s the dance from Moldova! Ru!)
Când o iubeşti te răsfată (When you love it, it spoils you) Când o-nvârtesti iţi da viaţa (When you spin it, it gives you life) Toţi cu foc se avânta-n joc (Everybody with fire dash into the game) E cu noroc (Because it brings luck)
Ra, he hei, he hei (Ra, he hey, he hey) Hai la hora, hai la hora din Moldova (Come to the dance, come to the dance from Moldova) Ra, he hei, he hei (Ra, he hey, he hey) Lute-i hora, lute-i hora în Moldova (The dance is hot, the dance from Moldova is hot)
Ra, he hei, he hei (Ra, he hey, he hey) Hai la hora, hai la hora din Moldova (Come to the dance, come to the dance from Moldova) Ra he hei, he hei (Ra, he hey, he hey) Lute-i hora, lute-i hora în Moldova (The dance is hot, the dance from Moldova is hot)
Foaie verde-a bobului, măi (The green leaf of a pea plant, more) Hop hop şi-aşa (Jump, jump around) Păi jucaţi hora neamului (Come play our dance) Şi zi-i mai tare lăutare (Come shout louder musician) Să se-audă-n lumea mare (So all people can hear it) Joacă hora mic şi mare (Both young and older) Hop şi-a şa, măi (Jump, jump around, more)
All the seas, all the winds All the feelings that you get from hora All the day, past and nowaday Oh the dance you wanna play
