We dance like nobody's problem

Because the Moldovan is not afraid of problems

We light the candle, sing hard at once

That's what the tradition passed down from the ancestors says

If it's hard to let go, we pretend to forget

In any situation we start dancing

The desire to have, as soon as we can

And we are workers only if we want to

Moldovan' step right', hu, ready with the statue'

Left front, left back, no, give me a belt

Put it straight on the shoulder', pour it empty stomach'

Breathe in the air, dance as you can

Moldovans dance until noon

They don't need a brake because they don't brake

Find out to the right and ahead if you still proposed

You take the first sip because God said so

That's what my mother told me

To play and have fun

My days are flying by
