Out in the meadow music is playing;
People are dancing, they circle about.
Arms linked with one another,
They dance hora
And while they dance merrily shout;
Come, do the hora now
Watch and we'll show you how,
Step hop and once again,
See how it is done.
Hear how we keep the beat,
Stepping with lively feet;
Come join our circle now
Come, dance with your friends!
Now that we're together,
Ev'ryone steps a little faster,
Ev'ryone hops a little faster,
See how the circle's turning faster!
See how the circle's turning faster!
How it is done; rest ev'ryone.
We've danced the hora joyfully.
