Translation
Mother said, when I asked her
That I was the prettiest in my village
And as busy as a bee
She wouldn’t give me away for the world

Two blackberries are my tiny eyes
And my cheeks are like two peonies
My hair is braided in long tresses
And my mouth is like a blooming field poppy

This is me, there’s nothing to be done
Let’s tzurai and tzurai and tzurai
Everybody in my village cares for me
Let’s tzurai and tzurai and tzurai

I want to sing at the top of my voice
Until the sun sets
And I want to join the round dance
And dance until my heels catch fire

Come on, boy, cheer up
It’s high time for dancing
Hold out your hand to me
That’s the way we’re dancing over here

This is me, there’s nothing to be done
Let’s tzurai and tzurai and tzurai
Everybody in my village cares for me
Let’s tzurai and tzurai and tzurai

I want to sing at the top of my voice
Until the sun sets
And I want to join the round dance
And dance until my heels catch fire

When the feast is in full swing, I can dance
I can be with girls and lads of my age

Two blackberries are my tiny eyes
And my cheeks are like two peonies
My hair is braided in long tresses
And my mouth is like a blooming field poppy

And I want to join the round dance
And dance until my heels catch fire
I want to sing at the top of my voice
Until the sun sets
