All my friends dance the oro
Dance the oro, they make the day
All the Roma, mummy
All the Roma, dad, dad
All the Roma, o mummy
All the Roma, dad, dad
Ederlezi, Ederlezi

All the Roma, dad, sacrifice sheep
But me, poor drummer, I must stay away
A Romany day, our day
Our day, Ederlezi

Dad, a sheep for us
All the Roma, dad, sacrifice sheep
All the Roma, dad, dad
All the Roma, oh mummy
All the Roma, dad, dad
Ederlezi, Ederlezi

But me, poor drummer, I must stay away

EDERLEZI - MARIA DELIGIANNI

Hora is a type of circle dance originating in the Balkans but now found in a number of countries, most of which use slightly different spellings. The name is cognate to the Greek χορός : 'dance' which is cognate with the ancient Greek art form of χορεία; see Chorea. The original meaning of the Greek word χορός may have been 'circle'.

The Greek χορός is cognate with Bulgarian 'horo', Serbian 'kolo', Macedonian 'oro', the Turkish form 'hora' and Romanian 'horǎ' (having its roots in Iron Age; this gave later the Yiddish and Modern Hebrew 'hōrāh'.
