Name: Alunelul

Origin: Romania

Lyrics:

/Alunelu, alunelu hai la joc,

Sáne fie, sáne fie cu noroc! /x2

Cine-n hora o sá joace,

Mare, mare seva face,

Cine n-o ju ca de fel,

Vara mare mi titel.

/Alunelul, alunelul hai la joc,

Sáne fie, sáne fie cu noroc! /x2

Joaca joaca tot pe loc,

Sára sara busuioc,

Joaca joaca tot casa,

Joaca si nut e lá sa.

Translation:

Alunelul, alunelul, comes to the dance!

Let it be lucky for us.

Whoever dances the Hora?

Will be very big,

Whoever doesn't?

Will remain small.

Alunelul, Alunelul, come to the dance!

Let it be lucky for us.

Dance, dance, right in place,

Let the sweet basil bloom,

Dance, dance, just like this,

Dance and don't let up!

*The name of the dance means little hazelnut tree.
