Translated from Romani:
All the Roma dad, sacrify sheep
But me, poor drummer, I must stay away
Oh yes, mummy, it is our celebration
It is our celebration, Ederlezi
A sheep for us , 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
All the Roma mummy
