Once the lamp is lit inside the house,
We won't do any other work!
If you tell us to brush in the morning,
We won't brush anything other than our teeth!
We will catch the chicken on top of the roof,
We will put up a ladder to climb into the sky!
That's right!
We will catch the fish swimming in the lake,
And divide the share to give to everyone!
Hey, once the lamp is lit inside the house,
We won't do any other work!
If you tell us to brush in the morning,
We won't brush anything other than our teeth!
We won't sing off beat,
We won't swap partners and dance,
We won't gather without any work,
We won't indulge in idle chatter,
We won't speak ill of others,
Male: If there is a fault,
Chorus: We won't leave without speaking up!
Male: Heh-heh heh-heh hey!
Chorus: Singing rustic folk songs,
Male: Good and worthy thoughts,
Chorus: We are going to share with everyone!
Hey, we are going to live by singing songs,
We will transform this land and show them!
Whatever we promise, we will finish it,
Together we will sing folk tunes!
Once the lamp is lit...
Once the lamp is lit inside the house,
We won't do any other work!
If you tell us to brush in the morning,
We won't brush anything other than our teeth!
Singing songs for the poor,
The poet Pavalar went up to heaven!
To dance and run and work so hard,
Who else is there like him?
The path that our elder brother paved,
Male: For the younger brothers,
Chorus: Is a golden rhythmic song!
Male: Heh-heh heh-heh hey!
Chorus: When we protect it like our own eyes,
Male: There are no hardships!
Chorus: Stand united and show them all!
Hey, when you have a good life true to your heart,
What kind of sorrow or lowliness is there?
There is no trouble if you speak the truth,
Isn't everything right here with us?
Once the lamp is lit... hoy!
Once the lamp is lit inside the house,
We won't do any other work!
Male: If you tell us to brush in the morning,
We won't brush anything other than our teeth!
We will catch the chicken on top of the roof,
We will put up a ladder to climb into the sky!
That's right!
We will catch the fish swimming in the lake,
And divide the share to give to everyone!
Hey, once the lamp is lit inside the house,
We won't do any other work!
If you tell us to brush in the morning,
We won't brush anything other than our teeth!
