lyrics

Meitiņas dancoja, pakaļas bungoja,
Es līdzi skatījos, kurpītes čīkstēja.

Kur tu, skuķēn, mēslus meti,
Kad slaucīji istabiņ’?
Man nokrita zelta pieši,
Ar meitiņām runājot.

Deju, deju, lecu, lecu,
Kurpītēs, zilenēs,
Puisīti gribēdama,
Kas dancoja zābakos.

Danco, puisīt, cik tu gribi,
Neplēs manu lindraciņ’;
Es tev došu, cik gribēsi,
Kad māmiņa neredzēs.

Nevienami tā nerīb
Kā mums abiem dancojot;
Man nokrita zelta pieši,
Tev sidraba ķelderīš’.

Meitiņas dancoja, pakaļas bungoja.
Es līdzi skatījos, zābaki čīkstēja.

--------------------------------------------------
The Maids Danced

The maids danced and swung their hips,
My shoes creaked as I watched.

Where’d you throw the dung, little girl,
After you swept the rooms?
I must’ve dropped my golden spurs,
Talking with the girls.

I danced and danced, and hopped and hopped,
In my new shoes and blue socks,
I’ve got my eye on a boy,
Dancing in leather boots.

Dance, my boy, to your heart’s content,
Be careful not to rip my dress;
I’ll give you what you ask,
When my mother’s not around.

No one makes the floors creak,
As do we when we take to dancing;
I dropped my golden spurs,
You dropped your silver coat.

Dance, my boy, to your heart’s content,
Be careful not to rip my dress;
I’ll give you what you ask,
When my mother’s not around.

The maids danced and swung their hips,
My boots creaked as I watched.
