You could hear the beat of polka coming from the neighbors It made my feet titillated. The mother of Ieva was keeping an eye on her daughter, But Ieva did fool her for prohibitions don't matter When dancing to the full. (Nonsense;last word of this phrase means "slowly") Ieva was grinning widely When people were giving their best wishes. Every one was sweating And that violin kept screeching and mourning. Wetness doesn't bother this guy When going all out. (nonsense again) Mother of Ieva was humming hymns in the chamber, When this guy was verging the wive's girl In the neighbor. Wives don't bother this guy When dancing to the full. (nonsense) There was fun after the playing I once managed to grab her in my arms. When going home that witch was arguing And Ieva started grying. I told Ieva what's the matter We will fall across the board again. (nonsense)
