Green leaf of 'siminoc',¹

Keep the circle in place,

One more time,boys,

Hop-and-so-and so.

Keep it like that, lads,

Until my darling² catch up to me,

One more time,boys,

Hop-and-so-and so.

Stregthen it (fasten it) just a little,

She is close to catch me up,

One more time,boys,

Hop-and-so-and so.

Fasten it one more step,

she caught me up, but didn't stay,

One more time,boys,

Hop-and-so-and so.

Two straws, two grains,

Let's stomp³ the Ciuleandra,

One more time,boys,

Hop-and-so-and so.

Keep it like that, don't let it down,

'Cause i'm on same step with my darling,

One more time,boys,

Hop-and-so-and so.

Two straws, two grains,

Stomp the Ciuleandra now,

One more time,boys,

Hop-and-so-and so.⁴

One more time,boys,

Hop-and-so-and so.
