voila la traduction anglaise de la chanson posté par akeljam ( les paroles ne correspondent pas a la chanson de l´animation flash...)
The sound of a polka drifted from my neighbor´s
and set my feet a-tapping oh!
Ieva´s mother had her eye on her daughter but
Ieva she managed to fool her, you know.
´Cause who´s going to listen to mother saying no
when we´re all busy dancing to and fro!
Ieva was smiling, the fiddle it was wailing
as people crowded round to wish her luck.
Everyone was hot but it didn´t seem to bother
the handsome young man, the dashing buck.
´Cause who´s going to mind a drop of sweat
when he´s all busy dancing to and fro!
Ieva´s mother she shut herself away
in her own quiet room to hum a hymn.
Leaving our hero to have a spot of fun
in a neighbor´s house when the lights are dim.
´Cause what does it matter what the old folks say
when you´re all busy dancing to and fro!
When the music stopped then the real fun began
and that´s when the laddie fooled around.
When he took her home, when the dancing was over
her mother angrily waiting they found.
But I said to her, Ieva, now don´t you weep
and we´ll soon be dancing to and fro!
I said to her mother now stop that noise
or I won´t be responsible for what I do.
If you go quietly and stay in your room
you won´t get hurt while your daughter I woo.
´Cause this fine laddie is a wild sort of guy
when he´s all busy dancing to and fro!
One thing I tell you is you won´t trap me,
no, you won´t find me an easy catch.
Travel to the east and travel to the west but
Ieva and I are going to make a match.
´Cause this fine laddie ain´t the bashful sort
when he´s all busy dancing to and fro.
