History

The song got its name after Ederlezi (otherwise known as Đurđevdan (Ђурђевдан) in Serbian, sometimes transcribed as Djurdjevdan) which is a Spring festival, especially celebrated by Roma people around the former Yugoslavia (and elsewhere around the world), regardless of religious affiliation. This holiday celebrates the return of springtime.

Translated from Romani:

All my friends dance the hora
Dance the hora, they make the day
All the Roma mummy
All the Roma dad, dad
All the Roma o mummy
All the Roma dad, dad
Ederlezi, Ederlezi
All the Roma mummy
All the Roma dad, sacrify sheep
But me, poor drummer, I must stay away
Oh yes, mummy, it is our celebration
It is our celebration, Ederlezi
(translation needed), a sheep for us
All the Roma dad, sacrify sheep
All the Roma dad, dad
All the Roma oh mummy
All the Roma dad, dad
Ederlezi, Ederlezi
All the Roma mummy
