Say, it might have been a fiddle

And the moon came up in wine
Dan bulan terbit dalam anggur

While the music plays the band

Lord they're setting us on fire
Tuhan mereka membuat kita terbakar
Crazy rooster crowing midnight
Ayam gila berkokok tengah malam
Balls of lightning roll along
Bola menggelinding
Old men sing about their dreams
Orang tua bernyanyi tentang mimpi mereka
Women laugh and children scream

And the band keeps playing on
Dan band terus bermain
Keep on dancing through to daylight
Terus berdansa sampai siang hari
Greet the morning air with song
Sambut udara pagi dengan nyanyian
No one's noticed but the band's all packed and gone
Tidak ada yang memperhatikan tapi band ini semua dikemas dan pergi
Was it ever here at all?
Apakah pernah ada di sini sama sekali?
But they kept on dancing
Tapi mereka terus menari
Come on children, come on children
Ayo anak-anak, ayo anak-anak
Come on clap your hands
Ayo bertepuk tangan Anda
Well the cool breeze came on Tuesday
Angin sepoi-sepoi datang pada hari Selasa
And the corn's a bumper crop
Dan jagung itu tanaman bumper
And the fields are full of dancing
Dan ladangnya penuh dengan tarian
Full of singing and romancing
Penuh bernyanyi dan asmara
The music never stopped
Musik tidak pernah berhenti
