Original lyrics
Zis-o mama către mine
Zis-o mama cătă1 mine,
hai, dorule, dorule,
Să mă-nvăț horile bine,
hai, dorule, dorule,
În lume cât oi trăi,
hai, dorule, dorule,
De mângâiere mi-or fi,
hai, dorule, dorule.
În lume cât oi umbla,
hai, dorule, dorule,
Multe răle2 m-or mânca,
hai, dorule, dorule,
Horile-s de stâmpărare,
hai, dorule, dorule,
La omul cu supărare,
hai, dorule, dorule.
Horie-s de stâmpărare,
hai, dorule, dorule,
La omul cu supărare,
hai, dorule, dorule.

My Mother Told Me
My mother told me
oh, love, oh, love
To learn the songs well
oh, love, oh, love
Because as long as I live
oh, love, oh, love
They will comfort me.
oh, love, oh, love
All around the world
oh, love, oh, love
Many bad things might happen to me,
oh, love, oh, love
But songs are there to soothe
oh, love, oh, love
All suffering men.
oh, love, oh, love
Songs are meant to soothe
oh, love, oh, love
All suffering men.
oh, love, oh, love

Thank you. I'm glad I found your rendering. I didn't understand the one in french nor the other one in english.
Do/does horile/hora mean songs/song literally? Or is this a figurative rendering for the name of the dance? Or do I have that backwards -- is the dance named figuratively as "song"?
