Do you live or have you lived in Moldova or Romania?
I think there might be a version of this song in Romanian part of Moldova. One can never know all the songs in one region or country. This is a children song in my area, Oltenia (South-South-West part of Romania). It comes with some celebration (Sânziene) which occurs this weekend (June 24, 25) and it also has some connection to John the Baptist, but I know little of these things.

It used to be sung/performed in order to bring the rain.
Sai = Sari - imperative of the verb "a sări" (to jump).
