Lyrics
Verse 1:
Oh you like it, when I sizzle like that
This “takata” is a riddim like that
Saraswathi* force, win ting like that (*Saraswathi: God of art, music)
Brown skin tone, peng ting like that
And I like to jump cuz the beat like that
Therukoothu, HD like that (*therukoothu:street theatre, where songs are played in dance and music in storytelling the epics)
“Allez, allez haute - ce soir sera lit” (*french for, lets turn up, tonight is going to be lit)
Tell a fam, it's a hit
Slu wine with the hips (*slow wine: dance)
Chorus:
Cuz when we dance we gon move the sun
Can we dance even in the fall ye ye
For the love we’ve ever known
For the love we’ve ever known
Can we dance even in the fall ye ye
Verse 2:
Uuuh matchi it all comes down tonight (matchi: buddy)
Bring your sauce talk, do you talk that spice ?
Flavours how mix you know “chicken, lemon rice”
Me no seek ice, no me no seek ice!
Damnshestamil only his type
Wake all day he wake all night
I don't wanna play if his game aint right…
Flavours how you mix you know “chicken, lemon rice”
If you wanna dance through the night say yelelo
If you wanna live in the now say yelelo
If you feel the vibe singalong say yelelo
If you see the love of your life tell em yelelo (*yelelo: fisher would sing on the sea, while fishing)
Outro:
If you a badgyal, go and take it take it
To the top, you gon make it make it (repeat)
