[English]

Soca time (ayy)

I want the party to start now

All night long and never stop

I want to go dancing with you

Nice and tight, hot, let's sweat

Let-let's jump

Move your body, jump

Let-let's touch the ceiling and bounce

And feel the rhythm, it's soca

Keep going, keep going, jump

Let-let's move your body, jump

Let-let's touch the ceiling and bounce

And feel the rhythm, eh-eh, eh, eh

Everybody

Nobody asks why, nobody asks why

Nobody asks how it's going, because it's going all by itself

Nobody asks where to, nobody asks how long

Nobody asks with whom, because it's going all by itself

The earth is spinning by itself, your ass is moving by itself

The glasses are filling by themselves, everything is going by itself today

Germany is dancing by itself, everyone can do it by themselves

Don't think, let it be, because everything is going by itself today

Oh, oh, oh, oh, that moves the body

Oh, oh, oh, oh, that you are hot

Oh, oh, oh, oh, I love you, mami

Oh, oh, oh, oh

I like to party and I like to go wild (hey)

A little party has to happen every now and then (hey)

I want to jump, I want to dance and scream

All together, nobody stays alone today

We're partying through, the whole night today

Popping the corks with the whole neighborhood

Everyone twitches, everyone grumbles, everyone has to move

Come on, just let yourself go, yeah

Nobody asks why, nobody asks why

Nobody asks how it's going, because it's going all by itself

Nobody asks where to, nobody asks how long (how)

Nobody asks with whom, because it's going all by itself

The earth is spinning by itself, your ass is moving by itself

The glasses are filling by themselves, everything is going by itself today

Germany is dancing by itself, everyone can do it by themselves

Don't think, let it be, because everything is going by itself today

Oh, oh, oh, oh, that moves the body

Oh, oh, oh, oh, that you are hot

Oh, oh, oh, oh, I love you, mami

Oh, oh, oh, oh

It's getting light again, but I don't want to go (I don't want to go)

I feel like I'm in a trance, time stands still (time stands still)

The music directs my body, I let myself drift (I let myself drift)

No matter what happens, everything goes by itself (by itself)

Nobody asks why, nobody asks why

Nobody asks how it's going, because it's going all by itself

Nobody asks where to, nobody asks how long

Nobody asks with whom, because it's going all by itself

The earth is spinning by itself, your ass is moving by itself

The glasses are filling by themselves, everything is going by itself today

Germany is dancing by itself, everyone can do it by themselves

Don't think, let it be, because everything is going by itself today

Oh, oh, oh, oh, that moves the body

Oh, oh, oh, oh, that you are hot

Oh, oh, oh, oh, I love you, mami

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Everything is going by itself today

Soca time (ayy)

Yo quiero que la fiesta empiece ya

Toda la noche y no vuelva a parar

Yo quiero ir contigo a bailar

Bien apretaíto', rico, vamos a sudar

Que-que salta

Que mueve tu cuerpo, salta

Que-que toca el techo y brinca

Y siente el ritmo, es soca

Sigue, sigue, salta

Que-que mueve tu cuerpo, salta

Que-que toca el techo y brinca

Y siente el ritmo, eh-eh, eh, eh

Todo el mundo

Keiner fragt, wieso, keiner fragt, warum

Keiner fragt, wie's geht, denn es geht schon von allein

Keiner fragt, wohin, keiner fragt, wie lang

Keiner fragt, mit wem, denn es geht schon von allein

Die Erde dreht sich von allein, dein Arsch bewegt sich von allein

Die Gläser füll'n sich von allein, alles geht heut von allein

Deutschland tanzt von allein, jeder kann's von allein

Denk nicht nach, lass es sein, denn alles geht heut von allein

Oh, oh, oh, oh, que mueve el cuerpo

Oh, oh, oh, oh, que estás caliente

Oh, oh, oh, oh, me encantas, mami

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Ich mag feiern und ich mag abstyl'n (hey)

Ein bisschen Party muss ab und zu schon mal sein (hey)

Ich will spring'n, ich will tanzen und schrei'n

Alle zusamm'n, heut bleibt keiner allein

Wir feiern durch, heute die ganze Nacht

Lassen die Korken knall'n mit der ganzen Nachbarschaft

Jeder zuckt, jeder muckt, jeder muss sich bewegen

Komm, lass dich einfach geh'n, ja

Keiner fragt, wieso, keiner fragt, warum

Keiner fragt, wie's geht, denn es geht schon von allein

Keiner fragt, wohin, keiner fragt, wie lang (wie)

Keiner fragt, mit wem, denn es geht schon von allein

Die Erde dreht sich von allein, dein Arsch bewegt sich von allein

Die Gläser füll'n sich von allein, alles geht heut von allein

Deutschland tanzt von allein, jeder kann's von allein

Denk nicht nach, lass es sein, denn alles geht heut von allein

Oh, oh, oh, oh, que mueve el cuerpo

Oh, oh, oh, oh, que estás caliente

Oh, oh, oh, oh, me encantas, mami

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Es wird schon wieder hell, doch ich will nicht geh'n (ich will nicht geh'n)

Ich fühl mich wie in Trance, die Zeit bleibt steh'n (die Zeit bleibt steh'n)

Die Musik dirigiert mein'n Körper, ich lass mich treiben (ich lass mich treiben)

Egal, was passiert, alles geht von allein (von allein)

Keiner fragt, wieso, keiner fragt, warum

Keiner fragt, wie's geht, denn es geht schon von allein

Keiner fragt, wohin, keiner fragt, wie lang

Keiner fragt, mit wem, denn es geht schon von allein

Die Erde dreht sich von allein, dein Arsch bewegt sich von allein

Die Gläser füll'n sich von allein, alles geht heut von allein

Deutschland tanzt von allein, jeder kann's von allein

Denk nicht nach, lass es sein, denn alles geht heut von allein

Oh, oh, oh, oh, que mueve el cuerpo

Oh, oh, oh, oh, que estás caliente

Oh, oh, oh, oh, me encantas, mami

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Alles geht heut von allein
