Lyrics & Translation
[English]
Voulez-vous Voulez-vous
Hey, what do you want?
Voulez-vous Voulez-vous
What are you gonna do?
Honestly Honestly
I want you to say it out right
Honestly Honestly
Don’t you want to invite me somewhere?
I can’t stay still
This situation
If you wanna escape from reality
Looking at each other won’t take us anywhere
In this world somewhere
Let’s find a marvelous heaven
So right now
Get on the train to somewhere far (Give me !)
Move that imaginary ship forward(Move it!Move it!)
To that envious city
Let’s take a great escape
Take me!
Buenos Aires Buenos Aires
Have you ever been there?
This city I’ve seen in some movie
I can hear the tango
Buenos Aires Buenos Aires
I wanna be right there
Nothing will chase us
Te tete te Que bien
Only us two
Ah... Oh... I love you
Te tete te Que guay
Come, the future
Oh... Voulez-vous
Oh!you know we gonna make it
Love is all that matters we can’t fake it
Brush off those who are bothersome
It’s our love, it’s our love going down
Just a place we only know the word of
Throw away what we got and start off
Set our goal only based on the name of the place
Buenos Aires coming to get ya
We can go anywhere
If we close our eyes
The city that can’t be seen comes into sight
Love is the only true map
Do as we are led
Let’s let ourselves flow on one track
So from now
Cross the ocean of envy(I can do it!)
Look up at the sky of desire(Ole!Ole!)
Shake off hopelessness
Let’s try to stay together for eternity
This is Buenos Aires Buenos Aires
Yes, I have been here
Music playing from the old Radio
Someone is dancing
Buenos Aires Buenos Aires
Do you wanna be here?
Paradise belonging only to us
Te tete Fantastico
So right now
Get on the train to somewhere far (Give me !)
Move that imaginary ship forward(Move it!Move it!)
To that envious city
Let’s take a great escape
Take me!
Buenos Aires Buenos Aires
Have you ever been there?
This city I’ve seen in some movie
I can hear the tango
Buenos Aires Buenos Aires
I wanna be right there
Nothing will chase us
Te tete te Que bien
Only us two
Ah... Oh... I love you
Te tete te Que guay
Come, the future
Oh... Voulez-vous
Voulez-vous...
Voulez-vous...
Voulez-vous...
Voulez-vous...
