Lyrics & Translation
Every day when she rises, she shines like the sun
Her silk dress warms my heart
Like in a TV soap opera, yeah
I move closer to you
Let's dance, let's play, yeah
Come near, oh
Because my waist needs your help
I can’t control it, it’s not in my veins
I think my waist clashes with my culture
I stumble on the sand, I can't hold back anymore
And down, down, yeah
Forget, forget that
I’m dancing, dancing, yeah
Until dawn, until dawn
Because my waist needs your help
I can’t control it, it’s not in my veins
I’ll learn to control
My waist, waist
(My waist, waist)
Why don’t we go down to the beach?
To practice
Early in the morning
And so there’s no one else
When I dance with you
Your body gives me heat
Kiss by kiss, my passion fruit, yeah
I move closer to you
Let's dance, let's play, yeah
Come near, oh
Because my waist needs your help
I can’t control it, it’s not in my veins
And down, down, yeah
Forget, forget that
I’m dancing, dancing, yeah
Until dawn, until dawn
Because my waist needs your help
I can’t control it, it’s not in my veins
I’ll learn to control
My waist, waist
Come to me, come to me, like ocean waves
Come to me, come to me, I can’t stop anymore
Come to me, come to me, like ocean waves
Come to me, I can’t stop anymore
And down, down, yeah
Forget, forget that
I’m dancing, dancing, yeah
Until dawn, until dawn
Because my waist needs your help
I can’t control it, it’s not in my veins
I’ll learn to control
And down, down, yeah
Forget, forget that
I’m dancing, dancing, yeah
Until dawn, until dawn
My waist, waist
(My waist, waist)
