[English]

Hey, Mr. DJ, put a record on

I wanna dance with my baby

And when the music starts, I never wanna stop

It's gonna drive me crazy

Music makes the people come together

Don't think of yesterday, and I don't look at the clock

I like to boogie-woogie

It's like riding on the wind, and it never goes away

Touches everything I'm in, got to have it every day

Music makes the people come together yeah

Hey, Mr. DJ, put a record on

I wanna dance with my baby

And when the music starts, I never wanna stop

It's gonna drive me crazy

Music makes the people

Music mix the bourgeoisie and the rebel

Hey, Mr. DJ

...

It's gonna drive me crazy

Music makes the people

Mix the bourgeoisie

And the rebel

...
