[English]

Burn, baby, burn

Burn, baby, burn

Burn, baby, burn

Burn, baby, burn

(Burnin') to my surprise, listen

One hundred stories high

People gettin' loose, y'all

They're gettin' down on the roof, do you hear?

The folks was flaming

Out of control

It was so entertainin'

When the boogie started to explode

I heard somebody say

Burn, baby, burn, disco inferno

Burn, baby, burn, burn that mother down

Burn, baby, burn, disco inferno

Burn, baby, burn, burn that mother down

(Burnin') satisfaction (ooh, ooh, ooh)

Came in the chain reaction

(Burnin') I couldn't get enough

Till I had to self-destruct

The heat was on

(Burnin') rising to the top, uh

Everybody's goin' strong

And that is when my spark got hot

I heard somebody say

Burn, baby, burn, disco inferno

Burn, baby, burn, burn that mother down, y'all

Burn, baby, burn, disco inferno

Burn, baby, burn, burn that mother down (burnin')

Up above my head, I hear music in the air (I hear music)

That makes me know there's a party somewhere

Satisfaction! Umm

Came in a chain reaction, let me hear

I couldn't get enough

So I had to self destruct, umm

The heat was on

Rising to the top, umm

Everybody's goin' strong

That is when my spark got hot

I heard somebody say

Burn, baby, burn, disco inferno

Burn, baby, burn, burn that mother down

Burn, baby, burn, disco inferno

Burn, baby, burn, burn that mother down, get it

Burn, baby, burn (ahh, hey!)

Burn, baby, burn, burn that mother down

Burn, baby, burn, disco inferno
