Letra:

[English]

I used to go out to parties

And stand around

'Cause I was too nervous

To really get down

But my body

Yearned to be free

I got up on the floor and thought

Somebody could choose me

No more standin'

There beside the wall

Finally got myself together, baby

Now I'm havin' a ball

As long as you're groovin'

There's always a chance

Somebody watchin'

Might wanna make romance

Move your body

Ooh, baby, you dance all night

To the groove and

Feel alright

...

Party, ooh!

On like a fool (whoo, whoo)

But if you see me

Spread out and let me in

Baby, just party

High and low

Let me step into

Your erotic zone

Move it up

Turn it 'round

...

Ooh, shake it down, ow, ooh!

...

You can love me when you want to, babe

This is such a groovy party, baby

We're here face to face

Baby, everybody's swingin'

This is such a groovy place

All the young ladies are so fine

Movin' your body

Easy with no doubts

I know what you thinkin', baby

You wanna turn me on

Think I'm gonna let you do it, baby

Keep on dancin' (baby, sexy lady, foxy lady)

You got to give it up

Keep on dancin' (sexy lady, foxy lady)

You got to give it up

...

Keep on dancin'

...

You got to give it up

Keep on dancin'

You got to give it up

So keep on dancin', oh darlin', yeah

...

You got to give it up

Keep on dancin'

...

You got to give it up

Keep on dancin'

You got to give it up

...

Gramática:

  • I used to go out to parties and stand around

    ➔ Soler + infinitivo

    "Soler" indica una costumbre o estado en el pasado que ya no es cierto. El hablante está indicando que "solía" salir y quedarse parado, pero ya no lo hace.

  • 'Cause I was too nervous to really get down

    ➔ Demasiado/a + adjetivo + para + infinitivo

    ➔ La estructura "demasiado + adjetivo + para + infinitivo" expresa que algo es excesivo e impide que ocurra otra cosa. Aquí, el hablante estaba "demasiado" nervioso para "dejarse llevar" (bailar).

  • I got up on the floor and thought somebody could choose me

    ➔ Verbo modal "podría" (posibilidad)

    "Podría" expresa una posibilidad. El hablante pensó que era posible que alguien pudiera elegirle (para bailar o románticamente).

  • No more standin' there beside the wall

    ➔ Gerundio como sustantivo ("standin'")

    "Standin'" (standing) funciona como un sustantivo en esta oración. La frase "No more standin'" significa que el hablante ya no estará de pie.

  • As long as you're groovin', there's always a chance

    ➔ Siempre y cuando (cláusula condicional)

    "Siempre y cuando" introduce una cláusula condicional. La cláusula principal, "there's always a chance", depende de la condición de que "estés disfrutando" (grooving).

  • Somebody watchin' might wanna make romance

    ➔ Verbo modal "might" (posibilidad)

    "Might" expresa una probabilidad menor que "could". Existe la posibilidad de que alguien que esté mirando quiera comenzar un romance.

  • You can love me when you want to, babe

    ➔ Cuando (cláusula adverbial de tiempo)

    "Cuando quieras" es una cláusula adverbial de tiempo, que modifica el verbo "puedes amar". Indica el momento en el que la acción de amar es permisible.

  • Think I'm gonna let you do it, baby

    ➔ Gonna (going to) - Intención futura

    "Gonna" es una contracción coloquial de "going to", utilizada para expresar una intención o plan futuro. El hablante está cuestionando si permitirá que la otra persona "lo haga".
