Lyrics:

[Italiano]

[English]

We can do what we want

We can do what we want

We don't need to be wild, wild

We don't need to be wild, wild

We make the rules and laws

We make the rules and laws

We can do no wrong

We can do no wrong

You told me you're ready

You told me you're ready

You're getting to get it

You're getting to get it

Your unloving letters will be melodramatic

Your unloving letters will be melodramatic

We want my help 24/7

We want my help 24/7

I need you honey, I need your lemon

I need you honey, I need your lemon

I don't need another reason

I don't need another reason

You're enough for me

You're enough for me

Let's make some memories

Let's make some memories

E non c'è bisogno di niente

And there's no need for anything

Ahi ahi ahi ahi

Ahi ahi ahi ahi

Quando la notte ti prende

When the night takes you

Ahi ahi ahi ahi

Ahi ahi ahi ahi

Tra il cielo e la savana

Between the sky and the savanna

Tutto girava

Everything was spinning

Jambo Bwana

Jambo Bwana

Dicevi tu guardando me

You were saying looking at me

...

...

Guardando me

Looking at me

...

...

Segui il fiume all'orizzonte

Follow the river to the horizon

Dove l'estate non cambia colore

Where the summer doesn't change color

Dai che è vicino anche il sole

Come on, the sun is close too

Sopra alla linea dell'equatore

Above the equator line

Tu dimmi che vuoi restare

Tell me you want to stay

Con me se il mare è blu

With me if the sea is blue

Voglio andarci con te

I want to go there with you

E non c'è bisogno di niente

And there's no need for anything

Ahi ahi ahi ahi

Ahi ahi ahi ahi

Quando la notte ti prende

When the night takes you

Ahi ahi ahi ahi

Ahi ahi ahi ahi

Tra il cielo e la savana

Between the sky and the savanna

Tutto girava

Everything was spinning

Jambo Bwana

Jambo Bwana

Dicevi tu guardando me

You were saying looking at me

...

...

Guardando me

Looking at me

Ohohooh

Ohohooh

We're on top of the world

We're on top of the world

Continua a ballare

Keep dancing

Beautiful around us

Beautiful around us

Fino a quando ti pare

Until you feel like it

You and me

You and me

Come un'onda che sale

Like a wave that rises

Ohohooh

Ohohooh

E chi tace

And whoever is silent

Continua a cantare

Keep singing

The cause that you want

The cause that you want

Fino a che il tempo non scade

Until time runs out

Finché il mondo non cade

Until the world falls

E non c'è bisogno di niente

And there's no need for anything

Ahi ahi ahi ahi

Ahi ahi ahi ahi

Quando la notte ti prende

When the night takes you

Ahi ahi ahi ahi

Ahi ahi ahi ahi

Tra il cielo e la savana

Between the sky and the savanna

Tutto girava

Everything was spinning

Jambo Bwana

Jambo Bwana

Dicevi tu guardando me

You were saying looking at me

Guardando me

Looking at me
