"Pata Pata" is the name of a dance we do down Johannesburg way.
And everybody starts to move as soon as "Pata Pata" starts to play - whoo

Saguquga sathi bega nantsi Pata Pata
Saguquga sathi bega nantsi Pata Pata
Saguquga sathi bega nantsi Pata Pata
Saguquga sathi bega nantsi Pata Pata

Hiyo mama hiyo ma nantsi Pata Pata

Saguquga sathi bega nantsi Pata Pata
Saguquga sathi bega nantsi Pata Pata
Saguquga sathi bega nantsi Pata Pata
Saguquga sathi bega nantsi Pata Pata

Whoo, every Friday and Saturday night it's "Pata Pata" time
The dance keeps going all night long till the morning sun begins to shine - hey!
Aya sat wuguga sat - wo-ho-o

Saguquga sathi bega nantsi Pata Pata
Saguquga sathi bega nantsi Pata Pata
Saguquga sathi bega nantsi Pata Pata
Saguquga sathi bega nantsi Pata Pata

Hiyo mama hiyo ma nantsi Pata Pata
Hiyo mama hiyo ma nantsi Pata Pata
Hiyo mama hiyo ma nantsi Pata Pata
Hiyo mama hiyo ma nantsi Pata Pata

Saguquga sath' - hit it!
Aah- saguquga sath' - nantsi - hit it!
Saguquga sathi bega nantsi Pata Pata
