Lyrics and translation Pink Martini - Pata Pata

Pata Pata

Saguquka sathi 'bheka' ["So we grooved, 'Check it out!'"]
Nants' iPata Pata ["This is the Pata Pata"]
Saguquka sathi 'bheka'
Nants' iPata Pata
Saguquka sathi 'bheka'
Nants' iPata Pata
Saguquka sathi 'bheka'

Pata Pata is the name of the dance
We do down Johannesburg where
And everybody starts to move
As soon as Pata Pata starts to play

Saguquka sathi 'bheka'
Nants' iPata Pata
Saguquka sathi 'bheka'
Nants' iPata Pata
Saguquka sathi 'bheka'
Nants' iPata Pata
Saguquka sathi 'bheka'

Yiyo mama, yiyo mama ["That's it, Lady"]
Nants' iPata Pata ["This is the Pata Pata"]
Yiyo mama, yiyo mama
Nants' iPata Pata
Yiyo mama, yiyo mama
Nants' iPata Pata
Yiyo mama, yiyo mama

Every Friday and Saturday Night
It's Pata Pata time!
The dance keeps going all night long
Til' the morning sun begins to shine!

Saguquka sathi 'bheka'
Nants' iPata Pata
Saguquka sathi 'bheka'

Который мы танцуем в Йоханнесбурге, где
Все начинают двигаться,
Как только начинает играть Пата Пата.

Пока не начнет светить утреннее солнце!
