Lyrics and translation Sud Sound System - Sciamu a ballare




Sciamu a ballare
Let's Go Dancing
Beddrha preparate stasira n'c'è na festa
Get ready, beautiful, tonight there's a party
Ne sciamu a ballare annanzi a mare (yeah!)
Let's go dancing by the sea (yeah!)
C'è gli amici cu le amiche annu de pressa
Friends with their girlfriends are in a hurry
Nu li facimu spettare ca a ddrhai imu scire
Let's not make them wait, we'll leave right away
Ca sulla litoranea nc'ète già casinu
Because on the coast road it's already chaotic
Tocca cu riamu mprima cu nu ne imbottigliamu
We need to laugh before we get stuck in traffic
Cussi ca mancu nu menutu ne li perdimu
So we don't waste a single minute
Stai bona dai camina mena scià ballamu
Come on, walk faster, let's go dancing
Eccebète oimmena quanta gente
Wow, look at all these people
Tutti pijati bueni te stu ritmu avvolgente
Everyone's caught up in this captivating rhythm
Sienti bellu discu ca lu selecta sta minte
Listen to this beautiful record that this DJ is spinning
Sienti bella ndore ca intra l'aria se sente
Feel the beautiful scent that fills the air
E quistu è sulu l'iniziu te stà grande serata
And this is just the beginning of this great evening
La parte chiù bella mica ncora a riata
The best part hasn't even started yet
A bbitere quandu tutti li cantanti se cucchianu
Later, when all the singers go to sleep
E unu dopu l'auru sullu microfono cantanu
And one after the other, they sing on the microphone
Fatte beddrha pe sta sira na festa
Get dressed up for tonight, there's a party
Ne sciamu a ballare a nnanzi a mare
Let's go dancing by the sea
C'ète musica dal vivu a sulla spiaggia
There's live music on the beach
Spettamu lu sule ca te ddrhai a riare
We'll wait for the sun to rise again from there
Spettu finu a quando sentu ca lu ritmu è giustu
I wait until I feel the rhythm is right
Nu riescu cu me tegnu cu melodie tocca cumpangnu
I can't hold back when the melody touches my soul
Stu tiempu ca nu me cuttentu sulu ballu
This time I'm not holding back, I'm just dancing
Quiddrhu riestu ca me chiama ogne fiata cu mpunnu
That thing that calls me every time I push myself
Senza nci penzu ddo fiate me nvicinu allu selecta
Without thinking twice, I approach the DJ
Ncora chiù presciata quannu la gente me sta spetta
Even more excited when people are waiting for me
Ncè nu motivu ci lassu tuttu pe sta danza
There's a reason I leave everything for this dance
Quista ae alla gente cauta ca ne tae ancora chiù forza
This is what people sing, it gives us even more strength
Moi moi gira stù discu ca ieu nun ci spettu cchiui
Come on, spin this record, I can't wait any longer
Moi tamme ritmu ca mpoggia li pensieri mei
Give me rhythm that lifts my thoughts
Moi moi ogghiu cantu percè me stà presciu
Come on, today I sing because I feel it
Lu core miu è cautu e pe bui stà pigghia fuecu
My heart is singing and wants to catch fire for you
Lu suonu mo intra l'aria tae sapore te festa
The sound now in the air has the flavor of a party
La gente nu stà cerca cussi cu se ndefrisca
People are looking for a way to cool down
E nu stà biciu l'ura ccantu quiddrhu ca penzu
And I'm not watching the time, I'm singing what I think
Basta te quardi ntornu e sai quiddrhu ca sentu
Just look around and you'll know what I feel
Ci canta e ci balla suntu na cosa sula
Those who sing and dance are one
È meiu stai cu mie e nu te sienti chiù sula
It's better to be with me and not feel alone anymore
Lu giurnu me distrugge ma la notte consola
The day destroys me but the night consoles me
Percene cu la musica è na cosa sula
Because with music we are one
Se moi tie ai te pressa stù ritmu te rilassa
If you're in a hurry now, this rhythm will relax you
Se mo nu tieni voglia sta danza te risveglia
If you don't feel like it now, this dance will awaken you
Se nu la canuscivi mo nu la puei lassare
If you didn't know it before, now you can't leave it
Stà ria te lu Salentu ma rimane inta lu core
This is the spirit of Salento, but it stays in your heart
Sciamune, sciamune beddrha maniciate
Let's go, let's go, beautiful, hand in hand
Mena moi iestite, c'è buei tie mintite
Come on now, let's go out, don't lie to me
Tantu me piaci sempre e comunque
I always like you anyway
sempre bella quando semplice
You're always beautiful when you're simple
Hoimmena c'è beddra stasira
Wow, you're so beautiful tonight
Sinti propiu na luce ntra l'aria
I feel a light in the air
Ae chiu te n'ura ca te sta spettu
It's been more than an hour that I've been waiting for you
N'amu fumatu già quasi tuttu
We've already smoked almost everything
Poi nu me dire ca te sta scattu
Then don't tell me you're snapping at me
Ca imme scire ieu te lia dittu
Because I told you we were going out
Ca stau de sciana stasera
Because I'm going out tonight
Oiu sentu musica 'ntra l'aria
I want to hear music in the air
Oiu mpunnu a cu fazzu casinu
I want to push those who make trouble
Selecta gira lu discu ca a quai ni dirtimu

Ncete li dj pronti unu pe dunu
There are DJs ready, one by one
Cussi culla gente ne unimu
So that we can unite with the people
Beddrha preparate stasira pe' la festa
