I got love, I
I got love, I
И-и-и, а
Окутала меня, окутала
Ты будто мой сорт — мариуанна
Небо в алмазах, лето летало
Ты моя бэйби — дочь карнавала
Двигайся, крошка, принцесса бала
Ночь перемен, мысли растамана
Пока не устал музыка играла
Кто-то курил, кого-то впирало
Эта дура Дуремара, нам она
Было думал улетала в тёплые края
Лето, море, песок, но мне тебя мало
Танцую в пол, руки в потолок зала
Оттуда, куда пал, больше не вернусь
Чудом умотал и забрал с ней грусть
Это наша жизнь и ей всегда мало
Танцую в пол, руки в потолок зала
Go, everybody, shake your ass, go
Move, everybody — моё любимое шоу
Голова качала, бачата давала маннама
Облава болванов, налы наваров
Бутора валом подавай нам
Когда будет этот день ты пой про себя
Про меня, за любовь, за маму, за брата
А-то судьба загнёт ата-ата
А-та-ман, я типа а-та-ман
В жарком танго меломан, мною правит бадман
Танцуй! Так примитивно
Танцуй! Так импульсивно
Танцуй! Дочь карнавала
Тут на танцполе тебя было мало, мало
I got love, I feel, I got you on my mind
I got love, my skill, my la-la, la-la-life
I got love, I feel, I got you on my mind
I got love, my skill, my la-la, la-la-life
Jah, Jah, Jah Bless! Окна завесим
Буден опять принцесса и деспот
Лаврами не взять твой пыл, куролесим
И на волю по годам сорвёмся вместе
У-у-у, а-а-а!
У-у-у, а-а-а!
У-у-у, а-а-а!
У-у-у, а-а-а!
За мгновение облететь планеты нипочём
То барабанит дождь — тоска да печаль
Но ты светом добра озарила свободу
В танце двигали бёдра?
М-м, ты — моя румба, ты — моя самба
Ты — моя сальса, ты — моё танго
Дыма навали, volume наболтай
В этих объятиях со мною летай
Со мною летай, со мною летай
Со мною летай, со мною летай
Дыма навали, volume наболтай
В этих объятиях со мною летай
Со мною летай, со мною летай
Со мною летай, со мною летай
Дыма навали, volume наболтай
В этих объятиях со мною летай
I got love, I feel, I got you on my mind
I got love, my skill, my la-la, la-la-life
I got love, I feel, I got you on my mind
I got love, my skill, my la-la, la-la-life
Это всего лишь игра, может быть, наверно
Даже твоя нагота
Воу, детка, я не верю!
Падай в руки ко мне, моя красота
Мы с тобою без гида, так надо
Тронула душу твоя мне, мила, ламбада
Чтобы попой крутила, есть бит, не жаль саба
Я горю с тобою, как шмаль в пабах, дай жара!
Готовый я оформить всем вам лойс
Кто умеет делать шума — make some noise
Жара до утра, в угаре толпа
Но я смотрю, вишь, на тебя лишь, веришь, ма? (Ма?)
И когда станет клуб утром клевать носом
Я украду тебя, будто Азор розу
Улыбнусь в тишине и скажу просто:
«Иди ко мне, солнце, расплетай косы»
У-у-у, а-а-а!
Расплетай косы
У-у-у, а-а-а!
Расплетай косы
У-у-у, а-а-а!
Иди ко мне, солнце, расплетай косы
У-у-у, а-а-а!
Расплетай косы
I got love, I feel, I got you on my mind
I got love, my skill, my la-la, la-la-life
I got love, I feel, I got you on my mind
I got love, my skill, my la-la, la-la-life
I got love, I feel, I got you on my mind
I got love, my skill, my la-la, la-la-life
I got love, I feel, I got you on my mind
I got love, my skill, my la-la, la-la-life
I got love, I feel
I got love, I feel
