Run and play, little child
You shouldn't stay idle, little child
Run and play, child, child, child...
To run and play
Come on boy, let's run and play
You shouldn't run away
You shouldn't run away, come on boy
Hey, the one who stood on fire
You are pushing her onto flowers
Why do you pinch my life with your eyes?
Super! The dance is super!
Super! The pair is super!
To run and play
Come on girl, let's run and play
You shouldn't run away
You shouldn't run away, come on girl
Hey, when standing beside you
My deep breath tastes sweet
When you step away
My soul catches fire
Super! Chorus: Awesome babe!
Male: The dance is super!
Chorus: The whistles are going to blow the roof off now!
Male: Super! Chorus: She is our girl!
Male: The pair is super!
Without noise, without war
Give me a kiss, girl
You and I joining together
Shall we run away together?
In your voice, in your voice
When you call me affectionately
My own name feels so sweet to hear, man
Hey, when you laugh, when you laugh
When my eyes behold your beauty
Hey, I forget to blink, girl
If I walk holding your hands
Won't electricity surge through me?
Super! Chorus: Awesome babe!
Male: The dance is super!
Chorus: The whistles are going to blow the roof off now!
Male: Super! Chorus: She is our girl!
Male: The pair is super!
[Music]
In your heart, in your heart, if anyone asks how many people there are
You must say I am the only girl, man
Oh, between your heart and my heart
If you measure the distance
There isn't even a thread's width, girl
Don't you ever leave me and go
Hey, if you leave, my life won't survive
Super! Chorus: Awesome babe!
Male: The dance is super!
Chorus: The whistles are going to blow the roof off now!
Male: Super! Chorus: She is our girl!
The pair is super!
Brother-in-law, a loving spear
To run and play
Come on boy, let's run and play
Haan.. haan.. haan
You shouldn't run away
You shouldn't run away, come on girl
Hey.. hey.. hey
Hey, the one who stood on fire
You are pushing her onto flowers
Why do you pinch my life with your eyes?
Super! The dance is super!
Super! The pair is super!
