Blame It on the Bossa Nova [German translation]

I was at a dance, when he caught my eye

Standing all alone, looking sad and shy

We began to dance, swaying to and fro

And soon I knew, I'd never let him go

Blame it on the bossa nova

With its magic spell

Blame it on the bossa nova

That he did so well

Oh, it all began with just one little dance

But soon it ended up a big romance

Blame it on the bossa nova

The dance of love

(Now, was it the moon?)

No, no, the bossa nova

(Or the stars above?)

No, no, the bossa nova

(Now, was it the tune?)

Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova

(The dance of love)

Now I'm glad to say, I'm his bride to be

And we're gonna raise a family

And when our kids ask, how it came about

I'm gonna say to them without a doubt:

Blame it on the bossa nova

With its magic spell

Blame it on the bossa nova

That he did so well

Oh, it all began with just one little dance

But soon it ended up a big romance

Blame it on the bossa nova

The dance of love

(Now, was it the moon?)

No, no, the bossa nova

(Or the stars above?)

No, no, the bossa nova

(Now, was it the tune?)

Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova

(The dance of love)

(Now, was it the moon?)

No, no, the bossa nova

(Or the stars above?)

No, no, the bossa nova

(Now, was it the tune?)

Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova

(The dance of love)
