Contononeia [English translation]

They move,

They move,

They move,

They move.

My hips move, I can't help it.

They're so deranged, they keep moving! Who can stop them?

My hips move.

And it's not because I'm flirting.

"No, no, of course not."

When I was a kid, everyone laughed at me.

Those perverse people enjoyed my sorrow.

They laughed because of how I move,

they used to call me "Contononeia"1.

And I kept crying like Magdalene, crying over my sentence.

And then, a nice day,

a fairy godmother told me:

"Stop crying, don't be dumb!

Your so-called imperfection

will grant your wishes.

Move them violently,

as you ask for anything you want..."

Move your hips, Contononeia.

Move them harder, Contononeia.

A dog dances for bones,

but the whole world dances for sex.

If you're smart enough,

no one, no one can stop you.

They move,

They move,

They move,

They move.

My hips move,

I can't help it.

They're so deranged, they keep moving! Who can stop them?

My hips move.

And it's not because I'm flirting.

"No, no, of course not."

Move your hips, Contononeia!

Move them without shame, Contononeia!

Move them harder, move them violently,

move them slowly, but never let them stop...

They move,

They move,

They move,

They move.

My hips move,

I can't help it.

They're so deranged, they keep moving! Who can stop them?

My hips move.

And it's not because I'm flirting.

I can't help it.
