Salsa [English translation]

J-Ax

She’s with you (eh)

But she seems like a cat that eats a mouse, she’s the fair of the East (eh)

I pretend I don’t know her, but she’s really the fair of the ex

She was with me, with Nek too, and with three others

Your new girl’s gone through more seasons than Big Brother (Big Bro, yeah)

These are little boys, the lady eats them up like sandwiches

If she swaps them with her girlfriends, these cards

I’ve got it, I don’t, I’ve got it, I don’t, like Panini’s1

The rules tear her Amiri jeans

I put on a patch from Lundini2

I’m roast pig and you’re sashimi

I’ll ruin your livestream with a burp

We’re just waiting for us all to be here

We’re gypsies in the streets, out all night long

Tonight only those nasty ones come in

Because at the sea you don’t need manners

And tell me, tell me that

In this dark night, at dinner in a tank top

Everything will come true, and now that my band is playing

To dance the Bamba

Jump, salsa

You’ve got written on your t-shirt

No, bro, wrong year, start over

The token’s down and you go (yeah), like on the tagada (yeah)

We’re made for each other

You make the salsa, I’ll make the pasta

To the first decree was: “Enough”

To the last instead was: “Bastard”

The over 65 from AstraZeneca3

Hit the bong on the beach like in Senegal

We’ll be saved this time too

With a big mouth and a short memory

And you’ll shout all night long, all night long

You drink one shot too many

And then you stay up all night, all morning

And even a bit the night after

We’re just waiting for us all to be here

We’re gypsies in the streets, out all night long

Tonight only those nasty ones come in

Because at the sea you don’t need manners

And tell me, tell me that

In this dark night, at dinner in a tank top

Everything will come true, and now that my band is playing

To dance the Bamba

I sweat away the poison because here even the air is a weight

I raise my hands and push the sky up (Jump, jump)

I was caged in, now escaped

I go til sunrise with my bros

If you don’t take another we’re not going away

He’s got on his wrist a $20k Audemars (Ah)

He’s got Dior sunglasses too (Ah)

But if he’s the Wish version of Elon Musk4

With a look like: Shock, because5

Then she won’t look at his Louis Vuitton’s

But at us shirtless in the booth

We’re just waiting for us all to be here

We’re gypsies in the streets, out all night long

Tonight only those nasty ones come in

Because at the sea you don’t need manners

And tell me, tell me that

In this dark night, at dinner in a tank top

Everything will come true, and now that my band is playing

To dance the Bamba

Jump, salsa
