Ai rapaz [English translation]

Oh boy!

If you had any idea

How you make me feel

When I go to the dance hall

And I watch you dance

Oh oh, like a martial

I even tried dancing like that too

In this rhythm, every step with feeling

And I don't even like marching

Oh oh, but who saw me?

Oh boy, but I really wanted

A waltz with three steps

To give you my hand I see my life

Buried in your embrace, oh...

I went to sit

Right in the front

And there I waited

And to so many I denied

The pleasure of dancing with me

Oh oh, because that was reserved for you

But the bar also called for you

And meanwhile the band kept playing

And when you came back from there

Oh oh, the waltz ended

Oh boy, but I really wanted

To enter the circle and be your partner

To give you my hand and go crazy

And never let you go, oh oh...

So it was like that

That the circle was made

Off, wide

So many people, a lot of spree

And we were there in the crowd

Oh oh, with another partner

I kept switching

Partner to partner, I don't even know

How many exactly

And you came closer every time

And when there was only one left

Oh oh, the auction started

Oh boy, I really wanted

To have a well-guided dance

That would lead us to sacristy

And we would return as a married couple, oh

And from the stage

A voice sounded

And the band leader said:

"Manel switch, Maria turn

And who doesn't turn around loses the round!"

Oh oh, and so I turned

But the voice

Coming from the band leader

Asked for more

And the melody accelerated

And feet moved around the floor

Oh oh, and it was like that

Oh boy, it was the dance

Without any soul nor any feeling

Badly sung and badly guided

That made me fall down, oh oh

And it was you who gave me your hand
