Vamo' ya
Let's go now
Muévete, eh, olé
Move it, eh, olé
Muévete, eh y olé
Move it, eh and olé
Muévete, eh, olé
Move it, eh, olé
Muévete, eh y olé
Move it, eh and olé
Muévete
Move it
J'te vois dans la calle, tu te promènes
I see you in the street, you're strolling
Tu veux déjà l'acheter ton Cayenne
You already want to buy your Cayenne
T'aimerais trainer toujours les poches pleines
You'd love to always hang out with pockets full
Mais tu fais rien sept jours par semaine
But you do nothing seven days a week
Tu prétends que tu fais des affaires
You pretend that you're making deals
T'es du genre à parler sans rien faire
You're the type to talk without doing anything
Pour écouter les gens t'es trop fier
You're too proud to listen to people
Mais t'es trop borné
But you're too stubborn
T'as laissé filer ta chance tellement de fois
You've let your chance slip away so many times
Repoussé les gens qui t'aiment si loin de toi
Pushed away the people who love you so far from you
T'as laissé passer tes rêves, dis-moi pourquoi
You've let your dreams pass by, tell me why
Pourquoi, pourquoi
Why, why
J'te fais pas la morale mon frère mais
I'm not lecturing you, my brother, but
Tu passes tes journées à t'enfermer
You spend your days locking yourself away
Le monde continue de tourner, tourner
The world keeps on turning, turning
Et tu veux pas bouger
And you don't want to move
J'te fais pas la morale mon frère mais
I'm not lecturing you, my brother, but
Par la vie j'te sens pas concerné
In life, I don't sense you're concerned
Tous les démons en toi concernés
All the demons within you are involved
Et tu veux pas bouger
And you don't want to move
Tu parlais d'avenir, de projets
You were talking about the future, about plans
Si tu veux réussir, te poser
If you want to succeed, to settle down
Va falloir arrêter tes excès
You're going to have to quit your excesses
Prends le temps de grandir, d'avancer
Take the time to grow, to move forward
Tu dors dans la journée, et la nuit
You sleep during the day, and at night
Tu traines dans les quartiers, tu t'oublies
You wander through the neighborhoods, you forget yourself
Tu te fais baratiner par des amis
You let yourself be sweet-talked by friends
Soit disant amis qui te laissent à l'agonie
So-called friends who leave you in agony
T'as laissé filer ta chance, tellement de fois
You've let your chance slip away, so many times
Repoussé les gens qui t'aiment si loin de toi
Pushed away the people who love you so far from you
T'as laissé passer tes rêves, dis-moi pourquoi
You've let your dreams pass you by, tell me why
Pourquoi, pourquoi
Why, why
J'te fais pas la morale mon frère mais
I'm not giving you a lecture, my brother but
Tu passes tes journées à t'enfermer
You spend your days locking yourself away
Le monde continue de tourner, tourner
The world keeps on turning, turning
Et tu veux pas bouger
And you don't want to move
J'te fais pas la morale mon frère mais
I'm not preaching to you, my brother, but
Par la vie j'te sens pas concerné
In life, I don't feel like you're concerned
Tous les démons en toi concernés
All the demons inside you are concerned
Et tu veux pas bouger
And you don't want to move
Oye compadre, mueve
Hey buddy, move
Oye compadre, muévete
Hey buddy, move it
Oye compadre, mueve
Hey buddy, move
Oye compadre, muévete
Hey buddy, move it
Oye compadre
Hey buddy
Oye compadre
Hey buddy
Oye compadre
Hey buddy
J'te fais pas la morale mon frère mais
I’m not preaching to you, my brother but
Tu passes tes journées à t'enfermer
You spend your days locked away
Le monde continue de tourner, tourner
The world keeps spinning, spinning
Et tu veux pas bouger
And you don’t want to move
J'te fais pas la morale mon frère mais
I’m not preaching to you, my brother but
Par la vie j'te sens pas concerné
In life, I feel you’re not concerned
Tous les démons en toi concernés
All the demons inside you, they’re involved
Et tu veux pas bouger
And you don't want to move
Muévete, eh
Move it, eh
Oye, oye
Hey, hey
Uy mami, baila, baila
Oh baby, dance, dance
Muévete, eh
Move it, eh
Oye hermano, soy gitano
Hey brother, I'm a gypsy
Por eso soy de fiesta hoy
That's why I'm partying today
Vamo' allá, mi primo Mijo
Let's go, my cousin Mijo
Soy gitano de corazón, gitano puro
I'm a gypsy at heart, pure gypsy
