Heavy Samba [English translation]

I'm never coming back to your place for dinner

I don't want to hear

Songs of sadness, or melancholy

Last time I've been here

Saudade 1 got me

To think that I was happy before

I don't know what happened to me

I'm out, I'm sorry

I can't take it anymore

I feel so blue

I want to die

To think that I came here with the sole purpose

To have a nice shag with you

But with such a dirge...

How am I supposed to do? It's impossible

I can't take it

Don't you think?

Uh? Oh! Uh? Oh!

Hey, you, 2 watch your tongue when you're talking with me

Who do you think you a-huh?

All right, you came to my place for dinner

But I don't even know you

Damn! Baby sorry, sorry baby, baby sorry

I made another mistake

I just can't get anything right

I must have pressed the wrong doorbell

I must have rang to the wrong surname

But, since I'm here

We could go in the other room...hmm?

I like this idea, babe 3

It's just too bad, babe, that

In the other room, babe, babe

My boyfriend's sleeping

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

I'm done

Please make up some stories he would believe and save me

Babe!

And don't yell "babe", or I'll wake up

Oh babe, babe, I'm so, so sorry babe, babe

Poor babe, babe!

Yeah, babe this, babe that

But do you know what do we do down in Ipanema

When the situation gets really dangerous?

We dance the heavy samba

Standing on one leg

If just one sounds weird to you

Dance with both, if you want

And if you think that's nothing

You can do this other way

You can dance it with both arms

And you're the new Carla Fracci 4

And if you become the new Carla Fracci

Then it's done for everybody

How many new prospectives opens

Being the new Carla Fracci

How many new prospectives spreads out

Heavy samba!

It's not a problem for me

I come from Ipanema

And I don't care if we don't fuck

Let's dance the heavy samba

Uè, uè! 5 Hooray for heavy samba!

Let's do the conga

A E I O U Y 6

Who would've said it?

I was sleeping in my bed

When I woke up, breaking news

Let's dance the heavy samba

Uè, uè! You know what?

I'll drink a nice mojito

I'll mix it with my finger

But, sorry, Maria,7 I'd like to say something, before moving on to the singing contest, to Jonathan and to Kevin, that, the other evening, while rehearsing, made some jokes, I mean, I think they were really stupid jokes, about some people's sexuality, about my sexuality, about yours, I mean, it doesn't mean anything to me, whatever, anything, we're here to dance, to show what we've got inside, to show people our singing, our dancing, our acting, and look, the [perfect] example has been last year with Agata, who's been really an angel, she really moved me with her dancing and the whole "big feet" thing and stuff like that, I mean, I think it doesn't matter, what matters is what you're giving, matters how you dance, I think it's absurd, like, talking about someone's sexuality, I mean, who cares, besides, I really like dicks.

1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudade2. the music for this part, until "Per me non è un problema", is clearly a tribute to Led Zeppelin's sound. The woman singing is the popular (but not Zeppelin-related) Italian singer Irene Grandi.3. this song uses "beibo" to mock the widespread usage of the word "baby" or "babe" in Italian songs, reflecting the influence of Anglo-American popstars (see also "boyfriend", below).4. famous Italian ballet dancer.5. typical interjection in Neapolitan dialect, often heard in traditional songs.6. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfWSuAPJMZg&t=1m14s a song often used to do the conga at [New Year's Eve] parties.7. this part makes fun of the usual chatters that can be heard in a popular talent show, hosted by an Italian anchorwoman, Maria De Filippi.
