La leçon de twist [English translation]

From everywhere, you hear nothing but this:

a new tune that comes from down under.

A new tune that tears up the floor,

and, like me, it will grab you.

It's a dance with a catchy rhythm

and it swings when danced by two.

No need for sweet gazes in the eyes.

It's enough just to be happy.

Twist and twist—you will all do it!

Twist and twist—and you will see everyone!

Twist and twist—the entire world twists!

One foot in front and both hands closed,

lean slightly over to one side,

and don't forget also to twist.

A bit more work and you have it.

That's it—yes like that!

And if tonight you go out and flirt

in the hope of hooking up,

then just do the twist like this.

I know that you will score!

Twist and twist—you will all do it!

Twist and twist—and you will see everyone!

Twist and twist—the entire world twists!

Run a little and jump from time to time.

Then lower yourself very slowly—

all the while swinging.

That's it—now you have it!

There it is—that's it—yes that!

There it is—good—change nothing!

There it is—do the twist!
