English translation:
Liven Up
To our audience we say, we have come to liven up the town
To our audience we say, we are here to cheer people up
People with bad intentions are destroying everything
Selfishness is destroying people
Malicious gossip leads straight to hell
People who wear small shoes to your house often set people against each other
If you love someone, don’t listen to rumours
If you love someone, don’t listen to what people say behind their back
If I love someone, I don’t listen to mean words about them
We’re here to cheer people up and make them happy
Life’s about having fun, it’s about joy and celebration
While they laugh and shake their head
Still we coming in
Now love you lead the way
We go, go, go
We go, go, go
Now they laugh and shake their head
Still we coming in
Now love you lead the way
We go, go, go
We go, go, go
Let it play, let it play
Let’s make it a holiday
Every day, every day
A party every way
It’s a celebration
We salute all musicians
The role of musicians is to liven things up
Artists deserve respect
Our role is to make life cheerful
Mariam is here
With her man Bagayoko
Please greet all musicians for me
Their role is to make people happy
Please greet all musicians for me
Their role is to make people happy
While they laugh and shake their head
Still we coming in
Now love you lead the way
We go, go, go
We go, go, go
Now they laugh and shake their head
Still we coming in
Now love you lead the way
We go, go, go
We go, go, go
Let it play, let it play
Let’s make it a holiday
Every day, every day
A party every way

Me too came here after listening to it the Netflix movie The package..that was the best part of the movie for me
Derek
That was by far the best part of the movie....this song along with the beautiful views of British Columbia were completely out of place in that movie, but I'm so glad that scene was in there so I could find this song.
