Balkan Beat Box Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You better listen
The b-b-b train is riding on a rhythm
We know they're hungry so we better feed them
Skip the bullshit and give some of oh!
Pick up your clapping hands and pay attention
From the middle east to the open nations
We're coming straight to your ears no complications
Az yalla yalla (so c'mon c'mon) come on give me some of oh!
Here we go go!
You better listen
The b-b-b train is riding on a rhythm
We know they're hungry so we better feed them
Skip the bullshit and give some of oh!
Pick up your clapping hands and pay attention
From the middle east to the open nations
We're coming straight to your ears no complications
Az yalla yalla (so c'mon c'mon) come on give me some of oh!

The lyrics to Balkan Beat Box's "Hermetico" are a call to attention and action, urging listeners to pay attention to the rolling rhythms of the "b-b-b train" and join in with clapping hands and "some of oh!" The song mixes Hebrew and English, as well as references to Mexican and American cultures, creating a fusion of sounds and influences that is characteristic of Balkan Beat Box's style.
The verses are a mix of Hebrew and English, with references to drinking coffee and eating doughnuts in American parks, as well as a desire to return to Mexico. All these references come together in the chorus, with the repeated refrain of "here we go go" and "yalla yalla" (meaning "let's go" in Arabic), and the call to feed the hungry and skip the bullshit. The use of multiple languages and cultures creates a sense of unification and shared experience in the music.

How good I am in America
Drinking coffee and a donut in the park with Erica
And with enough accent there might be a kiss here
It's better to keep a nice look - psychopathic
Playing her a Serenade in Hermetico
And she wants me to shut up and go away
I go into a deep depression Hermetico
I want to go home or rather - to Mexico
play it like some mariachi
In black Gucci or Versace suits
Playing in the street for an empty hat and chilling
i love America, look I'm back
Boo-ya Boo-ya!

@unholyzoe
This song SLAPS and now I know Jason Derulo had his version.
@mikeblackist
In the Balkans, We only play this masterpiece at funerals.
True story.
@BearWindAppleyard
I knew that part in "talk dirty to me" had to be from somewhere else
@alexandergil-tinoco2435
BearWindAppleyard same
@swite989
@DenLik That is what he meant. Derulo stole it.
@jadesteelgaming6627
Yeah
@ashkirby8896
Turns out that this song sampled stuff too! 0:09 samples the intro of No Dudes De Mi Amor, 0:19 samples Jungle Love, and 3:13 samples Fugue in C Minor.
@Revision8theories
How did you know??
@ianbrudnakvoss3126
can we just set all the sampling aside and agree that this is a goddamn banger
@gabrielbotsford791
Yup
