Lyrics
The lyrics of Andrea Jürgens' songs are mainly about typical schlager themes, like friendship and love. The divorce theme in her very first hit "Und dabei liebe ich euch beide" (1977) was a major exception. In the German schlager scene divorce was a taboo subject until 1970s; the lyrics were mainly about harmonious relationships. During the decade, the reforms and discussion about the reasons and consequencies of divorce changed all this.

Wir tanzen Lambada
Andrea Jürgens Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Der Abend hat Freudenfeuer angemacht
Zwei Augen versprechen eine heiße Nacht
Lass uns das Fieber der Liebe spüren
Auch wenn wir beide dann den Halt verlieren
Ich folge wie ein Schatten dir im grellen Licht
Und schmiege meinen Körper zärtlich fest an dich
Diese Musik macht alle an
Sie zieht meine Sehnsucht in ihren Bann

Wir tanzen Lambada eine ganze Nacht
Weil der Lambada verrückt auf Liebe macht
Spürst du wie das Feuer in mir brennt
Beim Tanz, den die Welt Lambada nennt

Ich schließe meine Augen
Und ich flieg' mit dir
Vom Rhythmus getragen ganz weit fort von hier
Heute will ich den Himmel sehen
Komm, lass diesen Tanz nie zu Ende gehen

Wir tanzen Lambada eine ganze Nacht
Weil der Lambada verrückt auf Liebe macht
Spürst du wie das Feuer in mir brennt
Beim Tanz, den die Welt Lambada nennt

Wir tanzen Lambada eine ganze Nacht
Weil der Lambada verrückt auf Liebe macht
Spürst du wie das Feuer in mir brennt
Beim Tanz, den die Welt Lambada nennt

Wir tanzen Lambada eine ganze Nacht
Weil der Lambada verrückt auf Liebe macht
Spürst du wie das Feuer in mir brennt
Beim Tanz, den die Welt Lambada nennt

Wir tanzen Lambada eine ganze Nacht

Weil der Lambada verrückt auf Liebe macht
Spürst du wie das Feuer in mir brennt

The singer follows her partner like a shadow in the bright light and presses her body gently against his. The music is irresistible and draws her desires into its spell.

The chorus is an invitation to dance the Lambada all night long, because this dance drives people crazy with its sensuality and its power to arouse feelings of love and desire. The singer wants her partner to feel the fire that is burning inside her while they dance this dance that the whole world knows.

Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of ecstasy and reckless abandonment to the power of love and dance. The Lambada is seen as a primal force that can unlock the deepest desires of the heart.
