Tam Tam
Banda Magda Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Si tu veux que je joue mon tambour
Tou tou tou tou, à ton tour
Teinte ton rythme et impressionne-moi
Si tu veux que je fasse tam tam
Faut que tu me donnes tous tes charmes,
Teinte ton rythme et impressionne-moi
Teinte ton rythme et impressionne-moi
Si tu veux que je fasse tam tam
Impressionne-moi, danse devant moi
Faut que je vois comment tu danses
Si tu veux que j'avance
Impressionne-moi, danse devant moi
Si tu veux que je fasse tam tam.
Si tu veux que je devienne soleil
Brille d'un éclat de feu vermeille
Fais toi volcan et impressionne-moi
Si tu veux que je devienne la lune
Cherche mon reflet sur ta lagune
Nage comme un dieu et impressionne-moi
Nage comme un dieu et impressionne-moi
Si tu veux que je fasse tam tam
Fais-moi voir que quand tu danses
Tu mets les étoiles en transe
Fais-moi voir que quand tu bouges
Ta lagune devient toute rouge
Fais-moi voir que quand tu sonnes
L'univers entier se donne
Fais-moi voir que quand tes mains




M'attrapent
Tu te donnes à moi.

Mama Magda is everything! I love this stuff! Well done guys and dolls. Marry me, Magda!

Just finding his after seeing something from Andres Rotmistrovsky, and I gotta say; this is a cool song. Took me a minute to find the 1, but once I did I was totally grooving.

Some kind of magic has gotten better of me

Ground up is becoming the GRP label of the 21st Century. As a Greek i can be more proud than to see Magda at her roster.

@Tahrick

The tune was incredible.
The set design was incredible.

My favorite visual bit was Justin and the backdrop behind him.

@magdalinigiannikou

We love Justin's backdrop as well! It's the most use my shoes have ever gotten!
