Uye uye uye
Wo Dj undenzela Dj undenzela
Uye huye he hayi ya he
Use it the strong word kuba abhaqwe
Taking me higher and higher

Come on dance come on dance
Ungaze uwulwise ngathi umzimba unzima

Kumel' uthwalise ubon' ukba ziyabila

Come on dance come on dance
Sandla phezulu ubamb' izulu
Shukumis' impundu come on
Come on come on dance

Dance dance dance
Come on dance
Come on dance
Ungaze uwulwise ngathi umzimba unzima
Kumel' uthwalise ubon' ukba ziyabila

Come on dance come on dance
Sandla phezulu ubamb' izulu
Shukumis' impundu come on
Come on come on dance

Overall Meaning

The song "Dance" by Lungelo is an upbeat and lively track with a clear message: encouraging listeners to dance and move. The lyrics are simple, repetitive and catchy, making it easy for people to remember and sing along. The song opens with the lines "Uye uye uye, Wo Dj undenzela Dj undenzela," which roughly translates to "Hey hey hey, DJ do it for me." The song then moves on to talk about how dance can be transformative and liberating, with the lines "Ungaze uwulwise ngathi umzimba unzima, Kumel' uthwalise ubon' ukba ziyabila" roughly translating to "Don't hold back, move your body, see how the dance lights up the world."

The chorus, "Come on dance come on dance, Sandla phezulu ubamb' izulu, Shukumis' impundu come on, Come on come on dance" expresses the same idea in different words, with the emphasis on the physicality of the dance, encouraging people to reach towards the sky and move their bodies to the music. The song is ultimately about the joy and freedom of dance, and how it can bring people together and lift spirits.
