refrain:

hands up - olle hÄnd jetzt in die luft
weils grod fein is, fein is, weils grod grooved
hands up - und jetzt tanz ma no dazua
millions of dreads bis murgn in da frua
ey man, check me lying in the sun
with red eyes, between my fingers there is one
magic stone, l’m chilung and l'm fine
now let the sun burn let the sunshine be mine.
ey gyal, well unu hand ina di air,
ready fl wine yuh body over here and over there!
mi seh ey gyal and all people ina di place,
ready fl mash it up yes with a smile ina yuh face!
refrain

kumm baby kumm, kumm her zu mir.
kummst du dann ned, kumm l zu dir
hÄnd in die luft und loss di gehen,
weils grod fein is und so sche
kumm baby kumm, kumm amoi her,
l zoag da wos, des is ned schwer,
hÄnd in die luft jetz tanz und spring
und fang mi auf wenn l dann spring
rock, rock rock through di natural mystic night,
its a jungle and yuh may nah stop fl ride,
pon di riddim, so massive yes unite, no kidding
so massive yes yuh right!
wine it up and move yuh body,
shake it up to di left and right!
wine it up and show yuh hottie,




irie people yes unite!
refrain x4
