Mambo
Nikki Vianna Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, mambo, mambo Italiano
Hey, mambo

Take my hand
Take the lead when we take the dance, romance
Understand, if you play your part
I will take a chance, climax

Symmetry
Sway me so skillfully
Feel the heat just like we're in Sicily
Take a man
Lay me to the floor to the motherland
Tonight we dance

Hey, mambo
Hands on my body when we sway mambo
Move with my body when we play mambo
Mambo Italiano
Dance with me, baby, to the mambo like we're crazy, yeah

Hey, mambo
Hands on my body when we sway mambo
Move with my body when we play mambo
Mambo Italiano
Dance with me, baby, to the mambo like we're crazy, yeah

Side to side
Back and forth like a bumpy ride, hold tight
Eye to eye, face to face
Lean me left to right all night

Symmetry
Sway me so skillfully
Feel the heat just like we're in Sicily
We're on the ride
Where it goes, I let you decide
Now don't be shy

Hey, mambo
Hands on my body when we sway mambo

We only came, came for some fun
So put your hands 'round my waist
Maybe you'll get a taste, yeah
No, I don't wanna get out this club (oh, no, no, no)
So you don't wanna be falling in love (falling in love)
We only came, came for some fun
So put your hands 'round my waist
Maybe you'll get a taste

@luna__9614

This comment section is lowkey annoying. No, she did not copy Iggy Azalea’s Lola. This song is sampling a much older song ‘Mambo Italiano’ Written in 1954 where it has been covered by many; names such as Dean Martin, Bridgette Bardot, Sophia Loren, Rosemary Clooney. Listen to Americano by Lady Gaga as well, the song is sampled in that one as well. They just have a similar sample, no one is copying. :/

@gulle7578

Sophia Lorena isn't the original either. She too was inspired

@danielhanna5463

If there is evidence of significant usage of past songs, she can’t claim copyright infringement, because she doesn’t have the rights to this song because those rights go to people like dean Martin

The 1954 version is better. Way,way, way better. A lot of old-school italians would be pissed to see the music video and hear the song to realize this woman messed up a good song.
