Keep On Dancing
Parov Stelar & Marvin Gaye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I was too nervous, to really get down
But my body yearned to be free
I got up on the floor, somebody could choose me
Keep on dancing, dancing, dancing
Keep on dancing, dancing, dancing
Oh yeah, shake it down
Oh yeah, oh yeah, shake it down
No more standing there beside the walls
Finally got myself together, baby, and I'm having a ball
Long as you're grooving, there's always a chance
I got up on the floor, somebody could choose me
Keep on dancing, dancing, dancing
Keep on dancing, dancing, dancing
Got to give it up, give it up, got to give it up, yeah
Keep on dancing, dancing, dancing, yeah
Oh yeah, shake it down
Oh yeah, shake it down
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Tumble, two of us, tumble, two of us, keep on dancing
The lyrics to Parov Stelar's 'Keep on Dancing' featuring Marvin Gaye speak of the joy of letting go and losing oneself in dance. They begin with the singer reminiscing about his earlier self who was too nervous to dance, but whose body yearned to be free. The singer then describes how he finally got up on the floor and began to dance. He encourages the listener to keep dancing and to never stop moving to the music. The song ends with the phrase "tumble, two of us, tumble, two of us, keep on dancing," which is a call to dance with someone special and let yourself fall into the music together.

In the past, I used to attend events and stay stationary in one spot.
'Cause I was too nervous, to really get down
I felt anxious and uncomfortable to dance freely.
But my body yearned to be free
Despite my reservations, my physical wants begged for unrestrained movement.
I got up on the floor, somebody could choose me
Eventually, I started dancing so that others could ask me to join them.
Keep on dancing, dancing, dancing
Encouragment to keep moving without apprehension.
Oh yeah, shake it down
An exclamation urging one to dance ecstatically.
No more standing there beside the walls
I stopped hanging around the edges and got involved in the center.
Finally got myself together, baby, and I'm having a ball
I finally got over my fears and anxieties and I am now enjoying myself fully.
Long as you're grooving, there's always a chance
If you are dancing and having fun, there is always a chance for new experiences and adventures.
Got to give it up, give it up, got to give it up, yeah
Urging one to let go and give in to the music and the moment.
Tumble, two of us, tumble, two of us, keep on dancing
Continue to dance, keeping the energy and rhythm alive.
