Bolero
Raffaella Carrà Lyrics

Hey baby, what are you doing?
Asking someone what they're currently occupied with

Ah Just sitting around digging the sounds,
Responding to the previous question by stating that the person is listening to music

How bout that?
Asking for confirmation or agreement on the previous statement

Hey, why dont we go out?
Suggesting that the two people should leave and do something together

I wanna train you into a new dance,
Proposing to teach the other person a new dance style

Its naked,
Describing the dance as being sensual or intimate

Its called:
Introducing the name of the dance

Bolero!
Announcing the name of the dance style

Singin' around my radio,
Describing someone singing along with music on the radio

Beautiful day tomorrow,
Making a hopeful observation about the upcoming day

Mirror without a shadow,
Using imagery to describe a clear, bright reflection

Lights my body and so
Continuing the description of the bright light; possibly referring to feeling energized

Oh oh oh ooh
A repeated vocalization commonly used in music for effect

Uoh oh oh!
Additional vocalization used for effect

Shufflin a million dollars,
Figuratively describing feeling like one has a lot of money

Drinkin a cup of coffee,
Describing consuming a common hot beverage

Gettin a lucky number,
Referring to receiving a fortunate or advantageous number

Smokin a cigarette.
Describing the act of smoking a cigarette

Now together,
Referring to the time spent with the other person after suggesting a dance lesson

We're together now,
Confirming that the two people are spending time together

Nothing more,
Stating that nothing else is happening

Than you and me.
Emphasizing that the time spent together is between just the two of them; possible romantic connotation

Come on, baby, and spend a year with me,
Inviting someone to be with the singer for an extended period of time

Baby, baby, its in my latin blood.
Expressing passion or enthusiasm for something rooted in Latin culture

Bolero, bolero,
Repeating the name of the dance style

Like a terrific explosion,
Using imagery to describe the intensity of a feeling or event

I remember that dreaming illusion,
Recalling a memory or past experience

Lovin my shaking confusion,
Possibly referring to enjoying a state of uncertainty or chaos

Sweet the lonely the hit of the night!
Expressing appreciation for a particular feeling or sensation experienced at night
