Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vem Diego com toda a alegria, festejando
Com a lua em seus olhos, roupa de água marinha
E seu jeito de malandro
E com magia e pura alma
Ele chega com a dança
Possuído pelo ritmo ragatanga
Toca o som da meia-noite
Pra Diego, a canção mais desejada
E ele dança, ele curte, ele canta
Aserehe ra de re
De hebe tu de hebere seibiunouba mahabi
An de bugui an de buididipi
Aserehe ra de re
De hebe tu de hebere seibiunouba mahabi
An de bugui an de buididipi
Aserehe ra de re
De hebe tu de hebere seibiunouba mahabi
An de bugui an de buididipi
(Diogo, ai Diego vai)
Não é por acaso que encontro todo dia (todo dia)
Cuando me voy caminhando
Diego tem sua magia e esta alegria
Rasta, rastafari Afro-cigana
E com magia e pura alma
Ele chega com a dança
Possuído pelo ritmo ragatanga
E o DJ que já conoce
Tocadinho de la danza
Para Diego la canción mas deseada
Ella baila, ele curte, ela canta
