A new name and the second album
A night club in Gothenburg had the registered name "Yaki-Da", at first the owners had nothing against Linda and Marie taking the name, but later they changed their minds. Linda and Marie couldn't used the name Yaki-Da in Sweden. Jonas Berggren became very successful with Ace of Base and didn't have the time to write or produce the second album for Yaki-Da. Under the new name Y-D (pronounced why - dee) Linda and Marie recorded the second album. With the help of some Scandinavian's best producers like Douglas Carr, Ole Evenrude, Jonas von der Burg, Candy Hill and Remee they released the album "A small step for love". The album sold very well in South Korea, but wasn't released on mainland Europe.

And I'll never be the same again for sure
I saw you dancing
Say Yaki-Da my love
I saw you dancing
And I'll never be the same again for sure
I saw you dancing
I'm waiting for a change
To get to know you
To ask for a dance
Just look into my eyes
And I'll take you to paradise
I saw you dancing
And I'll never be the same again for sure
I saw you dancing
Say Yaki-Da my love
I saw you dancing
And I'll never be the same again for sure
I saw you dancing
Say Yaki-Da
I'm falling, I'm falling
Cause life's not easy for me
Please touch me like you do
To have you near me
To go where you go
Why waste a lot of time
My love is not a serious crime
I saw you dancing
And I'll never be the same again for sure
I saw you dancing
Say Yaki-Da my love
I saw you dancing
And I'll never be the same again for sure
I saw you dancing
Say Yaki-Da
I'm falling to pieces
Who do you think you are
Maybe I've gone too far
Maybe I'm in love with you
Don't hurt me or treat me bad
Cause I will fight for what is mine
Say Yaki-Da
Cause life is meant for living
I saw you dancing
And I'll never be the same again for sure
I saw you dancing
Say Yaki-Da my love

Я видела, как ты танцевал,
И я никогда не буду прежней, я уверена,
Я видела, как ты танцевал,
Скажи: «Yaki-Da»1
, моя любовь
Я видела, как ты танцевал,
И я никогда не буду прежней, я уверена,
Я видела, как ты танцевал,
Скажи: «Yaki-Da».
Я жду шанса,
Чтобы узнать тебя лучше,
Пригласить на танец
Просто загляни в мои глаза
И ты окажешься в раю.
Я видела, как ты танцевал,
И я никогда не буду прежней, я уверена,
Я видела, как ты танцевал,
Скажи: «Yaki-Da», моя любовь
Я видела, как ты танцевал,
И я никогда не буду прежней, я уверена,

Скажи: «Yaki-Da».
Я не могу устоять, устоять,
потому что жизнь моя нелегка.
Пожалуйста, дотронься до меня, как ты умеешь,
быть рядом,
идти вместе,
зачем терять время?
Моя любовь не серьезное преступление
Я видела, как ты танцевал,
И я никогда не буду прежней, я уверена,
Я видела, как ты танцевал,
Скажи: «Yaki-Da», моя любовь.
Я видела, как ты танцевал,

Я рассыпаюсь на осколки,
кем ты себя считаешь?
может, я зашла слишком далеко,
может, я влюбилась в тебя
не делай мне больно и не обижай меня
потому что я буду бороться за то, что считаю своим
скажи «Yaki-Da»,
Потому что жизнь для того, чтобы ее прожить
Я видела, как ты танцевал,
И я никогда не буду прежней, я уверена,
Я видела, как ты танцевал,
Скажи: «Yaki-Da», моя любовь.
Я видела, как ты танцевал,
И я никогда не буду прежней, я уверена,
