Pata Pata

This song was recorded by Chayanne and an artist from
South Africa, named Miriam Makeba.
Much of what she sings is in the Afrikaan language.
The best we could do, was to translate the parts
where Chayanne sings in Spanish. This song was first popular in 1967.

PATA PATA

Pon tu mano con la mía,
dando vueltas, gira, gira,
para abajo, para arriba,
con calor, con alegría.

Ven a bailar, ven a bailar!

Todos los días, cuando empieza
a anochecer, es tiempo de
Pata Pata. Y es una fiesta
contínua toda la noche. Hasta
que el sol de la mañana comienza
a brillar.

¡Vénga!

Pon tu mano con la mía,
dando vueltas, gira, gira,
para abajo, para arriba,
con calor, con alegría.

Ven a bailar, ven a bailar!

Miriam, gracias por enseñarme
Pata Pata, y yá sabes....
te quiero!

¡Vénga!

Pon tu mano con la la mía,
para abajo, para arriba.

Pon tu mano con la mía,
para abajo, para arriba.

Yi yo mama yiyo mama

Miriam Makeba - Jerry Ragovoy
Letra En Español: Juan Mardi

Come along, Chayanne.
Let's do the Pata Pata,
together.

And now that Chayanne
is doing the Pata Pata,
I am sure the whole world
is going to be dancing it
with him.

Hey....

Dancing Pata Pata.

Put your hand on mine,
then turning, spin and spin,
going down and coming up,
with ardor, with joy!

Come and dance, come and dance...
Come and dance, come and dance...
Come and dance, come and dance...
Come and dance, come and dance...

Daily, when the night starts to fall,
is time to Pata Pata. And it's a
continuous party through the night,
until the sun in the early morning,
starts to shine.

Come on...

Put your hand on mine,
then turning, spin and spin,
going down, coming up,
with ardor, with joy!

Pata Pata is the name of the
dance we do down in Soweto.
Everybody starts to move, as
soon as Pata Pata begins to
play.

Come and dance, come and dance...
Come and dance, come and dance..
Come and dance, come and dance...
Come and dance, come and dance...

Miriam, thank you for teaching me
the Pata Pata, and you already know...
I love you!

Come on...

Put your hand on mine...

Going down, coming up.

Put your hand on mine...

Going down, coming up.

Put your hand on mine...

Going down, coming up.....
