Lyrics[]
Sous les caresses du soleil
Entre ciel et mer, oublie les galères
Et si la vie te mène en bateau
Laisse-toi aller et viens danser
Si t'as l'amour en mille morceaux
Et le cœur à plat, l'bonheur à zéro
J'ai ce qu'il te faut pour te soigner
Un p'tit coup de rein bien balancé
Bouge, bouge les mains, le corps et les reins
Laisse-moi bercer jusqu'au bout de l'été
Bouge, bouge les mains, le corps et les reins
Sur la musique pour s'aimer
Ého, coco dance, é upa upa aroha
Ého, coco dance, é ori aroha
(Ah...)
Tahiti aux Îles du Vent
Le sable doré sur ma peau bronzé
On est bien plus près du paradis
Pour aller danser le tamouré
Bouge, bouge les mains, le corps et les reins
Laisse-moi bercer jusqu'au bout de l'été
Bouge, bouge les mains, le corps et les reins
Sur la musique pour s'aimer
Ého, coco dance, é upa upa aroha
Ého, coco dance, é ori aroha
Ori aroha
Ého (Ta tohara ori i te)
Ého, coco dance
(Ta tohara ori i te)
Ého, coco dance
(Ta tohara ori i te)
Ého, coco dance, é upa upa aroha
Ého, coco dance, é ori aroha
Coco dance
Underneath the caress of the sun
Between heaven and sea, forget your ordeals
And if life leads you by boat
Let yourself go and come dancing
If your love is in thousand pieces
And your heart empty, your luck below zero
I have what you need to take care of yourself
That's to have a good stretch
Move, move your hands, your body and your back
Let me sway until the end of the summer
Move, move your hands, your body and your back
To the music that makes us fall in love
Hey oh, coco dance, it's the music of love
Hey oh, coco dance, it's the dance of love
(Ah...)
Tahiti on the Windward Islands
The golden sand on my tanned skin
We're indeed closer to paradise
To go dance the tāmūrē
Move, move your hands, your body and your back
Let me sway until the end of the summer
Move, move your hands, your body and your back
To the music that makes us fall in love
Hey oh, coco dance, it's the music of love
Hey oh, coco dance, it's the dance of love
The dance of love
Hey oh (Join us in our dance)
Hey oh, coco dance
(Join us in our dance)
Hey oh, coco dance
(Join us in our dance)
Hey oh, coco dance, it's the music of love
Hey oh, coco dance, it's the dance of love
Coco dance
