Lyrics
Take the strut of a sexy woman
Add the sway of a summer breeze
Stir in shivers of hot emotion
Shake it up, set it free
Take the sizzle of a shiny sunburst
Sprinkle in the sifting of a sandy beach
Season with the slap of a suspicious mistress
Shake it up, set it free
All the way from Patagonia to the Gulf of Mexico
Everybody seems to feel it, everybody seems to know
There?s a pulse of life that?s beating in a never-ending dance
And the rhythm that?s repeating is the heartbeat of romance
Take a shout from the street of children
Add the slide of a wave at sea
Stir in splashes of sudden laughter
Shake it up, set it free
All the way from Patagonia...
They?re cookin? it up in Harlem and they?re cookin? it down in Cuba
Everyone feeds the inspiration (woh-oh-woh-oh-oh...)
They?re cookin?it in Morocco and they?re cookin? it in Aruba
Everyone feeds the fascination (woh-oh-woh-oh-oh...)
They?re cookin? it on the playground and they?re cookin?it on La Playa
Everyone feeds the liberation (woh-oh-woh-oh-oh...)
They?re cookin?it in the bedroom and it?s takin? them even higher
A recipe for rhythm to feed the soul
Do Caribe à Patagônia rolam ondas tropicais
Sons de congas e atabaques, tamborins e tudo mais
A cuica geme e chora no calor de mil verões
E na emoção da batucada batem forte os corações
Take the strut of a sexy woman...
