Just maybe I’m crazy
The world spins round and round and round
Shi-di-ri-di-duy, shi-di-ri-di-da-na
Shi-di-ri-di-duy, shi-di-ri-di-da-na
I want you to want me
As I dance round and round and round
Shi-di-ri-di-duy, shi-di-ri-di-da-na
Shi-di-ri-di-duy, shi-di-ri-di-da-na

Forever and ever
Go, go, go, wild dancers

Day-na-day-na, wanna be loved
Day-na, gonna take my wild chances
Day-na-day-na, freedom above
Day-na-day-na-dey, I’m wild n’ dancin’

Hey

Napevno, daremno
Bula ya nadto chemna
Shi-di-ri-di-duy, shi-di-ri-di-da-na
Shi-di-ri-di-duy, shi-di-ri-di-da-na

Dlya tebe, dlya sebe
Zastelyu tsile nebo
Hey… dam-dey
Shi-di-ri-di-duy, shi-di-ri-di-da-na

Bez zhalyu zapalyu
Hey, hey, dyki tantsi

Day-na-day-na, wanna be loved
Day-na, gonna take my wild chances
Day-na-day-na, freedom above
Day-na-day-na-dey, I’m wild n’ dancin’

Hey… ho…

Dance together, till the end of time
Dance together
Go, go, go, wild dancers

Day-na-day-na, wanna be loved
Day-na, gonna take my wild chances
Day-na-day-na, freedom above
Day-na-day-na-dey, I’m wild n’ dancin’

Hey, hey

Just maybe I’m crazy
The world spins round and round and round
Shi-di-ri-di-duy, shi-di-ri-di-da-na
Shi-di-ri-di-duy, shi-di-ri-di-da-na
I want you to want me
As I dance round and round and round

Hey

Probably, in vain
I was too obedient
Shi-di-ri-di-duy, shi-di-ri-di-da-na
Shi-di-ri-di-duy, shi-di-ri-di-da-na

For you and for myself
I’ll spread out the whole sky
Hey… dam-dey

I will set fire without any sorrow
Hey, hey, wild dances

Day-na-day-na-dey, I’m wild n’ dancin’

Hey… ho…

Dance forever, come and be mine
Dance together, till the end of time
Dance together
Go, go, go, wild dancers
