Pata Pata

It's the time to sit it out (this is no pata pata)
Stay at home and wait it out (and no pata pata)
Uhm, this is what we gotta do, mama (this is no pata pata)
Hayi, this is what we gotta do, papa (and no pata pata)

We need to keep our hands clean (this is no pata pata)
Don't touch your face, keep your distance please (this is no pata pata)
Don't groove any longer unless if you're smarter (this is no pata pata)
Let's come together, sing this papa (say no pata pata)

Pata pata means to touch and to feel
Which we shouldn't do
Everybody can help fight Covid-19
By doing what we need to do

It's the time to sit it out (this is no pata pata)
Stay at home and wear it out (and no pata pata)
Uhm, this is what we gotta do, mama (this is no pata pata)
Hayi, this is what we gotta do, papa (and no pata pata)

We need to keep our hands clean (this is no pata pata)
Don't touch your face, keep your distance please (this is no pata pata)
Don't groove any longer unless if you're smarter (this is no pata pata)
Let's come together and sing this papa (say no pata pata)

In this time of Coronavirus
It's no touch time
The virus can be beaten by us
And soon, the coast will be clear again

Oh-oh-oh-oh (this is no pata pata)
Hit it (and no pata pata)
Oh-oh-oh-oh (this is no pata pata)
(And no pata pata)
Ma hiyo ma, hiyo ma (this is no pata pata) heba!
Ma hiyo ma, hiyo ma (and no pata pata)
Ah hiyo ma, hiyo ma (this is no pata pata) hisa!

Hisana (this is no pata pata)
Hisana (and no pata pata)
Hisana (this is no pata pata)...
