The one who once made me cry went away crying The one who once made me cry went away crying
He will be crying when he remembers the love that once he didn’t know how to care about He will be crying when he remebers the love that once he didn’t know how to care about
The memory will be with him wherever he goes The memory will be forever with me wherever I go
Dance, sun and sea I will keep them in my look in my eyes? The love makes you lose and find I will be dancing lambada when I remember that this love For a day, for an instant was the king
The memory will be with him wherever he goes The memory will be forever with me wherever I go
He will be crying when he remember the love that once he didn’t know how to care about Song, laugh, and pain, love melody a moment that stayed on the air
If you’re wondering what that is, it is the translation fo La Lambada by Kaoma. I have always loved the music of this song and wondered what the lyrics and the meaning is. People have defamed it called it ‘dirty dancing’ but it is not. Lambada originates from Brazil and is a very sensual dance. Here’s for those who understand the language
Chorando se foi quem um dia so me fez chorar
Chorando se foi quem um dia so me fez chorar
Chorando estará ao lembrar de um amor
Que um dia não soube cuidar
Chorando estará ao lembrar de um amor
Que um dia não soube cuidar
A recordação vai estar com ele aonde for
A recordação vai estar pra sempre aonde eu for
Dança, sol e mar guardarei no olhar
O amor faz perder e encontrar
Lambando estarei ao lembrar que este amor
Por um dia, um instante foi rei
A recordação vai estar com ele aonde for
A recordação vai estar pra sempre aonde eu for
Chorando estara ao lembrar de um amor
Que um dia nao soube cuidar
Canção, riso, e dor, melodia de amor
Um momento qu ficou no ar
Sometimes, I wonder how much crap audiences can take. Television has such idiotic soaps and serials that totally scr*w your brains. As if that wasn’t enough, they have reality shows where it is almost compulsory for the participants to cry and overreact. Eeeks! They didn’t even leave dance shows. The latest to join this nonsense is Nach Baliye. What crap do they show and yet people get carried away by it. It really gets on my nerves to see so much overacting and drama from participants. They just spoil the fun of good dance performances. Anyways, I hope Tanaz and Bakhtiyaar win – they really make a cute couple and dance very well.
This one is thanx to Sameer. This is the Chinese/Malaysian version of ‘Ladki Baddi An Janni Hai’ from ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’. The video is really sweet. C’mon, now lets see, Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukherjee and Kajol match up with that.
Dancing is good fun, especially if you enroll into a class after almost 2 decades! You need to remember the steps, enjoy yourself and let go. Let me teach you some moves…
5, 6, 7, 8….Slide to the side — turn to the left — turn to the right — left leg back — turn from the right — curve right hand — curve left hand — point the right hand — turn to the right — point to the left — turn point to the right — right leg at the back — then front — back again — curve ur hand — stomp ur leg and shake ur hands (4 times).
After this you stop and stare at the instructor because you’ve missed 2 classes and you really can’t make sense of what the others are doing. A few seconds of looking blank, you continue with saying no with your left hand while stomping the right foot — vice versa — vice versa — vice versa — swim to the right — swim to the left — vice versa — vice versa — snap your fingers to the right — snap your fingers to the left — wave to the right — shiver to the left — shiver to the right — snap your fingers to the left — snap your fingers to the right — wave to the left — robot pointing to the right — robot pointing to the left — kachra uthao & pheko from the left (2 times ) — robot pointing to the left — robot pointing to the right — kachra uthao & pheko from the right — turn — hip hop infront (2×2+4×1) — hip hop at the back (2×2+4×1) — bewda snap right — bewda snap left — crazy step — wave left — box — wave right — box — stayn’ alive (2 times) — jump — clap — jump — clap — stayn’ alive — jump — clap — jump clap — bend — jump — point towards the floor.
At this point of time, you will be very tired and panting like a crazy doggie, to even remember the new rotate clap — lock step followed by the snap and bend steps. So, we stop here, allow you to breathe and hope that by next class you practice a bit. This will save you the embarassment of dancing like a freak and making a fool of yourself. And for God’s sakes, please stay clear of people who stamp your feet, else you will be screaming while the rest of the class is trying to remember what to do next!
ps: Did I mention, the steps were for ‘Where’s the party tonight?’?
