Danser Lyrics in English Lisandro Cuxi

In Danser, French-Portuguese artist Lisandro Cuxi turns a vibrant Afro-pop groove into a heartfelt love letter to the island of his ancestry. Even though he has never set foot on its beaches, he has inherited its story "à travers le regard de mes aînés" and carries vivid, colorful images of it in his mind. Growing up between Zambujal in Portugal and the sunny south of France, he has always felt his eyes pulled toward this “petit pays” that shaped his family history.

The chorus promise, "J'te ferai danser" ("I will make you dance"), is more than a call to party. It is a pledge to reconnect, to fuse his modern musical energy with the rhythms of his roots, and to celebrate a bond that distance cannot erase. The song glows with optimism: he vows to visit, to leave but always return, and to forever keep the island and its people moving in joyful unity. In short, Danser is an uplifting anthem about identity, homecoming, and the power of music to bridge the gap between past and present.
