Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mambo Salentino by BoomDaBash from Italian to English.

Intro

Baila

Dance

Baila

Dance

Tre del mattino, fuore de capu

Three in the morning, outta our heads

Ancora in giro, quando se balla

Still out, when we dance

Trucco sbavato, me da se balla

Smeared makeup, I wanna dance

Mambo Salentino

Salentino mambo

L'autostrada del sole mi riporta da te

The Sun Highway brings me back to you

Quanta fretta che c'ho, è il mio quinto caffè

I'm in such a rush, it's my fifth coffee

Quando torno non voglio un minuto di stress

When I'm back I don't want a minute of stress

Penso solo a star bene, tu sei peggio di me

I just wanna feel good, you're worse than me

Si ti fuore de capo

Yeah, you're outta your mind

Come l'estate in Salento

Like summer in Salento

Trovarsi dentro una dancefloor

Finding ourselves inside a dancefloor

Tornare indietro nel tempo, bedda mia

Going back in time, my beauty

Dimmi cosa succede se tra un secondo scappiamo via

Tell me what happens if we run away in a second

Senza guardare più indietro e la tua bocca diventa la mia

Without looking back and your mouth becomes mine

Quando cammino per strada sento l'estate che è già nell'aria

When I walk down the street I feel summer already in the air

Le nostre ombre sopra la sabbia e almeno fino al mattino

Our shadows on the sand and at least till morning

Mambo Salentino

Salentino mambo

Mambo, mambo

Mambo Salentino

Salentino mambo

Mambo, mambo

Sta cadendo una stella

A star is falling

È solo un punto nel cielo

It's just a dot in the sky

Ma la più bella è già a terra affianco a me

But the prettiest one's already on the ground next to me

Ho espresso già il desiderio

I've already made the wish

Sta ballando come se il mondo la guardasse

She's dancing like the world's watching her

Muove quel bacino come se ballasse

She moves those hips like she's dancing

Principessa del quartiere, sembra una velina

Princess of the hood, she looks like a showgirl

Sei diversa, sei speciale, tu sei salentina

You're different, you're special, you're Salentinian

Dimmi cosa succede se tra un secondo scappiamo via

Tell me what happens if we run away in a second

Senza guardare più indietro e la tua bocca diventa la mia

Without looking back and your mouth becomes mine

Quando cammino per strada sento l'estate che è già nell'aria

When I walk down the street I feel summer already in the air

Le nostre ombre sopra la sabbia e almeno fino al mattino

Our shadows on the sand and at least till morning

Mambo Salentino

Salentino mambo

Mambo, mambo

Mambo Salentino

Salentino mambo

Mambo, mambo

Bridge

Non sarà per sempre ma

It won't be forever but

Una sola sera con le stelle mi basta

One single night under the stars is enough for me

Anche se veloce come un treno che passa

Even if it's as quick as a passing train

Non sarà perfetto ma

It won't be perfect but

È così bello stare qui a ballare abbracciata con te

It's so nice to be here dancing wrapped in your arms

Outro

A Salentino mambo

Mambo

Un mambo salentino

A Salentino mambo

Mambo

Un mambo salentino

A Salentino mambo

Mambo

Un mambo salentino

A Salentino mambo

Mambo

Did you like this lyrics translation?

Mambo Salentino is a sunny love letter to the Salento region in southern Italy, where palm-lined beaches, all-night parties and spontaneous romances rule the summer. BoomDaBash teams up with fellow Salentina Alessandra Amoroso to paint the scene: it is 3 a.m., make-up is smudged, coffee is keeping everyone awake and the only plan is to keep dancing. Over a lively reggae-pop beat, the singers invite us to jump in the car, speed down the Autostrada del Sole and chase that carefree feeling that only a hot Mediterranean night can give.

Between sips of espresso and wishes on shooting stars, the song celebrates the here and now. Stress is banned, memories are made on the dancefloor and even if the romance lasts just one night, it is worth every heartbeat. “Mambo Salentino” is your ticket to an endless Italian summer filled with music, sand under your feet and a kiss just before dawn.
