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

Intro

Dance

Three in the morning, outta our heads

Still out, when we dance

Smeared makeup, I wanna dance

Salentino mambo

The Sun Highway brings me back to you

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

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

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

Yeah, you're outta your mind

Like summer in Salento

Finding ourselves inside a dancefloor

Going back in time, my beauty

Tell me what happens if we run away in a second

Without looking back and your mouth becomes mine

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

Our shadows on the sand and at least till morning

Salentino mambo

Mambo, mambo

Salentino mambo

Mambo, mambo

A star is falling

It's just a dot in the sky

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

I've already made the wish

She's dancing like the world's watching her

She moves those hips like she's dancing

Princess of the hood, she looks like a showgirl

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

Tell me what happens if we run away in a second

Without looking back and your mouth becomes mine

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

Our shadows on the sand and at least till morning

Salentino mambo

Mambo, mambo

Salentino mambo

Mambo, mambo

Bridge

It won't be forever but

One single night under the stars is enough for me

Even if it's as quick as a passing train

It won't be perfect but

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

Outro

SONG MEANING

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.
