SPOKEN
Pata Pata is the name of a dance
We do down in Johannesburg way
And everybody starts to move
As soon as Pata Pata starts to play
Saguquka sathi bheka, (nantsi pata pata)
Saguquka sathi bheka, (nantsi pata pata)
Saguquka sathi bheka, (nantsi pata pata)
Saguquka sathi bheka, (nantsi pata pata)
 
Yiyo mama yiyo mama, (nantsi pata pata)
Yiyo mama yiyo mama, (nantsi pata pata)
Yiyo mama yiyo mama, (nantsi pata pata)
Yiyo mama yiyo mama, (nantsi pata pata)
 
Saguquka sathi bheka, (nantsi pata pata)
Saguquka sathi bheka, (nantsi pata pata)
Saguquka sathi bheka, (nantsi pata pata)
Saguquka sathi bheka, (nantsi pata pata)
 
SPOKEN
Every Friday and Saturday nights
It's Pata Pata time!
The dance keeps going all night long
Till the morning sun begins to shine
 
Saguquka sathi bheka, (nantsi pata pata)
Saguquka sathi bheka, (nantsi pata pata)
Saguquka sathi bheka, (nantsi pata pata)
Saguquka sathi bheka, (nantsi pata pata)
 
Yiyo mama yiyo mama, (nantsi pata pata)
Yiyo mama yiyo mama, (nantsi pata pata)
Yiyo mama yiyo mama, (nantsi pata pata)
Yiyo mama yiyo mama, (nantsi pata pata)
