Papa, why do you play our same old songs
Why do you sing with the melody
Cause down on the street something's goin' on
There's a brand new beat
And a brand new song
(He said) In my life there was so much anger
Still I have no regrets
Just like you I would search forever
So dance your own dance
And never forget
[Chorus:]
N'oubleeay jamay
I heard my father say
Every generation has its way
And need to disobey
N'oubleeay jamay
It's in your destiny
A need to disagree
And rules get in the way
N'oubliez jamais
Mama, why do you dance to the same old songs
Why do you sing only harmony
Cause down on the street something's goin' on
There's a brand new beat
And a brand new song
(She said) In my heart there's a young girl's passion
For a lifelong duet
And someday soon someone's smile will haunt you
So sing your own song
And never forget
[Repeat chorus]
What is this game
Searching for love affairs
Is obsolete
One of these days you say that
Love will be the cure
I'm not so sure
[Repeat chorus
