All Night Long
Eternal Celebration: All-Night Revelry and Joyful Rhythms
Lyrics
Well, my friends, the time has come
It's time for something to happen or begin
Raise the roof and have some fun
Get excited and enjoy yourself
Throw away the work to be done
Forget about work that needs to be done
Let the music play on
Allow the music to continue playing
Everybody sing, everybody dance
Encouragement for everyone to sing and dance
Lose yourself in wild romance, we going to
Immerse yourself in passionate love or excitement
Parti', karamu', fiesta, forever
Referencing parties and celebrations that last forever
Come on and sing along
Invitation to join in and sing together
We're going to parti', karamu', fiesta, forever
Reiteration of the idea of eternal parties
Come on and sing along
Encouragement to sing together once more
All night long (all night), all night (all night)
Expresses the duration of festivities lasting throughout the night
All night long (all night), all night (all night)
Repetition emphasizing the duration of the celebration
All night long (all night), all night (all night)
Continued emphasis on the ongoing celebration all night
All night long (all night), ooh yeah (all night)
Confirmation and excitement about the ongoing party
People dancing all in the street
Observation of people dancing in public spaces
See the rhythm all in their feet
Noticing the rhythm in everyone's movements
Life is good, wild and sweet
Life is enjoyable and full of pleasant experiences
Let the music play on
Advocating for the continuation of music
Feel it in your heart and feel it in your soul
Sense the music emotionally and spiritually
Let the music take control, we going to
Allow the music to take charge of the atmosphere
Parti', liming, fiesta, forever
Reference to different types of parties that last forever
Come on and sing my song
Encouragement to join in singing a particular song
All night long (all night) oh (all night)
Reiteration of the ongoing celebration throughout the night
All night long (all night) yeah (all night)
Repeating the ongoing celebration
All night long (all night) yeah (all night)
Further emphasis on the ongoing festivities
All night long (all night) (all night)
Continuation of the ongoing celebration
Yeah, once you get started you can't sit down
Once you start, you can't stop and relax
Come join the fun, it's a merry-go-round
Invitation to join the enjoyable activities
Everyone's dancing their troubles away
Everyone is dancing to escape their problems
Come join our party, see how we play
Join the celebration and experience the joy
Tom bo li de say de moi ya, yeah, jambo jumbo
Lyrics in a language that adds to the festive atmosphere
Way to parti' o we goin' oh, jambali
More lyrics in a celebratory tone
Tom bo li de say de moi ya, yeah, jumbo jumbo
Repetition of celebratory phrases
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yes
Exclamation of excitement
We're gonna have a party, yeah, ugh
Confirmation of an upcoming party
All night long (all night), all night (all night)
Reiteration of the ongoing celebration throughout the night
All night long (all night), yeah (all night)
Confirming the ongoing celebration
All night long (all night), all night (all night)
Repetition emphasizing the ongoing festivity
All night long (all night)

Everyone you meet, they're jamming in the street, all night long (all night)
Everyone encountered is participating in the street party
