"The Flashbick" - English Translation
Lyrics originally by Nina Wolmark
English Translation by Paul Lunga and 'Nonoche'
(Notes on the use of certain plays on words are in italics.)
It's the jig of Bic and Bac
Bac and Bic, it's logbic (pun on logic)
The little Flashbick jig
Tralalalalala
When in pain, or when we're blue
We dance the Flashbick
In the big jig of Arkadia
Come with me
We are two pangolins
Who took off
We are two big clever ones
Give us a hand
CHORUS:
Towards Arkadia, let's walk under the wind, the rain
All down there, we'll get out of the night
And the Shagma, for all of us will relive
Turning round and turning round the jig of life
For Arkadia, we'll remain united
All down there, when the Shagma will shine
and this is thus, that all our friends dance the jig
dance and sing and sing and dance, it's the jig of life
In the misfortune or in the big fright
The only stuff, the big kick
Dance the Flashbick jig
Tralalalalala
Without worrying too much
We dance the Flashbick
In the big jig of Arkadia
Enter with me
We are two pangolins
Who are trudging through difficulties
We are two very cuddly ones
Give us a hand
(CHORUS)
It's the jig of Bic and Bac
Bac and Bic, it's Shagmic (pun on Shagma)
That's just it, the Flashbick kick
Tralalalalala
In the celebration and the cheerful fanfares
We dance the Flashbick
In the big jig of Arkadia
Come with me
We are some pangolins
Who took off
We are some big mischiveous ones
Give us a hand
Towards Arkadia, let's walk under the wind, the rain
All down there, we'll get out of the night
And the Shagma, for all of us will relive
Turning round and turning round the jig of life
Towards Arkadia, let's walk eagerly
All down there, we will save the Shagma
And may life keep us all united
Turning round and turning round the jig of life
For Arkadia, we will remain all united
All down there, when the Shagma will shine
and this is thus, that all our friends dance the jig
Dance and sings and sings and dance
It's the jig of life
