Zucchero Fornaciari: "Baila Morena / Baila (Sexy Thing)" 2001

"Baila morena" is a song recorded in 2001 by the Italian singer Zucchero. The song was released as a single twice : first in 2001 (under the title "Baila (Sexy Thing)"), reaching #1 in Italy, but achieving a moderate success in the other countries, then in 2006 as a duet with the band Maná, as the soundtrack of the film Les Bronzés 3 : Amis pour la vie (English : French Fried Vacation 3 - Friends Forever), becoming this time a huge hit in France and Belgium.

On February 2, 2006, the single entered the French Singles Chart at #64, then jumped straight to #1, which is the third biggest jump to number-one in this country. After four weeks at #1, the singles dropped almost every week on the chart, totaling ten weeks in the top ten, 17 in the top 50 and 28 in the top 100. It was the 9th best-selling of the year and was certified Gold by the SNEP.

In 2007, the song was covered by Patrick Fiori and Hélène Ségara and included in a medley available on Les Enfoirés' album La Caravane des Enfoirés.


- Lyrics:

Creo en los milagros desde que te vi
En esta noche de tequila boom boom
Eres tan sexy eres sexy thing
Mis ojos te persiguen sólo a ti

Y debe haber un caos dentro de ti
Para que brote así una estrella que baila
Infierno y paraíso dentro de ti
La luna es un sol, mira cómo brilla

Baby the night is on fire
Seamos fuego en el cielo
Llamas en lo oscuro

What you say

Baila baila morena
Bajo esta luna llena
Under the moonlight
Under the moonlight

Ven chica ven loca dame tu boca
Que en esta noche cualquier cosa te toca
Mi corazón de oro es el de un santo
Dámelo todo me lo merezco tanto

Baby the night is on fire
Seamos fuego en el cielo
Escándalo en lo oscuro

What you say

Baila baila morena
Bajo esta luna llena
Under the moonlight

Baila

Under the moonlight
Bajo esta luna llena
Baila morena
Baila baila morena
Bajo esta luna llena
Under the moonlight

Baila

Under the moonlight
Bajo esta luna llena
Baila morena
Bajo esta luna llena
Bajo esta luna llena
Bajo esta luna llena
Under the moonlight
