I used to dance like a crazy monkey
and my lifestyle in the last few years made me like a robot. I could hardly
move to music. I sing a lot and started singing in Smule. A month ago, I
decided to record this song “Sway”. It used to be a ball room/ party dance song
and it is still the same. When I started to sing this song, I automatically
started moving.
This song was written in 1953 as
"Quien Sera" by the Mexican bandleader Pablo Beltran Ruiz. Norman
Gimbel wrote the English lyrics for the song and Dean Martin recorded it
with his voice. Martin sings that when he sways with his dance partner on the
dance floor she is all he sees. If you are a salsa dancer, this is the
dance you should try out with your dance partner. You can jive to this and even
do samba moves to this song. There are so many layers to this song. Check this recording of mine here. The lyrics are added too
The song lyrics for Sway by Norman Gimbel and Dean Martin.
When marimba rhythms
start to play, Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore, Hold me close, sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze, Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me, Stay with me, sway with me
Other dancers may be on the floor, Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique, When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins, Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how, Sway me smooth, sway me now
Other dancers may be on the floor, Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique, When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins, Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how, Sway me smooth, sway me now
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore, Hold me close, sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze, Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me, Stay with me, sway with me
Other dancers may be on the floor, Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique, When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins, Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how, Sway me smooth, sway me now
Other dancers may be on the floor, Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique, When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins, Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how, Sway me smooth, sway me now
Singers who have performed this song are Bobby Rydell, Ben E. King, Michael Bublé, Cliff Richard. Jennifer Lopez recorded it for the 2004 movie Shall We Dance. If you had watched the movie Sexy Beast, with Ben Kingsley and Ray Winston, you would have heard this song in it. This song still sounds fresh and modern even though it was made over 50 years ago. So if you think you can't dance, just try listening to this song again and again.
