Lyrics

La la la …
Ik zag Rio op tv
Dat bracht mij op 'n idee
Om een feestje te gaan bouwen met de buren
Ik knip de pijpen van mijn broek
Strooi confetti in de hoek
Ik deed de stoelen weg
Het feest dan kan beginnen
Tante Sjaan had niets meer aan
Die was toch te ver gegaan
Opa Jansen rende toen achter haar aan
Het plafond kwam naar benee
Maar daar zit ik nu niet mee
Want dit is Rio’s Carnaval
La la la …
Ik zag Bobo van twee hoog
Die speelde bongo met z’n oog
En de buurman speelt gitaar met z’n tenen
Japie van de overkant kreeg 'n paar klappen op z’n hoofd
Want hij zat per ongeluk aan Mien der benen
De Bastille het cafeetje op het plein deed met ons mee
Iedereen is hier welkom tegen niemand zeg ik nee
De politie kwam eraan.
Ja toen was het snel gedaan
Maar dit was Rio’s Carnaval
La la la …

Lyrics translation

La la la …
I saw Rio on tv.
That gave me an idea .
To have a party with the neighbors
I cut the pipes off my pants.
Confetti in the corner
I put the chairs away.
The party then can begin
Aunt Shaan was wearing nothing.
He had gone too far.
Grandpa Jansen then ran after her
The ceiling came to benee.
But I'm not worried about that right now.
Because this is Rio's Carnival
La la la …
I saw two-story Bobo.
He played bongo with his eye.
And the neighbor plays guitar with his toes
Jiminy across the street took a few blows to the head.
'Cause he accidentally touched my legs.
The Bastille the café on the Square was with us
Everybody's welcome here. nobody I say no to.
The police were coming.
Yeah, it was quick.
But this was Rio's Carnival.
La la la …
