Eurovision 2005 Moldova:
Zdob și Zdub - "Boonika Bate Doba"
Boonika Bate Doba
It's a jump up jungle, little like a break beat
Never seen that hit – bunica beat the drum-a
Big mallet in the hand, high hat in the same beat
She's screaming like Hawkins, my old Big Mama
Bunica beat the drum-a like I never heard before
She's a slapping Miss Blackman, gimme some more
Check it, let's kick it, we wanna dance now
We are turning into hammers, ticking rhythm out
Bunica bate doba (Hey)
Bunica bate tare (Hey)
Bunica bate doba cu maciuca 'n casa mare
Bunica bate doba (Hey)
Bunica bate tare (Hey)
Bunica cu maciuca bate doba 'n casa mare
I love so much doba making boom-boom
Now get your body moving, just follow the tune
It's a real magic – Big Mama play her drum-a
She's flying into trance like an Indian shaman
Who's the Beatles? Where from is Peter Pan?
Who's the gypsy Jimi Hendrix?
She don't care, that Mrs. L
I smile, I cry when I see that crazy baba
Dizzy tempo, dizzy, let's go, my music mama
Bunica bate doba (Hey)
Bunica bate tare (Hey)
Bunica bate doba cu maciuca 'n casa mare
Bunica bate doba (Hey)
Bunica bate tare (Hey)
Bunica cu maciuca bate doba 'n casa mare
People in the place, feel your body shakes
Bunica beat the drum-a tapping out the breaks
Pop you up with that beat, get rid of rotten meat
You dig with your soul deep inside that rock 'n' roll
She's a drum machine, you know what I mean
She wanna play jumparale to make you spin
Drain a bottle of wine, no need to roll the leaves
By the end of that show, you will blow yourself to bits
Bunica bate doba (Hey)
Bunica bate tare (Hey)
Bunica bate doba cu maciuca 'n casa mare
Bunica bate doba (Hey)
Bunica bate tare (Hey)
Bunica cu maciuca bate doba 'n casa mare
Bunica bate doba (Hey)
Bunica bate tare (Hey)
Bunica bate doba cu maciuca 'n casa mare
Bunica bate doba (Hey)
Bunica bate tare (Hey)
Bunica cu maciuca bate doba 'n casa mare
You are real drum machine
You make me wanna dance, you are slapping queen
To get that state you drink juice from grapes
And I go deep into the music space
Bunica bate doba
Bunica bate tare
Bunica bate doba cu maciuca 'n casa ma… ma… ma…
Bunica bate doba (Hey)
Bunica bate tare (Hey)
Bunica bate doba cu maciuca 'n casa mare
Bunica bate doba (Hey)
Bunica bate tare (Hey)
Bunica bate doba cu maciuca 'n caѕa mаre
Grandma beats the drum
It's a jump up jungle, little like a break beat
Never seen that hit – Grandma beats the drum-a
Big mallet in the hand, high hat in the same beat
She's screaming like Hawkins, my old Big Mama
Grandma beat the drum-a like I never heard before
She's a slapping Miss Blackman, gimme some more
Check it, let's kick it, we wanna dance now
We are turning into hammers, ticking rhythm out
Grandma beats the drum (Hey)
Grandma beats it hard (Hey)
Grandma beats the drum with the mallet in the big house

Vanaema lööb trummi
See on hüppeline džungel, natuke nagu breikbiidil
Pole seda hitti kunagi näinud – vanaema lööb trummi-a
Suur haamer käes, kõrge müts samas taktis
Ta karjub nagu Hawkins, mu vana suur ema
Vanaema lööb trummi-a nagu ma pole kunagi varem kuulnud
Ta on laksutav preili Blackman, anna mulle veel
Kuulake seda, lööme jalaga, me tahame nüüd tantsida
Me muutume haamriteks, tiksume rütmi
Vanaema lööb trummi (Hei)
Vanaema lööb kõvasti (Hei)
Vanaema lööb suures majas haamriga trummi
Vanaema lööb trummi (Hei)
Vanaema lööb kõvasti (Hei)
Vanaema lööb haamriga suures majas trummi
Ma armastan nii väga, kuidas trumm teeb buum-buum
Nüüd pange oma keha liikuma, lihtsalt järgige viisi
See on tõeline maagia – suur ema mängib oma trummi-a
Ta lendab transsi nagu indiaani šamaan
Kes on Beatles? Kust on Peter Pan?
Kes on mustlane Jimi Hendrix?
Teda ei huvita, et proua L
Ma naeratan, ma nutan, kui ma näen seda hullu babat
Pearinglus, pearinglus, lähme, mu muusikaema
Vanaema lööb trummi (Hei)
Vanaema lööb kõvasti (Hei)
Vanaema lööb suures majas haamriga trummi
Vanaema lööb trummi (Hei)
Vanaema lööb kõvasti (Hei)
Vanaema lööb haamriga trummi suures majas
Inimesed selles kohas, tunne, kuidas su keha väriseb
Vanaema lööb trummi - pausid läbi koputades
Anna su selle rütmiga üles, vabane mädanenud lihast
Sa kaevad oma hingega sügavale sellesse rokenrolli
Ta on trummimasin, sa tead, mida ma mõtlen
Ta tahab jumparale'i mängida, et sind keerutada
Tühjenda pudel veini, pole vaja lehti rullida
Selle etenduse lõpuks puhud sa end tükkideks
Vanaema lööb trummi (Hei)
Vanaema lööb kõvasti (Hei)
Vanaema lööb suures majas haamriga trummi
Vanaema lööb trummi (Hei)
Vanaema lööb kõvasti (Hei)
Vanaema lööb haamriga suures majas trummi
Vanaema lööb trummi (Hei)
Vanaema lööb kõvasti (Hei)
Vanaema lööb haamriga suures majas trummi
Vanaema lööb trummi (Hei)
Vanaema lööb kõvasti (Hei)
Vanaema lööb haamriga suures majas trummi
Sa oled tõeline trummimasin
Sa paned mind tantsima, sa peksid kuningannat
Selle seisundi saavutamiseks jood sa viinamarjamahla
Ja ma lähen sügavale muusikaruumi
Vanaema lööb trummi
Vanaema lööb kõvasti
Vanaema lööb haamriga suures majas trummi
Vanaema lööb trummi (Hei)
Vanaema lööb kõvasti (Hei)
Vanaema lööb haamriga suures majas trummi
Vanaema lööb trummi (Hei)
Vanaema lööb kõvasti (Hei)
Vanaema lööb haamriga suures majаѕ trummi
