[Verse 1]
Where you from mom?
On vacation?
Bisexual in a metro station?
I don’t understand a single word you’re saying
Ain’t complaining, what you saying?
I’ll go down on one knee if I have to
Just to have you, but I don’t have to!
Gotta learn a 2nd language just to flatter you
What’s your favorite food?
What’s your daddy do?
Parlez-vous? Parlez-Parlez-Vous?
Accent got me all like...
Parlez-vous? Parlez-Parlez-Vous?
Accent got me all like...
[Chorus]
Oh!
Got me praying
I said baby
I wanna get lost in translation!
Oh!
Got me praying
I said baby
I wanna get lost in translation!
[Verse 2]
Make my heart stop, call the coroner
Mixing coca cola drinks like a foreigner
She’s not a local girl, all these boys boring her
I don’t blame 'em though ain’t no ignoring her
International, baby it’s a frenzy
Looking trendy, gucci fendi
Make a dirty movie happy happy ending
No comprendi be my girfriendy
Parlez-vous? Parlez-Parlez-Vous?
Accent got me all like
Parlez-vous? Parlez-Parlez-Vous?
Accent got me all like
[Chorus]
Oh!
Got me praying
I said baby
I wanna get lost in translation!
Oh
Got me praying (Oui J’aime filles aussi – non merci)
I said baby
I wanna get lost in translation (Oui J’aime filles aussi – non merci)
[Bridge]
La la la la la la la la la la la (Oui J’aime filles aussi – non merci)
La la la la la la (Oui J’aime filles aussi – non merci)
Got a booty like a South American maybe you from Paris
Love the way you talk, baby don’t be embarrassed
Clap clap clap, it don’t need interpretation woo-oh
Oh Lord yeah!
[Chorus]
Oh!
Got me praying, (got me praying)
I said baby
I wanna get lost in translation!
Oh!
Got me praying, (got me praying)
I said baby
I wanna get lost in translation
[Outro]
Oh!
La la la la la la la la la la la (Oui J’aime filles aussi – non merci)
La la la la la la (Oui J’aime filles aussi – non merci)
I wanna get lost in translation!
Oh!
Got me praying
La la la la la la la la la la la (Oui J’aime filles aussi – non merci)
La la la la la la (Oui J’aime filles aussi – non merci)
I said baby
I wanna get lost in translation!
