Lyrics: I see your red skirt splashing up against your thighs You makin pretty moves, makin moves that smile my eyes Your plaited hair its catching gold from Azainian skies Your motion is a magic that takes me by surprise (sweet sister hmm my sister) Soft mounds bouncing to the rhythm of your dance You seem to have a thousand ways to get my heart to France You got a laugh like little mossies, fluttering in the air (sweet sister, ah sweet sister of mine) Sisiwami, I am a man whos bound by doubtful things Sisiwami, a man whos tangled in his strings Sisiwami, but to see you dancing sets me free Sisiwami, you do a beautiful thing to me Sisiwami, oh sweet sister cant you see Sisiwami, you do a beautiful thing to me Sisiwami, oh, a beautiful thing to me The way your bodys shaping to the sounds of your song Your long brown arms snaking, so proud and strong Oh to see you strutting down, its where you belong When youre in motion girl, nothing can go wrong (Sweet sister, ah sweet sister of mine) Silver bracelettes rattling to the rhythms on your feet Balancing your goods as you come strutting down the street Theres a twinkle in your sing song talk A sparkle in your jive In these terrible-terrible times, you keep my heart alive Sweet sister youre so fine Sweet sister of mine |
