美國鄉村樂創作歌手［迪安娜卡特］──鄉村／民謠抒情曲──［We Danced Anyway／我們還是跳舞了］

The summer air was heavy and sweet
You and I on a crowded street, there was music everywhere
I can see us there
In a happy little foreign town where the stars hung upside down
A half a world away, far, far away

I remember you were laughing
We were so in love, we were so in love

And the band play songs that we had never heard
But we danced anyway
We never understood the words
We just sang oh
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
And we danced anyway

Well, they say you cant go back
But baby, I dont believe that
Come along with me, come on and dance with me
Well, maybe if I hold you close, baby, we could just let go
Off these things that tie us down, well come back around

You remember we were laughing
We were so in love, so in love

And the band play songs that we had never heard
But we danced anyway
We never understood the words
We just sang oh
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
And we danced anyway

You remember we were laughing
We were so in love, we were so in love

And the band play songs that we had never heard
But we danced anyway
We never understood the words
We just sang oh
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la, oh whoa

Oh-oh-ooh
And we danced anyway (oh-oh, we were laughing)
Oh-oh, we danced anyway (oh-oh, we were dancing)
(Oh-oh)
