Lyrics & Translation
English
I seen a girl on a one-way corridor
Stealing down a wrong-way street
For all the world like an urban toreador
She had wheels on, on her feet
Well, the cars do the usual dances
Same old cruise and the kerbside crawl
But the rollergirl, she's taking chances
They just love to see her take them all
No fears alone at night
She's sailing through the crowd
In her ears, the phones are tight
And the music's playing loud
Hallelujah, here she comes
Queen rollerball
And Enchanté, what can I say?
Don't care at all
You know, she used to have to wait around
She used to be the lonely one
But now that she can skate around town
She's the only one
No fears alone at night
She's sailing through the crowd
In her ears, the phones are tight
And the music's playing loud
She gets rock and roll and a rock and roll station
And a rock and roll dream
She's making movies on location
She don't know what it means
And the music make her want to be the story
And the story was whatever was the song, what it was
Rollergirl, don't worry
D.J. play the movies all night long, all night long
She tortures taxi drivers just for fun
She like to read their lips
Says, "Toro, toro, taxi, see you tomorrow, my son"
I swear she let a big truck grease her hip
She got her own world in the city
You can't intrude on her, no, no, no
She got her own world in the city
Because the city's been so rude to her
No fears alone at night
She's sailing through the crowd
In her ears, the phones are tight
And the music's playing loud
She gets rock and roll and a rock and roll station
And a rock and roll dream
She's making movies on location
She don't know what it means
But the music make her want to be the story
And the story was whatever was the song, what it was
Rollergirl, don't worry
D.J. play the movies all night long, all night long
Come slipping and sliding
Yeah, life's a roller ball
Slipping and a-sliding
Skateaway, that's all
Skateaway
Shala, shalay, hey hey, skateaway
Now shala, shalay, hey hey, skateaway
She's singing, "Shala, shalay, hey hey"
Skateaway
Shala, shalay

Skateaway (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Vi a una chica en un pasillo de sentido único
Bajando por una calle de sentido contrario
Para todo el mundo como una torera urbana
Llevaba ruedas, en sus pies
Bueno, los coches hacen los bailes habituales
El mismo viejo crucero y el arrastre por la acera
Pero la chica patinadora, ella se arriesga
A ellos les encanta verla tomarlos todos
Sin miedos sola por la noche
Ella navega entre la multitud
En sus oídos, los auriculares están ajustados
Y la música suena fuerte
Aleluya, aquí viene ella
Reina del patinaje
Y Enchanté, ¿qué puedo decir?
No le importa en absoluto
Sabes, ella solía tener que esperar
Ella solía ser la solitaria
Pero ahora que puede patinar por la ciudad
Ella es la única
Sin miedos sola por la noche
Ella navega entre la multitud
En sus oídos, los auriculares están ajustados
Y la música suena fuerte
Ella consigue rock and roll y una estación de rock and roll
Y un sueño de rock and roll
Está haciendo películas en locación
Ella no sabe lo que significa
Y la música la hace querer ser la historia
Y la historia era lo que fuera la canción, lo que era
Chica patinadora, no te preocupes
El DJ pone las películas toda la noche, toda la noche
Ella tortura a los taxistas solo por diversión
Le gusta leer sus labios
Dice: "Toro, toro, taxi, nos vemos mañana, hijo mío"
Juro que dejó que un camión grande le engrasara la cadera
Ella tiene su propio mundo en la ciudad
No puedes entrometerte en ella, no, no, no
Ella tiene su propio mundo en la ciudad
Porque la ciudad ha sido muy grosera con ella
Sin miedos sola por la noche
Ella navega entre la multitud
En sus oídos, los auriculares están ajustados
Y la música suena fuerte
Ella consigue rock and roll y una estación de rock and roll
Y un sueño de rock and roll
Está haciendo películas en locación
Ella no sabe lo que significa
Pero la música la hace querer ser la historia
Y la historia era lo que fuera la canción, lo que era
Chica patinadora, no te preocupes
El DJ pone las películas toda la noche, toda la noche
Viniendo resbalando y deslizándose
Sí, la vida es una bola rodante
Resbalando y deslizándose
Patinar, eso es todo
Patinar
Shala, shalay, hey hey, patinar
Ahora shala, shalay, hey hey, patinar
Ella está cantando, "Shala, shalay, hey hey"
Patinar
Shala, shalay
