Lyrics & Translation
English
Give me the green light
Give me just one night
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now (Let's go!)
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
I see you move, I'm checking your smile
Working your back like, it's going out of style
Shake just a little bit faster
Shake just a little now girl
Dying to meet you, so let's mess around
Got an obsession, of us getting down
Come just a little bit closer
I just need permission, so
Give me the green light
Give me just one night
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
We could go all night
Give me the green light
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
One, two, three – green light
Well, if it's what it seems like
They way you're movin' baby let's me know that's it's gon' be right
I'm – (I'm ready to go right now) Ah, ah
I'm – (I'm ready to go right now)
A-one, two, three – red light
I wanna see what your bed's like
But if I be your buddy, get you studied, is yo' head right?
I'm – (I'm ready to go right now) Ah, ah
I'm – (I'm ready to go right now)
Do I have a girlfriend? Well, technically no (NO!)
If you be my girlfriend, then I'll make it so
You'll be my only true lover
No competition, no other (no other)
Baby, it's just, the thrill of the chase
I've got a feeling, I'm winning this race
Baby, I'm in much closer
I just need permission so
Give me the green light
Give me just one night
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
We could go all night
Give me the green light
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
One, two, three – green light
Well, if it's what it seems like
They way you're movin' baby let's me know that's it's gon' be right
I'm – (I'm ready to go right now) Ah, ah
I'm – (I'm ready to go right now)
A-one, two, three – red light
I wanna see what your bed's like
But if I be your buddy, get you studied, is yo' head right?
I'm – (I'm ready to go right now) Ah, ah
I'm – (I'm ready to go right now)
So I went hard like Medusa staring at me
I told her, "Let's go, let's blow this lame nigga factory"
She said, "What kind of girl do you think that I are?
The kind that you meet in a bar?
You think you can get whatever you want cause you some kind of star"
No, I'm a comet; I just want you woman
Hey, if I were you then it would be me that I'd go home with
Three, the one and only, one thing you ain't considered
I heard you when you told your girl, "Ooh, he can get it" – admit it
You did it! Let's hop a cab, and split it
I'm kidding! We both goin' to where you livin'!
Eh-hah! I got you giggling like a piglet – oh, that's the ticket?
I hope you more like, Anita Baker, than Robin Givens
No, I don't know that lady, so let me quit it
I'm just stylefreein', freestylin' which I seldom do
This is what I'm tellin' you, to the bed I'm nailin' you
Like I've been in jail for two, years and then they let me loose
Give me the green light
Give me just one night
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
We could go all night
Give me the green light
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
You got you one, Legend!
Sometimes you gotta step from behind that piano!
And let 'em know what's going on
Even Stevie Wonder got down sometimes ha ha ha!
I'm ready to go! My mandate can't wait
Participate
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now
I'm ready to go right now

Green Light (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Dame la luz verde
Dame solo una noche
Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo
Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo (¡Vamos!)
Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo
Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo
Te veo moverte, estoy viendo tu sonrisa
Moviendo tu espalda como si fuera a pasar de moda
Mueve un poquito más rápido
Mueve un poco ahora, chica
Muriendo por conocerte, así que vamos a divertirnos
Tengo una obsesión, de que nos entreguemos
Acércate un poquito más
Solo necesito permiso, así que
Dame la luz verde
Dame solo una noche
Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo
Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo
Podríamos ir toda la noche
Dame la luz verde
Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo
Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo
Uno, dos, tres – luz verde
Bueno, si es lo que parece
La forma en que te mueves, nena, me hace saber que va a estar bien
Estoy – (Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo) Ah, ah
Estoy – (Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo)
Un-uno, dos, tres – luz roja
Quiero ver cómo es tu cama
Pero si soy tu amigo, te estudio, ¿tienes la cabeza en su sitio?
Estoy – (Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo) Ah, ah
Estoy – (Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo)
¿Tengo novia? Bueno, técnicamente no (¡NO!)
Si eres mi novia, entonces lo haré así
Serás mi única y verdadera amante
Sin competencia, ninguna otra (ninguna otra)
Nena, es solo, la emoción de la persecución
Tengo la sensación, de que estoy ganando esta carrera
Nena, estoy mucho más cerca
Solo necesito permiso, así que
Dame la luz verde
Dame solo una noche
Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo
Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo
Podríamos ir toda la noche
Dame la luz verde
Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo
Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo
Uno, dos, tres – luz verde
Bueno, si es lo que parece
La forma en que te mueves, nena, me hace saber que va a estar bien
Estoy – (Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo) Ah, ah
Estoy – (Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo)
Un-uno, dos, tres – luz roja
Quiero ver cómo es tu cama
Pero si soy tu amigo, te estudio, ¿tienes la cabeza en su sitio?
Estoy – (Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo) Ah, ah
Estoy – (Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo)
Así que me puse duro como Medusa mirándome
Le dije: "Vamos, vamos a volar esta fábrica de 'niggas' aburridos"
Ella dijo: "¿Qué clase de chica crees que soy?
¿La clase que conoces en un bar?
¿Crees que puedes conseguir lo que quieras porque eres una especie de estrella?"
No, soy un cometa; solo te quiero a ti, mujer
Oye, si yo fuera tú, sería conmigo con quien me iría a casa
Tres, la única, una cosa que no has considerado
Te oí cuando le dijiste a tu amiga: "Uhm, él puede conseguirlo" – admítelo
¡Lo hiciste! Cojamos un taxi y compartamos
¡Estoy bromeando! ¡Ambos vamos a donde vives!
¡Eh-ja! Te hice reír como un cerdito – ¿oh, ese es el truco?
Espero que seas más como Anita Baker, que Robin Givens
No, no conozco a esa dama, así que déjame parar
Solo estoy improvisando, haciendo freestyle, lo que rara vez hago
Esto es lo que te digo, a la cama te estoy clavando
Como si hubiera estado en la cárcel por dos, años y luego me soltaran
Dame la luz verde
Dame solo una noche
Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo
Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo
Podríamos ir toda la noche
Dame la luz verde
Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo
Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo
¡Tienes uno, Legend!
¡A veces tienes que salir de detrás de ese piano!
Y hazles saber lo que está pasando
¡Incluso Stevie Wonder se animaba a veces ja ja ja!
¡Estoy listo para ir! Mi mandato no puede esperar
Participa
Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo
Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo
Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo
Estoy listo para irme ahora mismo
