She just dances on the street
I don't think she sees me
A party in her head
And everyone is welcome
Earbuds in her ears and her eyes closed
Gazes from half the street directed at her
And soon she'll be a world star
But she just dances on the street
She just dances on the street
That's how she waits for the bus
I hope it doesn't come
Or at least a little later
Earbuds in her ears and her eyes closed
A smile that makes everything lighter on her face
She's actually already a world star
And she just dances on the street
Dance for yourself
Dance for the world
Dance for all of us
Dance for the future
Dance for your life
Dance for us a beautiful story
For she who is not allowed, for he who cannot
For all who don't dare to dance
And especially dance on the street
She just dances on the street
I see it way too big
Soon the bus will take her away
I'll have to dance by myself again
Earbuds in my ears and my eyes closed
I only dance in my head or out of sight
But soon she'll be a world star
And she just dances on the street
Dance for yourself
Dance for the world
Dance for all of us
Dance for the future, dance for your life
Dance for us a beautiful story
For she who is not allowed, for he who cannot
For all who don't dare to dance
And especially dance on the street
Dance for yourself
Dance for the world
Dance for all of us
Dance for the future
Dance for the night
Dance for us a beautiful story
For she who is not allowed, for he who cannot
For all who don't dare to dance
And especially dance on the street

SONG MEANING

Imagine turning the grey pavement into a glowing dance floor. That is exactly what happens in “Ze Danst Gewoon Op Straat”: a young woman, earbuds in and eyes closed, throws a private party right in the middle of the street. Her carefree moves catch every passer-by’s eye, including the singer’s, who watches in awe as the ordinary scene bursts into color. While she waits for the bus, the world pauses — the music in her head is louder than traffic, and for a brief moment the city belongs to her rhythm.

Yevgueni spins this simple observation into an uplifting anthem about freedom and self-expression. The chorus invites us all to dance for yourself, dance for the world, and especially to dance for those who cannot. It turns the sidewalk into a stage where anyone can become a “wereldster” (world star) just by daring to move. By the end, even the shy narrator is tempted to let go of his inhibitions. The song celebrates the power of small, spontaneous joy to inspire others and transform the everyday into something magical—and it reminds us that the best place to start is often right outside our front door.
