Intro

Dancing, keep dancing

Chorus 1

I wish I could dance, keep dancing

Even if this whole paradise is on fire

Stay with me a little longer

Verse 1

The cold may surround me and

Holes in my home

Rain in my room

Luckily we are together

Let them say what they want

I really don't care

Even if the sky falls down

Chorus 2

As long as you're around

I wish I could dance, keep dancing

Even if this whole paradise is on fire

So stay with me a little longer

Stay with me a little longer

I wish I could dance, keep dancing

Even if I'm banished from this paradise

Before everything disappears

Stay with me a little longer

Verse 2

Our words are infinite

With them we create a world

Whether it goes right or wrong

We can try

Let them say what they want

I really don't care

Even if the sky falls down

Chorus 3

As long as you stay around

I wish I could dance, keep dancing

Even if this whole paradise is on fire

So stay with me a little longer

Stay with me a little longer

I wish I could dance, keep dancing

Even if I'm banished from this paradise

Before everything disappears

Stay with me a little longer

Bridge

Forget it

Let go of your fears

And save some tears

For when they're needed

We don't have to do it alone

Chorus 4

I wish I could dance, keep dancing

Even if this whole paradise is on fire

Stay with me a little longer

I wish I could dance, keep dancing

Even if I'm banished from this paradise

Before everything disappears

Stay with me a little longer

Outro

Yet stay with me a little longer

Stay with me a little longer

I wish I could dance, keep dancing

Even if this whole paradise is on fire

So, stay with me a little longer

Stay with me a little longer

SONG MEANING

“Dansen” is Shary-An’s sparkling reminder that joy is a choice you can make right now. The Dutch singer pictures a world on fire—leaky roofs, falling skies, paradise in ruins—yet her first instinct is to dance. Repeating the wish “Ik wou dat ik kon dansen, blijven dansen” (I wish I could dance, keep on dancing), she turns the dance floor into a shield against chaos. No matter what burns around her, if her loved one stays close, the music keeps playing.

The chorus line “Blijf nog even bij mij” (Stay with me a little longer) reveals the song’s true heartbeat: togetherness. Words create infinite worlds, gossip rolls off their shoulders, and tears are saved for another day. Shary-An invites us to drop our fears, hold our partners tight, and keep moving our feet. Because when you dance through disaster side by side, even a crumbling paradise feels like home.
