Maureen McGovern - The Continental Lyrics

I translated this song into Urdu because I'm cool.
شاندار موسیقی
خطرناک تال

یہ ہمت والی چیز ہے ، کنٹینینٹل
رقص کرنے کا ایک طریقہ جو واقعتا ultra انتہائی نیا ہے
یہ نہایت ٹھیک ٹھیک ، کانٹنےنٹل ہے
کیونکہ یہ وہی کرتا ہے جو آپ کرنا چاہتے ہیں

اس کا ایک جنون ہے ، کنٹینینٹل
چاندنی اور رومانس کی دعوت
یہ بالکل فیشن ہے ، کنٹینینٹل
کیونکہ جب آپ رقص کرتے ہیں تو آپ اپنی محبت کے بارے میں بتاتے ہیں

آپ کے ہونٹ اتنے نرمی سے سرگوشی کرتے ہیں
اس کی آنکھیں تمہارے گیت کا جواب دیتی ہیں

دو لاشیں ڈوب رہی ہیں ، کانٹنےنٹل ،
اور آپ وہی کہہ رہے ہیں جس کے بارے میں آپ سوچ رہے ہیں
تو ، کانٹنےنٹل ناچتے رہیں
کیونکہ یہ رومانس اور محبت کا گانا ہے

تم ناچتے ہو. بوسہ دیتے ہو
یہ براعظم ہے ، اوہ اوہ ، یہ براعظم ہے
جب تم ناچتے ہو تو گاتے ہو
آپ کی آواز نرم ہے ، اوہ اوہ ، اور جذباتی ہے

رقص کے گزرنے سے پہلے آپ کو پتہ چل جائے گا
کہ آپ کو اس سے پیار ہے اور وہ آپ سے پیار کرتا ہے

آپ ڈھونڈتے ہو find ملیں گے
یہ آپ کے دل و جان میں ایک تال ہے ،
ایک مخصوص تال جس پر آپ قابو نہیں پاسکتے ہیں
اور آپ ہر وقت کانٹنےنٹل کریں گے

شاندار موسیقی
خطرناک تال
شاندار موسیقی
خطرناک تال
کانٹنےنٹل

A great little song- brings back great memories of 1976- I was 27 and the world was my oyster- happy days!

Beautiful xxx, Maureen McGovern, stunning tone in vocals.

Happy memories x

I remember this song. If I didn't hear this song here on YouTube, I would never have believed Maureen McGovern sang it. It didn't even sound like her. Amazing how she could sing in 1930's style. What a talent. I always loved her music.

Love this...such a rarity...

what on earth is a dangerous rhythm?!

Nazis on power.

jazz was new back at the turn of the century, ragtime and jazz~roaring 20's

Love, love, love her version of The Continental. It brings back major memories.

one of my all time faves of days gone by....luvly voice beautiful song:-)

Bravo...

This is over the top satire of the 20s

awesome

This version is actually superior to how it's sung in the original film.

I was visiting Britain in the summer of 1976 and heard this, and thought it was excellent. Of course it never got played in the USA, and I don't think I've ever heard it again till just now.

You chose a good year to visit the UK. Hottest summer we ever had and some of the best music too!

I DON'T WANT NO SHORT HAIRED FREAK LOOMIN OVER MY CONTINENTAL

She is a wonderful performer and what a voice!!! Pity one can't purchase a cd version of this LP - Academy Award Performances. Any clues?

omg i love this song. see the way fred looks at ginger so romantic

This song is a true pearl! can you please let me know how can I get it on CD or itunes?

Also a more recent French version by Laura Fygi from 2007 on an album called Rendez Vous

For French version try Jean Sablon or for an instrumental version Jean Paques

Always loved this version - used to play it on my record player all the time. Excellent!

Good, but this is Ginger's song.

i luv this song....maureen does a superb job na:-)

I remember this song (before I even heard of Fred & Ginger) in the seventies as a child and fell in love with it. So evocative even then, at the age of six, of a bygone era. Now my own little girl loves it...

Oh my goodness me! Thank you for this post! I used to ask Daddy to "put the bubble song on", the champagne cork popping at the beginning just got me like I was five years old again - pure nostalgia! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

@HotSummerof1976 I also remember this song from the summer of 76, it was on the radio a lot at the time, there was a kind of swing revival going on then. Brings back good memories!

Awesome!

I had this on vinyl as a very young man in love with the glamour of the '20s and '30s; I agree; this is easily the very best version of this classic romantic escapist song. Beautiful music!

@MrChristopher2368 Ive been looking for years haha...Tell me if you find it :)

Equipment...techniques..and styles move along over the years but this has to be the best version of this great song. They've captured the flavour of the original and improved on it....and doesn't she sing it well....wonderful.

I recall this from the summer of 76,my mum use to sing to it on the radio.

This terrific. I heard it on Radio 2 in the car this morning and was totally overwhelmed. Maureen McGovern is a talent of gigantic proportions and I had never heard her, or of her, before. Thank you so much for posting. I am going to listen to all the rest of this wonderful woman's tracks on youtube.

A lovely pseudo-1930s version of the Fred & Ginger classic ... UK #16 in July 1976.

A fantastic song...you should hear Ginger sing it to Fred in the movie, "The Gay Divorcee"....

This song can go ahead throttle.

Love it--excellent:)

This is great. Not much else to say........

Yup, marvellous :)

it's beautiful...

gee wiz...wish I had a guy that would take me in his arms and dance like that with me................Sigh

Well....as a music lover myself...you just took the words right out of my mouth......You have Great Taste....Mr Z

A Fan....Nitesoulflyer...........

This has to be the all time BEST rendition of this classic song that was ever made..Maureens voice is superb, and the orchestra is absolutely FANTASTIC, and it was recorded wonderfully...!! every nuance of the band can be heard so clearly and sharply!! Thank you so very much!!

i like it!and i'm 15

The winner of the very first Academy Award for Best Song.

Great track

Just gorgeous and I have a perfect foxtrot choreographed in my head to this!!!

ESPECTACULAR.....una de las canciones mas hermosas de todos los tiempos y sin lugar a dudas, una de las mejores versiones....

Maureen's rendition is just perfect.

I cannot believe that you have this CD...I have been trying to get this forever...now I can hear this all the time...thanks so much for sharing.:0)
