Thanks for my new theme song! Words cannot express how much I like this song and band.

This is in (Brazilian) Portuguese from Geraldo Azevedo.

Sang too fast for me to understand the Portuguese, but the lyrics are perfect:

Meu Pião

O meu pião ele só roda com ponteira
O meu pião ele só roda com ponteira
A ponteirinha é rasteirinha pelo chão
Ponteirinha é rasteirinha pelo chão

O meu pião é feito de goiabeira
Ele só roda com ponteira
Na palma da minha mão
Dança morena
No meio desse salão
Requebrando o corpo todo
No ronco desse pião
Dance na mão dance na mão
Dance na mão dance na mão
Meu pião

English:

My Top

My top only spins with a tip
My top only spins with a tip
The tip is low on the floor
The tip is low on the floor

My top is made of guava
It only spins with a tip
In the palm of my hand
Dark dance
In the middle of this room
Shaking your whole body
To the roar of this top
Dance on your hand dance on your hand
Dance on your hand dance on your hand
My top

Is this where spin top related songs go?


An Ukrainian online friend sent me the link and the lyrics to this song, but it Russian not Ukrainian.

"Cruise" - "The top is spinning"


The top is spinning
The top is spinning
The top is spinning
The top is spinning
I love the top, the fun of childhood
The magic of its rotation
Without a single iota of doubt
In movement, I thought, it lives
Everything, everything is very simple
Madly, madly, madly the top is spinning
This is nature itself giving a visual lesson
The top is spinning
Everything, everything is very simple
Madly, madly, madly the top is spinning
This is nature itself giving a visual lesson
The top is spinning
The top is spinning
The top is spinning
The top is spinning
The top is spinning
The top is spinning
The top is spinning

Wow! Thanks for sharing it.

A rock song only about tops! And pretty good, I think (from the youtube comments it was somewhat popular.)

Кружится волчок = Kruzhitsya volchok = the top is spinning

Music - Sergey Sarychev,
Words - Valery Sautkin.

Devadip and Teo have been using this song on their daily videos:

Unfortunately, the official video has a yoyo but not a top!
The lyrics are the first I recall that talk about axis, center of mass, oscillations, string . . .

Sola Rosa - Spinning Top (feat. L.A Mitchell)

My Head's spinning like a spinning top
I'm on the axis
With my head spinning like a spinning top
You are the string
My Head's spinning like a spinning top
I'm on the axis
With my head spinning like a spinning top
You are the string

Let's create a ruse
You be the joker I'll be the muse
You can play me baby you can play me
My lady maze, medicine for lunatics or the brave
And I'll take it baby, cause you've changed me

My Head's spinning like a spinning top
I'm on the axis
With my head spinning like a spinning top
You are the string
My Head's spinning like a spinning top
I'm on the axis
With my head spinning like a spinning top
And you are the string

My thoughts oscillate
Breaking the pace of the day into 1.2.3
Cause I'm lonely baby, oh so lonely
The Centre of gravity is no longer beneath me
Cause you've changed me baby yes you've changed me

(repeats)

My Head's spinning like a spinning top.. hey
Woah... My Head's spinning like a spinning top
You are the string
My Head's spinning like a spinning top
I'm on the axis
Hey... my head spinning like a spinning top
Woah!
