Are you familiar with the song "Ole Ole" by Lakol? Could you help me with the lyrics (I really want to sing along) and the meaning?

Jodi a nou leve
Today we get up
Pa vle chita gade
Don’t want to sit around
Vini, an al danse
Come, let’s go dance
Yon konpa ki byen mate
A bouncing Konpa
An nou chante
Let’s sing
An nou danse
Let’s dance
Pa kite tan pase
Don’t let time pass
Tout moun mete deyò pou y al danse Lakòl
Everyone, come out to dance Lakòl
Nan kadans, bèl pawòl
With entertainment, beautiful ambiance
Nou pral kole zepòl
We’ll come together
Sa fè depi lontan n’ap ret tann moman sa
We’ve been waiting for this moment
Jodi a nou kontan pou nou ale
Today we’re happy to go

Leve pou n ale
Get up, let's go
Pa kite tan pase
Don’t let time pass

Leve leve leve pou nou ale
Get up, get up, get up so we can go
Aswè a m te la
Tonight I was there
Nou te ka danse, ole ole
To dance Ole! Ole!
Vini pou nou chante
Come sing
Vini pou n ale
Come let’s go
Mete men w anlè
Put your hands in the air
Pou nou sa danse
So we can dance
Jouk demen maten
Until morning
Vini pou n ale
Come let’s go
Men si w kontan met men w anlè
But if you’re happy put your hands up

Apiye sere pa frape mesye pou nou banbile
Lean closer, no bumping , guys,so we’ll have fun
