Lyrics and translation Desmond Dekker - Bongo Gal

Bongo Gal

Fille Bongo

I like the way how you hold and treat me right

J'aime la façon dont tu me tiens et me traites bien

That′s unforgettable

C'est inoubliable

I like the way how you jump and shake a leg

J'aime la façon dont tu sautes et secoues une jambe

That's unforgettable, Mathilda

C'est inoubliable, Mathilda

Walk it up, push it up, shake it up, bongo gal

Marche, pousse, secoue, fille bongo

Ooh, that′s unforgettable

Ooh, c'est inoubliable

Walk it up, push it up, shake it up, bongo gal

Marche, pousse, secoue, fille bongo

Ooh, that's unforgettable

Ooh, c'est inoubliable

(Repeat)

(Répéter)

Bongo gal, ooh

Fille bongo, ooh

Bongo gal, ooh

Fille bongo, ooh

I like the way how you hold and treat me right

J'aime la façon dont tu me tiens et me traites bien

That's unforgettable

C'est inoubliable

I like the way how you jump and shake your leg

J'aime la façon dont tu sautes et secoues ta jambe

That′s unforgettable, Mathilda

C'est inoubliable, Mathilda

Walk it up, push it up, shake it up, bongo gal

Marche, pousse, secoue, fille bongo

Ooh, that′s unforgettable

Ooh, c'est inoubliable

Walk it up, push it up, shake it up, bongo gal

Marche, pousse, secoue, fille bongo

Ooh, that's unforgettable

Ooh, c'est inoubliable

Bongo gal, ooh

Fille bongo, ooh

Walk it up, push it up, bongo gal, ooh

Marche, pousse, fille bongo, ooh

Push it up, bongo gal, ooh

Pousse, fille bongo, ooh
