Paroles et traduction Original Cast Recording - Conga

Conga

Aba, aba'y
Binibigyan ako ng kay gandang inspirasyon
(Inspirasyon?)

Disenyong pang-evening gown
Ang bihis ng mamang 'yan
Ganyan ang cut at bagsak
Pati ang kulay, ganyan
Pati ang sinepang niya
Kailangang makopya rin
Sinepang ay 'pag ginto
Strombotiko ang dating

Pati sinturon
At mga nakasabit
Gagayahin lahat
Nang makita ang burloloy
Isusuot ko
Pag ako'y nagko-conga
Para tela kaya
Ano'ng dapat gamitin?

Chiffon o satin
Pelus ba o tapeta?
Paisip na lang
Sa inyong kostorera

Sino ba'ng dalawang nariyan?
Si Aeneas ang nagkakarga
At 'yang matandang karga niya?
Si Anchises na kanyang ama
At sino sila?
Ang artista, at ang kanyang konsensya

Conga

Aba, hey what
She gives me such good inspiration
(Inspiration?)

Evening gown design
How the mama dressed
That's the cut and the drape
That's the colour, the shape
Even the gun that she wore
Must be copied too
The gun be gold
Doing the strobo-thing

Even the belt
And the things that hang
Gonna copy them all
When I saw the bauble
I will wear it
When I go to conga
So for fabric
What we gonna use?

Chiffon or satin
Velvet or taffeta?
Just check your mind
With your dressmaker

Who is there, those two?
Aeneas is the one carrying
And the old man, what he's carrying?
Anchises, his father
And who are they?
The artist, and the conscience
