Текст и перевод песни Héctor Lavoe - Songoro Cosongo

Songoro Cosongo

Ay negra, si tú supieras
Que anoche te ví pasar
Y no quise que me vieras
A él tú le harás como a mí
Que cuando no tuve plata
Te corriste de bachata
Sin acordarte de mí

(Songoro cosongo de mamey
Songoro la negra baila bien)
(Songoro pregunto te deje
Songoro le digo songoro que fue)

A, eh, vengan a ver
A, eh, y a comprender
Vengan songoro cosongo
Songoro cosongo de mamey
Vengan songoro cosongo
Songoro cosongo de mamey

Mi negrita a mí me dijo
Que me fuera pal batey

Songo, songo
Songoro cosongo songo de mamey

(Songoro cosongo de mamey
Songoro la negra baila bien)
Si quieres bailar pues baila mami
Que tu te mueves muy bien
(Songoro cosongo de mamey
Songoro la negra baila bien)
Ni a Teresa, ñi a Tomasa
ñi a Teresa, ñi a Inei
(Songoro cosongo de mamey
Songoro la negra baila bien)
Ay mírala cómo baila
Pegadita de los hombres tu vé
(Songoro cosongo de mamey
Songoro la negra baila bien)

Mírala como camina mima
Su traje le queda bien
(Songoro cosongo de mamey
Songoro la negra baila bien)
Qué negrita perfilada
Todos la quieren tener
(Songoro cosongo de mamey
Songoro la negra baila bien)
She, son, she go, she, ro, she, son
She, di, she, go, she, son, she, go, she, ro
She, de, maguey
(Songoro cosongo de mamey
Songoro la negra baila bien)
Se lo digo en jeringonza
En español o en inglés

(Songoro pregunto te dejé)
(Songoro pregunto te dejé)
(Songoro pregunto te dejé)
(Songoro pregunto te dejé)

Tú me estas volviendo loco y no me explico ¿Por qué?
(Songoro cosongo de mamey
Songoro la negra baila bien)
Será como tu te mueves o será como te ves
(Songoro cosongo de mamey
Songoro la negra baila bien)
Un pasito para lante, y devuélvete al revés
(Songoro cosongo de mamey
Songoro la negra baila bien)
Ay a mí me patina el coco cuando la veo yo a usted

(Songoro pregunto te dejé)
(Songoro pregunto te dejé)
(Songoro pregunto te dejé)
(Songoro pregunto te dejé)

Mira como baila Marcolina, lo baila en un solo pie
(Songoro cosongo de mamey
Songoro la negra baila bien)
Y dejó el guiro en la casa, lo dejó a Bartolomé
(Songoro cosongo de mamey
Songoro la negra baila bien)
Tumbaito mama, tumbaito tu ve
Tumbaito que rico, mamasita tené
(Songoro cosongo de mamey
Songoro la negra baila bien)
Déjala que corra lejo, que un día yo la agarraré
(Songoro cosongo de mamey
Songoro la negra baila bien)

(Songoro le digo, songo es lo que fue)
(Songoro le digo, songo es lo que fue)
(Songoro le digo, songo es lo que fue)
(Songoro le digo, songo es lo que fue)
(Songoro le digo, songo es lo que fue)

Dile dile mamasita, dile dónde te encontré
(Songoro cosongo de mamey
Songoro la negra baila bien)
Cuéntame lo que está pasando en Bélgica
Que muy pronto los veré
(Songoro cosongo de mamey
Songoro la negra baila bien)
Que viva la negramenta, los negritos del batey
(Songoro cosongo de mamey
Songoro la negra baila bien)
Dime si entendiste el Sorocosongo
Si no lo entendiste no repetiré
(Songoro cosongo de mamey
Songoro la negra baila bien)

Songoro Cosongo

Oh, my darling, if you only knew
That last night I saw you go by
And I didn't want you to see me
You'll do to him just like you did to me
That when I had no money
You ran off bachata dancing
Without remembering me

(Songoro cosongo of mamey
Songoro the black woman dances well)
(Songoro I ask, did I leave you?
Songoro I tell him, songoro is what it was)

Ah, hey, come and see
Ah, hey, and understand
Come songoro cosongo
Songoro cosongo of mamey
Come songoro cosongo
Songoro cosongo of mamey

My little black girl told me
To go to the batey

Songo, songo
Songoro cosongo songo of mamey

(Songoro cosongo of mamey
Songoro the black woman dances well)
If you want to dance, then dance, baby
Because you move so well
(Songoro cosongo of mamey
Songoro the black woman dances well)
Neither Teresa, nor Tomasa
Neither Teresa, nor Inei
(Songoro cosongo of mamey
Songoro the black woman dances well)
Oh, look at how she dances
Stuck close to the men, you see
(Songoro cosongo of mamey
Songoro the black woman dances well)

Look at how she walks, baby
Her dress looks good on her
(Songoro cosongo of mamey
Songoro the black woman dances well)
What a shapely little black girl
Everyone wants to have her
(Songoro cosongo of mamey
Songoro the black woman dances well)
She, son, she go, she, ro, she, son
She, di, she, go, she, son, she, go, she, ro
She, de, maguey
(Songoro cosongo of mamey
Songoro the black woman dances well)
I tell her in gibberish
In Spanish or in English

(Songoro I ask, did I leave you?)
(Songoro I ask, did I leave you?)
(Songoro I ask, did I leave you?)
(Songoro I ask, did I leave you?)

You're driving me crazy and I can't explain why
(Songoro cosongo of mamey
Songoro the black woman dances well)
Could it be the way you move or the way you look
(Songoro cosongo of mamey
Songoro the black woman dances well)
One step forward, and you go back the other way
(Songoro cosongo of mamey
Songoro the black woman dances well)
Oh my head spins when I see you, you

(Songoro I ask, did I leave you?)
(Songoro I ask, did I leave you?)
(Songoro I ask, did I leave you?)
(Songoro I ask, did I leave you?)

Look how Marcolina dances, she dances on one foot
(Songoro cosongo of mamey
Songoro the black woman dances well)
And she left the guiro at home, she left it with Bartolomé
(Songoro cosongo of mamey
Songoro the black woman dances well)
Tumbaito mama, tumbaito you see
Tumbaito how delicious, mamasita have some
(Songoro cosongo of mamey
Songoro the black woman dances well)
Let her run far away, one day I'll catch her
(Songoro cosongo of mamey
Songoro the black woman dances well)

(Songoro I tell him, songo is what it was)
(Songoro I tell him, songo is what it was)
(Songoro I tell him, songo is what it was)
(Songoro I tell him, songo is what it was)
(Songoro I tell him, songo is what it was)

Tell me, tell me, mamasita, tell me where I found you
(Songoro cosongo of mamey
Songoro the black woman dances well)
Tell me what's happening in Belgium
That I'll see them very soon
(Songoro cosongo of mamey
Songoro the black woman dances well)
Long live the black people, the little black people of the batey
(Songoro cosongo of mamey
Songoro the black woman dances well)
Tell me if you understood the Sorocosongo
If you didn't understand, I won't repeat it
(Songoro cosongo of mamey
Songoro the black woman dances well)
