Burundanga (part. Lola Flores) Celia Cruz (English Translation) Lyrics

Songo gave it to Borondongo
Borondongo gave it to Bernabé
Bernabé hit Muchilanga
He threw burundanga on them
They swell their feet
Monina

Songo gave it to Borondongo
Borondongo gave it to Bernabé
Bernabé hit Muchilanga
He threw burundanga on them
They swell their feet

Mama Abambelé practices love
There she defends humans
Because that is your brother, it is better to live

Mama Abambelé practices love
There she defends humans
Because that is your brother, it is better to live

And it continues
Why did Songo give it to Borondongo?
Because Borondongo gave it to Bernabé
Why did Borondongo give it to Bernabé?
Because Bernabé hit Muchilanga
Why did Bernabé hit Muchilanga?
Because Muchilanga threw burundanga on them
Why did Muchilanga throw burundanga on them?
Because burundanga swells their feet

Why did Songo give it to Borondongo?
Because Borondongo gave it to Bernabé
Why did Borondongo give it to Bernabé?
Because Bernabé hit Muchilanga
Why did Bernabé hit Muchilanga?
Because Muchilanga threw burundanga on them
Why did Muchilanga throw burundanga on them?
Because burundanga swells their feet

Mama Abambelé practices love
Defends humans
Because living is better among brothers

Mama Abambelé practices love
There she defends humans
Because that is your brother, it is better to live

Songo gave it to Borondongo
Borondongo gave it to Bernabé
Bernabé hit Muchilanga
He threw burundanga on them
They swell their feet
Monina

Songo gave it to Borondongo
Borondongo gave it to Bernabé
Bernabé hit Muchilanga
He threw burundanga on them
They swell their feet
Monina

Songo gave it to Borondongo
Borondongo gave it to Bernabé
Bernabé hit Muchilanga
He threw burundanga on them
They swell their feet
Monina

Songo gave it to Borondongo
Borondongo gave it to Bernabé
Bernabé hit Muchilanga
He threw burundanga on them
They swell their feet
Monina
