Bongo Cha Cha Cha (original)Bongo Cha Cha Cha (translation)
Bongo la, bongo cha-cha-chaBongo la, bongo cha-cha-cha
Parlami del Sud AmericaSpeak to me of South America’s sunlit veins,
Quello che dicono laggiùOf what they murmur in that distant quarter—
Forse è fantasia e nulla piùPerhaps mere dreamwork, spun from longing’s skein
Bongo la, bongo cha-cha-chaBongo la, bongo cha-cha-cha
È davver così fantasticaHow wondrous is that world, near-myth, I know—
Dimmelo con sinceritàConfide in me, in candor’s gentle art,
Nelle notti a Rio che si fa?When Rio’s night unfolds, what do men do below?
In testa è bello mettereUpon one’s brow, what pleasure—oh, to crown
Cappelli a pan di zuccheroOur thoughts with hats like sugarloafed, pale peaks,
Con cuore sempre in fremitoWhile in my heart, a bird beats wild and unbound,
Ahi-ahi-ahi-ahi, chissà, chissàAy, ay, ay, who knows what fate yet seeks?
Per mille strade cantanoA thousand streets resound with song’s bright fire,
Per mille piazze danzanoA thousand plazas pulse beneath the feet—
Le ore più non contanoThe hours are shed, time’s web unwinds entire,
Fra mambo e cha-cha-cha, oh-oh-ohBetween the mambo and the cha-cha-cha’s sweet heat
Bongo la, bongo cha-cha-chaBongo la, bongo cha-cha-cha
Parlami del Sud AmericaSpeak to me of South America’s jungled bloom,
Dimmelo con sinceritàConfide in me, let truth’s clear light appear,
Nelle notti a Rio che si fa?When Rio’s night is born, what stirs the room?
In testa è bello mettеreUpon one’s brow, what pleasure—oh, to crown
Cappelli a pan di zuccheroOur thoughts with hats like sugarloafed, pale peaks,
Con cuorе sempre in fremitoWhile in my heart, a bird beats wild and unbound,
Ahi-ahi-ahi-ahi, chissà, chissàAy, ay, ay, who knows what fate yet seeks?
Per mille strade cantanoA thousand streets resound with song’s bright fire,
Per mille piazze danzanoA thousand plazas pulse beneath the feet—
Le ore più non contanoThe hours are shed, time’s web unwinds entire,
Fra mambo e cha-cha-cha, oh-oh-ohBetween the mambo and the cha-cha-cha’s sweet heat
Bongo la, bongo cha-cha-chaBongo la, bongo cha-cha-cha
Parlami del Sud AmericaSpeak to me of South America’s golden gleam,
Dimmelo con sinceritàConfide in me, let truth come forth and grow,
Nelle notti a Rio che si fa?When Rio’s midnight sighs, what do you dream?
