Lyrics Babaratiri - Tito Puente, Mongo Santamaria

Babaratiri

Watching her
Strolling in the night, so white
Wondering why it’s only after dark
In her eyes
A distant fire light burns bright
Wondering why it’s only after dark
I find myself in her room
Feel the fever of my doom
Falling, falling through the floor
I’m knocking on the Devil’s door, yeah
In the dawn
I wake up to find her gone
And a note says, 'Only after dark'
Burning, burning in the flame
Now I know her secret name
You can tear her temple down
But she’ll be back and rule again
In my heart
The deep and dark and lonely part
Wants her and waits for after dark
After dark, after dark, after dark
