Rushden road Margarita danced
"blow Don D blow" she said like inna trance
she was de queen of de rumba beat
he was de troubled man of de ska beat.
On new year's eve inna Johnsontown
de Skatalites played from dusk till dawn
wrong medication plus depression
blood on de floor whappened troubled Don?

Stabbed in di chest convicted murderer
she met her death when she met her lover
"open di door fi me open Junie!"
di clock stroke four...end of di story.
Inna Bellevue, home of lunatics,

Ya no quiero verte cercaAunque me duela aléjate con tus palabrasAun viniendo de tu boca
y de tu hermoso cuerpo hieren como balasEres como una serpientePero de angelito vienes disfrazadaMe hipnotizas por la nocheY muerdes por la madrugada
Ya no quiero depender de tiNi mencionarte tanto en mis cancionesYa ganaste el primer puestotambién el trofeo de rompecorazonesTienes engañado al universo entero
con tu inocente miradaJuegas con los sentimientos
Como una niña malcriada
Quiero encontrar una manera de salvarmeEstoy enloqueciendoY arrancarte de mi cuerpoAunque por ti me estoy muriendo
Me cansé de llorar por ti
Y de sufrir por tiMe cansé de intentar por tiY de llorar por tiSalte ya de mi corazónNo quiero mas decepciónMe cansé de esperar por tiY de llorar por ti
Tanto tiempo ya perdidoSe van de mis manos los días como el aguaTu con la mirada en altoY orgullosa como si fuera una hazaña
De rodillas yo le ruego al dios del cielo
que te aleje de mi vidaHas dejado mi alma en penaEl corazón en carne viva
Quiero encontrar una manera de salvarmeEstoy enloqueciendoY arrancarte de mi cuerpoAunque por ti me estoy muriendo
Me cansé de llorar por tiY de sufrir por tiMe cansé de intentar por tiY de llorar por tiSalte ya de mi corazónNo quiero mas decepciónMe cansé de esperar por tiY de llorar por ti (x2)
Me cansé de llorar por tiY de llorar por ti

I don't want to see you around anymoreEven if it hurts, go away with your wordsEven coming from your mouth
and of your beautiful body they hurt like bulletsYou are like a snakeBut as a little angel you come disguisedYou hypnotize me at nightAnd you bite in the morning
I don't want to depend on you anymoreNot even mentioning you in my songsYou've already won first placealso the heartbreaker trophyYou've got the whole universe fooled
with your innocent lookYou play with feelings
Like a spoiled child
I want to find a way to save myselfI'm going crazyAnd tear you from my bodyThough for you I'm dying
I got tired of crying for you
And to suffer for youI got tired of trying for youAnd to cry for youGet out of my heart nowI don't want any more disappointmentI got tired of waiting for youAnd to cry for you
So much time already lostThe days are gone from my hands like waterYou with your eyes up highAnd proud as if it were a stunt
On my knees I pray to the god of heaven
to take you away from my lifeYou have left my soul in sorrowThe heart in living flesh
I want to find a way to save myselfI'm going crazyAnd tear you from my bodyThough for you I'm dying
I got tired of crying for youAnd to suffer for youI got tired of trying for youAnd to cry for youGet out of my heart nowI don't want any more disappointmentI got tired of waiting for youAnd to cry for you (x2)
I got tired of crying for youAnd to cry for you

Tu es si belle que la samba va t'amener loin
Zun zun zun zun, Jussara viens "samber" (ce qui veut dire participer en une ronde de samba en chantant, jouant ou dansant ou tout à la fois)
Tu es si belle que la samba va te prendre.
