La Nonna Magdalena [English translation]

Is Grandma Magdalena

She is round like a full moon

She is lazy,very lazy

But if she dances what a vitality

Is Grandma Magdalena

Between bonghitos and bongos she squirms

And she laughs,laughs and dances

Woman full of happines

Under the burning sun of Martinica

Every black man is dozing

But Grandma Magdalena

Wakes them up with a cha-cha-cha

Madonna de Pilar,Grandma dances

She is making everything shake

But who can stop her,Grandma dances

Grandma Maddalena,Magdalena

She keeps dancing cha-cha-cha

Is Grandma Magdalena

She is round like a full moon

She is lazy,very lazy

But if she dances what a vitality

Is Grandma Magdalena

Between bonghitos and bongos she squirms

And she laughs,laughs and dances

Woman full of happines

Under the burning sun of Martinica

Every nigger is dozing

But Grandma Magdalena

Wakes them up with a cha-cha-cha

Madonna de Pilar,Grandma dances

She is making everything shake

But who can stop her,Grandma dances

Grandma Maddalena,Magdalena
