Songoro Cosongo Lyrics in English Héctor Lavoe
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Songoro Cosongo by Héctor Lavoe from Spanish to English.
Ay negra, si tu supieras
Oh babe, if you only knew
Que anoche te ví pasar
That last night I saw you walk by
Y no quise que me vieras
And I didn't want you to see me
A él tú le harás como a mí
You'll do him like you did me
Que cuando no tuve plata
‘Cause when I was broke
Te corriste de bachata
You ditched me mid-bachata
Sin acordarte de mí
Without sparing me a thought
Songoro cosongo de mamey
Songoro cosongo of mamey
Songoro la negra baila bien
