Kirsty MacColl - Mambo De La Luna lyrics

I know an island where the people are kind
And the rest of the world seems far away
Maybe it's only in the back of my mind
But, I know when I go that's where I'll stay

"C'mon, c'mon" dice la Inglesa
("Come on, come on" says the English woman)
"C'est bon, C'est bon" dice la Francesa
("It's good
It's good" says the French woman)
"Ay, que lindo" dice la
Cubana singing far away
("Oh how handsome!" says the Cuban woman)
Que buena fortuna (Such good luck)
Esa es mi vida (This is my life)
Como el mambo de la luna
(like the mambo of the moon)
I know a land where they live for today
'Cause tomorrow is too far away
Maybe one day you will go there with me
And we'll dance underneath the ceiba tree

"C'mon, c'mon" dice la Inglesa
("Come on, come on" says the English woman)
"C'est bon, C'est bon" dice la Francesa
("It's good
It's good" says the French woman)
"Ay, candela!" dice la Cubana
Singing far away
("Oh!" says the Cuban woman)
Que buena fortuna (Such good luck)
Esa es mi vida (This is my life)
Como el mambo de la luna
(like the mambo of the moon)

La vida es dura, el corazon es puro
Y cantamos hasta la madrugada
(Life is hard, the heart is pure
And we dance until dawn)
El dia no es facil, el trabajo es dificil
Entonces bailamos hasta la madrugada
(The day's not easy, work is hard
Then we dance until dawn)

"C'mon c'mon" dice la Inglesa
("Come on, come on" says the English woman)
"C'est bon, C'est bon" dice la Francesa
("It's good
It's good" says the French woman)
"Ay, que rico!" dice la
Cubana singing far away
("Oh how rich!" says the Cuban woman)
Que buena fortuna (Such good luck)
Esa es mi vida (This is my life)
Como el mambo de la luna
(like the mambo of the moon)
Love is the key to the dance
You can move in a trance when
The music sets you free
Don't be afraid of the rhythm
It's made to give
Life to the way you want to be

Si, yo te quiero como quiero agua pura
(Yes, I want you like I want pure water)
Si, yo te quiero como mueves la cintura
(Yes, I want you, how you move your waist)
Sí tu me quieres, trae me la luna
(If you want me, bring me the moon)
No solo una parte pero la luna entira
(Not just a piece but the entire moon)

"C'mon c'mon" dice la Inglesa
("Come on, come on" says the English woman)
"C'est bon, C'est bon" dice la Francesa
("It's good
It's good" says the French woman)
"Ay, que rico!" dice la
Cubana singing far away
("Oh how rich!" says the Cuban woman)
Que buena fortuna (Such good luck)
Esa es mi vida (This is my life)
Como el mambo de la luna
(like the mambo of the moon)
