Bogota Affair (I Fear) - Kid Creole And The Coconuts

You say you saw my love in Bogota

Oh, no, no she in Havana

She got no relative in Bogota

All her people are in Cuba

No, it couldn’t be Carmela

It was some other muchacha

And, as bad as your eyes are

I forgive the mistake

You say you saw my love in Bogota

(Si señor)

That you stopped and you spoke to her

(Si señor)

What was she doing in Bogota

(por favor)

Oh, you promised to lie for her

(Si señor)

Well, if she asked you not to speak of it

Oh, then why did you tell me this

Don’t you know ignorance is bliss

And, true love is blind

Don’t you hurt me, bro

Shoo shoo

Go, man, go

Shoo shoo

Shoo shoo

If she, if she, if she, if she asked you, asked you not to speak of it

Oh, then why did you tell me this

Don’t you know, don’t you know ignorance is bliss

I’d rather you lie

Lie

Lie

Lie

Don’t hurt me!

Viste mi amor en Bogota

Oh, no, ella es de Havana

No tiene familia en Bogota

Su familia de Cuba

Mira, no puede ser Carmela

Debe ser otra muchacha

Y, como sigues puesta ciego

Yo te voy perdonar

Viste mi amor en Bogota

(sí, señor)

Para con ella

(si, senor)

Ella te lo de amor en Bogota

(por, favor)

Y prometiste mentir por ella

(si, senor)

Si te pidio no repitelo

(oh, no)

Di me por qué me lo diste

(oh, no, no, no)

Mi amor es ignorancia ciega

(sí, sí)

You mas prefiero soñar

(sí, sí seńor)

If you know something I don’t know

About the girl that I love so

Shut your mouth

Go Away

Come again some other day

If you know something I don’t know

About the girl that I love so

Shut your mouth

Go Away

Come again some other day
