Conga pasajera

by Juan Carlos Marin and Yusa

An expressive jazz song about the 'conga' or Cuban carnival. The song talks about happy things like going walking, singing, leaping, and dancing.Yusa sings in Conga Pasajera (Passing Conga): anda? canta? salta? baila ? walk?sing? leap? dance!

Everything that passes

Tickles my nose

As if it were a passing thing

(a butterfly covered in honey flying over the waves)

Ah, ah, ah, ah,

Ah, ah, ah, ah,

Far away from here

My sorrows wander

Trying to find you in the shadows

Then comes the rumour

It could just be carnival.
