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.
VOICE 1: Everything that happens brushes my nose as if it were a passing thing. Butterfly that flew dressed in honey over the tide. Far from here, sorrows wander, trying to find you in the dark. That rumor is heard, it could be the carnival. CHORUS: Go on. VOICE 1: Let your feet mark the conga, and there will be no stones without the earth. CHORUS: Sing. VOICE 1: If you feel the need to be happy, and whoever listens. CHORUS: Change. VOICE 1: Life can be better if love prevails. CHORUS: Command. VOICE 1: All your dreams take flight and you'll see the joy. CHORUS: Jump. VOICE 1: Far from here, sorrows wander, trying to find you in the dark. You hear that murmur, it could be the carnival, already rolling in, you hear that murmur that dominates me and goes on intoning in its peace, the poetry to sing to love, to sing to life, that's why. CHORUS: Go on. VOICE 1: Let your feet mark the conga, and there will be no stones without the earth. CHORUS: Sing. VOICE 1: If you feel the need to be happy, and whoever listens to you.

VOZ 1: Todo lo que pasa
roza mi nariz
como si fuera cosa pasajera.
Mariposa que voló
vestida de miel sobre la marea.
Lejos de aquí vagan las penas,
tratando de hallarte a oscuras.
Se oye ese rumor,
puede ser el carnaval.
CORO: Anda.
VOZ 1: Que la conga la marcan tus pies, y no habrá piedras sin la tierra.
CORO: Canta.
VOZ 1: Si sientes la necesidad de ser feliz,
y quien te escucha.
CORO: Cambia.
VOZ 1: Que la vida puede ser mejor
si es el amor el que se impone.
CORO: Manda.
VOZ 1: Tus sueños todos a volar y ya verás
que la alegría.
CORO: Salta.
VOZ 1: Lejos de aquí
vagan las penas, tratando de hallarte a oscuras.
Se oye ese rumor,
puede ser el carnaval,
que ya viene arrollando,
se oye ese rumor que me domina
y va entonando en su paz, la poesía
para cantarle al amor,
para cantarle a la vida, por eso.
CORO: Anda.

suavecito.
