Bongo there, bongo cha cha cha
Tell me about South America
What they say over there
Maybe it's just fantasy and nothing more

Bongo there, bongo cha cha cha
Is it really so fantastic
Tell me honestly
What happens in the nights in Rio?

It's nice to put on your head
Sugarloaf hats
With a heart always trembling
Ah, ah, ah, ah, who knows, who knows

They sing on a thousand streets
They dance in a thousand squares
The hours no longer count
Between mambo and cha cha cha, oh, oh, oh

Bongo there, bongo cha cha cha
Tell me about South America
Tell me honestly
What happens in the nights in Rio?

It's nice to put on your head
Sugarloaf hats
With a heart always trembling
Ah, ah, ah, ah, who knows, who knows

They sing on a thousand streets
They dance in a thousand squares
The hours no longer count
Between mambo and cha cha cha, oh, oh, oh

Bongo there, bongo cha cha cha
Tell me about South America
Tell me honestly
What happens in the nights in Rio?
