Over the Waves
Over the waves a ship goesOver the waves a ship goes
And it goes and goes, and it goes and goes
And it goes and goes, and it goes and goes ra ra ra
Like the people of my city
Like the people of my city
Of my city, of my city
Of my city, of my cit- ra ra ra
I feel very happy
In the morning when I wake up
I have some food
And I leave for work
I walk down the street watching
The people who come and go
They're as happy as I feel
When I hear them greet each other
What's up, how's it going?
What's up, how's it going? ra ra ra
I walk down the street watching
The people who come and go
They're as happy as I feel
When I hear them greet each other
Hello what's up, hello what's up?
How's it going, how how's it going?
Hello what's up, the brunette says to me
How's it going, over there in Cartagena1
Savadivaduva, savadivaduva2
Savadivadu, sava dava
Savadivaduva, savadivaduva
Savadivadu, sava dava
And again, Latin Brothers
To dance and have fun
Hello what's up, hello what's up?
How's it going, how's it going?
Hello what's up, in Barranquilla?3
How's it going, in Cartagena?
Hello what's up, your November party
How's it going, I'm gonna enjoy myself
Hello what's up, in Barranquilla?
How's it going, with a brunette
And again, just what I like
- 1. Two large cities, one in Spain and one in Colombia, are called Cartagena. But it's probably referring to the one in Colombia, since The Latin Brothers are Colombian and lyrics below refer to Barranquilla in Colombia.
- 2. These lyrics don't appear to have any meaning (called a non-lexical vocable).
- 3. A large port city of 1.2 million people in northern Colombia.
