VOICE 1: Beautiful. Everything she asked for, a massage I gave her, and when I left the house she always left me sad. I only drank the coffee she brewed and I only ate what she cooked for me. Oh, oh, oh, she put a spell on me. Oh, oh, oh, she put a spell on me. I don't know why, since I taught her to love, I gave her my heart, I was the one who made her a woman. I ask, I want to understand, I consult my congo. He doesn't tell me why Tomasa put a spell on me? He doesn't tell me why Tomasa put a spell on me? Oh, oh, oh, she put a spell on me. Oh, oh, oh, she put a spell on me. Oh, wow, yes, sir. What a show-off. CHORUS: Oh, oh, oh, she put a spell on me. VOICE 1: But look how much I love her, I put everything she asks for in her mouth. CHORUS: Oh, oh, oh, she put a spell on me. VOICE 1: They had me tied up with faith, they had me, but I never broke free. CHORUS: Oh, oh, oh, she put a spell on me. VOICE 1: Let me tell you that every morning I consult with my shaman. CHORUS: Oh, oh, oh, she put a spell on me. (…)
VOZ 1: Lindo.
Todo lo que me pedía
un masaje yo se lo daba
y cuando salía de casa
siempre triste me dejaba.
Yo no más que me bebía
el café que ella colaba
y no más que comía
lo que ella me cocinaba.
Ay, ay, ay,
me echó bilongo.
Ay, ay, ay,
me echó bilongo.
Yo no sé por qué razón
si yo le enseñé a querer,
le entregué mi corazón,
fui yo quien la hizo mujer.
Pregunto, quiero entender,
lo consulto con mi congo.
no me dice ¿por qué
Tomasa me echó bilongo?
No me dice ¿por qué
Tomasa me echó bilongo?
Ay, ay, ay,
me echó bilongo.
Ay, ay, ay,
me echó bilongo.
Ah, caray
Sí, señor.
Vaya que aguaje.
CORO: Ay, ay, ay,
me echó bilongo.
VOZ 1: Pero que mira si la quiero mucho
que todo lo que me pide en la boca se lo pongo.
CORO: Ay, ay, ay,
me echó bilongo.
VOZ 1: Me tenían amarrado con fe,
me tenían pero nunca me solté.
CORO: Ay, ay, ay,
me echó bilongo.
VOZ 1: Déjame decirte que todas las mañanas
me consulto con mi congo.
CORO: Ay, ay, ay,
me echó bilongo.
