The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Juanita Banana" by Henri Salvador.
Lyrics
Dans un village de La Havane
Vivait la jolie Juanita
Comme son père plantait des bananes
On l’appelait Juanita Banana
Elle avait une voix magnifique
Et rêvait de chanter à l’opéra
Mais son père qui n’pigeait rien à la musique
Disait «ma fille a une drôle de voix»
Ahhhh ah ah ah ah…
Juanita banana…
Ahhhh ah ah ah ah…
Un jour elle partit en cachette
Et prit le train pour Cuba
Deux mois après elle était vedette
La grande diva de l’opéra
Quand on lui dit qu’avec une voix pareille
Sa fille gagnait des millions
Le père courut au village
S’acheta une guitare d’occasion
En criant «au diable les bananes
J’me lance aussi dans la chanson»
Et alors
Laaaa… la la la la…
Ahhhh ah ah ah ah…
Lyrics translation
In a village in Havana
Lived the pretty Juanita
As his father planted bananas
It was called Juanita Banana
She had a beautiful voice
And dreamed of singing at the Opera
But his father who didn't know anything about the music
Said " My daughter has a funny voice»
Ahhhh ah ah ah ah…
Juanita banana…
Ahhhh ah ah ah ah…
One day she went into hiding
And took the train to Cuba
Two months later she was a star
The great opera diva
When you tell him that with such a voice
His daughter made millions
The father ran to the village
Bought a used guitar
Shouting " to hell with bananas
I also get into the song»
And then
Laaaa ... la la la la…
Ahhhh ah ah ah ah…
