  • Pero chica, mi amiga, ¿qué dice?
    Esto es yo, esto es yo
    Y como hablo y hablo así y hablo así contigo
    Nuh man
    What we're gonna do right here is go back, (nuh man you know) way back, back into time

    Ay, pero man no soy tu amiga, tú sabes
    Yo soy tu amiga (I don't speak Swahili)
    ¿Qué? ¿Pero qué dices chica? Ay, me voy

    Down this wild street walks, walks a child with no trace
    Of ever being as young as her sister is
    A local neighbourhood crush, the boys would hide out and watch
    Her hanging washing on the line, all the time
    More like a woman, she talks like one
    She was the first girl, she was the first girl, to turn the boys on

    Boys, boys, wrapped around her finger
    So young Making love was only dreaming
    This girl, she's got another story
    When they are gone she blows them kisses on the wind

    Te compraste una bomba pero no me importa
    At the corner shop, halfway down the block
    All the radios pumping to the way she walks
    Past the flyboys art, where her name's engraved
    Sweet liberty is what it says
    More like a woman, she dress like one
    She was the first girl, she was the first girl, to turn the boys on

    Boys, boys, wrapped around her finger
    So young making love was only dreaming
    This girl, she's got another story
    When they are gone she blows them kisses on the wind

    Te compraste una bomba
    Pero no me importa, qué te digo, hombre, mi amigo
    Ah it doesn't matter, you know what I'm saying
    ah no, forget it because I'm going there man you know?
    You can follow me but you know what I'm saying don't make me say it
    Ah, no sé (okay, me voy)

    The price of puberty's got a way of showing
    It doesn't come in easy stages
    Her mother's face in the pot, won't ever leave it
    She needs a bell to ring the changes
    More like a woman she walks like one
    She was the first girl, she was the first girl, to turn the boys on

    Boys, boys, wrapped around her finger
    So young making love was only dreaming
    This girl, she's got another story
    When they are gone she blows them kisses on the wind

    Boys, boys, wrapped around her finger
    So young making love was only dreaming
    This girl, she's got another story
    When they are gone she blows them kisses on the wind

    Boys, boys, wrapped around her finger
    So young making love was only dreaming
    This girl, she's got another story
    When they are gone she blows them kisses on the wind

    Boys, boys, wrapped around her finger
    So young making love was only dreaming
    This girl, she's got another story
    When they are gone she blows them kisses on the wind Writer/s: Cameron Mcvey, Neneh Cherry
