“Carolina”
Carolina, a wonder of a woman
Carolina is a very difficult girl to forget
Beautiful walk and a shine in her eye
She has a youthful way that drives me crazy
And a swing that I’m not gonna lie
Female wonder, my sweet parfait
Intelligent, she is very sensual
I confess that I’m in love with you
Ah Carolina this is totally natural
Ah Carolina I need you
Ah Caroline I’m not going to stand not seeing you
Carolina I have to tell you
Ah Carolina I’m going to love you

From Monday to Monday I go crazy to see you
When I call you you’re almost never there
There was something else I wanted to tell you
We don’t have time so better to let it go
In principle what do you want to do on Sunday
Make a request and I’ll make it happen
Look my friend, I’m saying she only gives me pleasure
This girl Carolina will knock you out
Hi, ah Carolina I need you
Ah Carolina I won’t be able to stand not seeing you
Carolina I need to talk to you
Ah Carolina I’m going to love you

Carolina, Carolina
Carolina, I have to meet you
Carolina, I feel very alone
Carolina, I have to tell you
Ah Carolina I just want to love you

Ah Carolina I’m going to love you
I’m going to love you, I’m gonna give you lots of care
I’ll give you a little kiss on your nape
Ah Carolina, beautiful babe, beautiful babe

Carol, Carol, Carol, Carol, Carol….
