LYRICS: Donde estas, donde estas, Yolanda Que paso, que paso, Yolanda Te busque, te busque, Yolanda Y no estas, y no estas Yolanda Tus ojos me miraron Tus labios me besaron Con ese fuego ardiente Ardiente de mujer La luz de tu mirada El fuego de tus labios Flecharon a mi pecho y de ti me enamore Me dicen que paseabas En un carro, Yolanda Muy guapa y arrogante Y todos te silbaban Si un dia te encontrara No se que puedo hacer No se me vuelvo loco Si ya no te vuelvo a ver ¿Donde Estas Yolanda? English translation Where are you, Yolanda? What happened, Yolanda? I’ve looked for you, Yolanda And you’re not here, Yolanda Your eyes gazed at mine Your lips kissed mine With desire and passion The passion of a woman The sparkle in your eye The fire of your lips Conquered my heart And I fell in love with you They tell me your were cruising around In your new car, Yolanda Looking very pretty and proud And all the men whistled at you If someday I find you I won’t know what will happen I think I will go crazy If I never see you again LINEUP: Thomas M.
