letra de under the bamboo tree - peter stampfel
[verse 1]
down in the jungles lived a maid
of royal blood and dusky shade
a marked impression once she made
upon a zulu from matabooloo
and every morning he would be
down underneath a bamboo tree
awaiting there his love to see
and then to her he’d sing
[chorus]
if you like a me, like i like a you
and we like a both the same
i like a say, this very day
i like a change your name
‘cause i love a you and love a you true
and if you a love a me
one live as two, two live as one
under the bamboo tree
[verse 2]
and in this simple jungle way
he wooed the maiden everyday
by singing what he had to say
one day he seized her and gently squeezed her
and then beneath the bamboo green
he begged her to become his queen
the dusky maiden blushed unseen
and joined him in his song
[chorus]
if you like a me, like i like a you
and we like a both the same
i like a say, this very day
i like a change your name
‘cause i love a you and love a you true
and if you a love a me
one live as two, two live as one
under the bamboo tree
[verse 3]
this little story strange but true
is often told in mataboo
of how this zulu tried to woo
his jungle lady in tropics shady
although it happened far away
right here at home i got to say
you’ll hear somebody everyday
repeat this sweet refrain
[chorus]
if you like a me, like i like a you
and we like a both the same
i like a say, this very day
i like a change your name
‘cause i love a you and love a you true
and if you a love a me
one live as two, two live as one
under the bamboo tree
