Olga Songtext
von Harry Belafonte

One day I went on a pleasure cruise
Sailing ′cross the ocean it was beautiful
All at once something caught my eye
It was Lena passing by
Right then and there I knew, this was the girl for me

As we looked at each other
She smiled and I asked her name
As she spoke I could tell I would never be quite the same
I said, "Will you come go with me
To a calypso jamboree

And dance the calypso (dancing calypso)
Rock and roll a go-go? (And roll a go-go)
Lena, don't tеll me no"
And dance the calypso (dancing calypso)
Rock and roll a go-go (and roll a go-go)
Lena, don′t tell me no


As we stood there together gazing at the open sea
I couldn't help telling her what she meant to a guy like me
With such beauty and with such class, boy, I knew that I must act fast
I had to find a way to make Lena go with me

I could see she was anxious to go, but she hesitate
She was afraid to agree with a stranger for a date
As the sun slowly slipped away
I was happy to hear her say

She would dance the calypso (dancing calypso)
Rock and roll a go-go (rock and roll a go-go)
Lena, I'm happy so
And dance the calypso (dancing calypso)
Rock and roll a go-go (and roll a go-go)
Lena, I′m happy so

Carnival is tomorrow, we′re gonna have a ball
I know that Lena will be the prettiest girl of all
All the fellows will envy me, they'll be poppin′ their eyes to see
When we dance together (we dance together)
We will want no other (will want no other)
They will want to get her (they will never get her)
I will tell them, "Never!" (I'll tell them, "Never!")


Dancing the calypso (dancing calypso)
Rock and roll a go-go (and roll a go-go)
Lena, I love you so

Dancing the calypso (dancing calypso)
Rock and roll a go-go (and roll a go-go)
