Schuld war nur der Bossa Nova English translation
von Manuela

When little Jane was just 18
Jim took her to the dancing bar
But the next day her mom asked
Child, why were you only here this morning?

It was all the Bossa Nova's fault
What can I do about it?
It was all the Bossa Nova's fault
Please believe me

Because when someone can dance the bossa nova
That's when great love begins for me
It was all the Bossa Nova's fault
It was his fault

Was it the moonlight? Well, the bossa nova
Or was it the wine? Well, the bossa nova
Can that be possible? Ye-ye, the bossa nova
Was to blame


But little Jane didn't always stay little
First she had Jim, then a little daughter
And today the daughter asks her mom
Since when have you and dad liked each other?

It was all the Bossa Nova's fault
What can I do about it?
It was all the Bossa Nova's fault
Please believe me

Because when someone can dance the bossa nova
That's when great love begins for me
It was all the Bossa Nova's fault
It was his fault

Was it the moonlight? Well, the bossa nova
Or was it the wine? Well, the bossa nova
Can that be possible? Ye-ye the bossa nova
Was to blame

Was it the moonlight? Well, the bossa nova
Or was it the wine? Well, the bossa nova
Can that be possible? Ye-ye, the bossa nova
