The song "Felicidad" by Boney M. narrates the infatuation and desires of the singer towards a woman named Margherita, with lyrics full of metaphors comparing her to a holiday, America, and the Mardi Gras. The singer pleads to Mama, possibly referencing an older woman or a mother figure, to convey his feelings and desires to Margherita. The lyrics are infused with sensuality and summertime imagery, with the fantasy of a long-lasting summer song that represents the continuous pleasure that Margherita brings to the singer's life.
The repeated verse of "Felicidad," which means happiness in Spanish, sums up the overall sentiment of the song, which is about finding joy and contentment in a romantic connection. The song's upbeat and funky melody, coupled with the lyrics, creates a feeling of jubilation and fun that is typical of Boney M.'s style. Overall, "Felicidad" is a catchy love song that celebrates the simple pleasures of being infatuated with someone and the happiness it brings to one's life.

Definitivamente Bobby Farrell era EL ALMA DEL GRUPO, que talento, no paraba de bailar nunca y transmitía alegría!.
@GeorgeKuenzli
Sin embargo, se sabe que él, al igual que Maizie Williams, no sabía cantar.
La voz de Bobby era la de Frank Farian, mientras que la de Maizie podía ser la voz de Sheyla Bonnick, Madeleine Davis o Claudja Barry.
@dragoslavgrgurevic9826
Era lo único que hacía: no cantaba.

42 years later I have their cd in my car. Every song a hit. Timeless.
