About Consuela Biaz

"Malaika" / "Consuela Biaz" is a double A-side single by German band Boney M. and the first single taken from their fifth album Boonoonoonoos (1981). It peaked at #13 in the German charts, their lowest placing so far after their commercial breakthrough. Boney M. would use the double A-side format in this period, typically with the A1 being the song intended for radio and A2 being more squarely aimed at discos. "Consuela Biaz" was first promoted as the A-side in Germany where the group performed it in pop show Musikladen. After a promotional visit to Spain where the group found "Malaika" had become a Top 10 hit, the title was remixed and then promoted as the A-side. It was the second consecutive Boney M. single not to be released in the UK and Japan.

In the hills above Freno
By a shiny mountain stream
A young man laid where he fell
In the ruins of his dreams
He looked into the sky
Happy to see that the dawn was slowly breaking
And the women knelt beside him
Consuela Biaz

[Chorus: x2]
Consuela Biaz she knelt there and gently
She bathed his wounds
And he kissed her trembling fingers
Consuela Biaz

In the town San Domingo
As we laughed and danced all night
To the thrub of flamingo guitars
Seemed a long long way from tomorrow's fight
He came from over the sea
Full of the passion of when
You were born to be free
From the Valley of Ronda
Consuela Biaz

[Chorus]

Consuela Biaz from the Valley of Ronda
To the hills above Freno
Just to die against her shoulder
Consuela Biaz

I'm sorry if I have failed you
