freakish song that I have known for about 30 years. But maybe it is
"banano" here only because of the rhyme. It is all very banano :-)</font></div>

(02) [EN]<br><br>Elsa asked: “My question is is this a new SPANISH word based
on the ENGLISH pronounciation?”<br><br>To me the word “banano” means the tree
on which bananas grow. But, I just checked <a href="http://www.wordreference.com/" target="_blank">www.wordreference.com</a> (a source that I use a lot for translating)
and it does mean banana tree, but it also means banana in Central America and
Colombia.<br><br>Mark Brooks</div></blockquote></div></div>
