Lucía, la corista

Lucía, the Backup Singer

Lucía, la corista

her dad's a slacker, her mom's a saint, and she's the one who sings;su padre es vago, su madre es santa y ella la que canta;
in the family, the only smart one is her brother Francisco,en la familia, el único listo, su hermano francisco,
on a scholarship in Holland, living there with a Dutch girlbecado en holanda, y allí vive con una holandesa
whose dad's Belgian and her mom's Danish.de padre belga y madre danesa.

Lucía's the backup singer in a low-rent band,lucía es la corista de una orquesta de poca monta,
even though she can't sing and isn't an artist, but no one seems to mind.aunque ni canta ni es artista , pero nadie se lo nota.

And what charisma Lucía has,y que carisma tiene lucía,
even though she's never had a good nude shot,si nunca tuvo ni un buen desnudo,
who would’ve thought!¡quien lo diría!
And she pushes the limits of decency,y toca el límite de lo decente,
she styles her hair and feels like a diva from the twenties.se peina y siente como una diva en los años veinte.

For her, who doesn’t deny it, rum puts her in a good mood,a ella, que no lo niega, le pone de buen humor el ron,
so sometimes, for no apparent reason,de ahí , que alguna vez, sin razón aparente,
she just falls down,se caiga de repente,

and it's that her dad, besides being a slacker, spends his afternoonsy es que su padre, aparte de vago pasó las tardes
going drink for drink.de trago en trago.

There are days she doesn’t come home, maybe she’s got a gig,hay días que no va por casa, pudiera ser que tuviera una gala,
her mom stays quiet, her dad doesn’t say a word,su madre calla, su padre no habla,
because the girl is the one who sings.porque la niña es la que canta.

And what charisma Lucía has,y que carisma tiene lucía,
even though she's never had a good nude shot,si nunca tuvo ni un buen desnudo,
who would’ve thought!¡quien lo diría!
And she pushes the limits of decency,y toca el límite de lo decente,
she styles her hair and feels like a diva from the twenties.se peina y siente como una diva en los años veinte.

And what charisma she has... (repeat)y qué carisma tiene... (repete)
