Lucía, la corista
su padre es vago, su madre es santa y ella la que canta;
en la familia, el único listo, su hermano francisco,
becado en holanda, y allí vive con una holandesa
de padre belga y madre danesa.
lucía es la corista de una orquesta de poca monta,
aunque ni canta ni es artista , pero nadie se lo nota.
y que carisma tiene lucía,
si nunca tuvo ni un buen desnudo,
¡quien lo diría!
y toca el límite de lo decente,
se peina y siente como una diva en los años veinte.
a ella, que no lo niega, le pone de buen humor el ron,
de ahí , que alguna vez, sin razón aparente,
se caiga de repente,
y es que su padre, aparte de vago pasó las tardes
de trago en trago.
hay días que no va por casa, pudiera ser que tuviera una gala,
su madre calla, su padre no habla,
porque la niña es la que canta.
y que carisma tiene lucía,
si nunca tuvo ni un buen desnudo,
¡quien lo diría!
y toca el límite de lo decente,
se peina y siente como una diva en los años veinte.
y qué carisma tiene... (repete)
Lucía, the Backup Singer
her dad's a slacker, her mom's a saint, and she's the one who sings;
in the family, the only smart one is her brother Francisco,
on a scholarship in Holland, living there with a Dutch girl
whose dad's Belgian and her mom's Danish.
Lucía's the backup singer in a low-rent band,
even though she can't sing and isn't an artist, but no one seems to mind.
And what charisma Lucía has,
even though she's never had a good nude shot,
who would’ve thought!
And she pushes the limits of decency,
she styles her hair and feels like a diva from the twenties.
For her, who doesn’t deny it, rum puts her in a good mood,
so sometimes, for no apparent reason,
she just falls down,
and it's that her dad, besides being a slacker, spends his afternoons
going drink for drink.
There are days she doesn’t come home, maybe she’s got a gig,
her mom stays quiet, her dad doesn’t say a word,
because the girl is the one who sings.
And what charisma Lucía has,
even though she's never had a good nude shot,
who would’ve thought!
And she pushes the limits of decency,
she styles her hair and feels like a diva from the twenties.
And what charisma she has... (repeat)
