La Chola Pelada

The Bald Chola

La Chola Pelada

For being a street girl they called her the chola,Por ser callejera le decian la chola,
because she was tattooed they called her the chola,por andar tatuada le decian la chola,
because she was a gang member they called her the cholapor ser pandillera le decian la chola
and everyone called her the cholay toda la gente le decia la chola

She had beautiful hair, long hairTenia un pelo hermoso, cabellera larga
but one day the chola decided to cut it,pero un dia la chola decidio cortarla,
it looked so ugly, she shaved it all off,le quedo tan fea, se lo corto a rapa,
when people saw her they shouted:cuando la veian la gente gritaba:

The chola shaved her head, the bald chola,¡Se pelo la chola, la chola pelada,
how ugly the chola, the bald chola!ahi que fea la chola, la chola pelada!
How ugly her head, the bald chola,Que fea su cabza, la chola pelada,
she has no shame, the bald cholano tiene verguenza, la chola pelada

She went on a trip, I saw her in AlaskaSe fue de paseo, la mire en Alaska
she was so cold she didn't wear a jacket,tenia tanto frio no llevo chamarra,
poor chola was all wrinkledpobresita chola andaba arrugada
from the cold she had, the bald choladel frio que tenia la chola pelada

She liked to drink, party around,Le gustaba el pisto, andar de parranda,
walking the streets was her favorite thingandar en la calle eso le encantaba
but in the mornings she felt really bad,pero en las mañanas se ponia muy mala,
headaches almost killed herdolor de cabeza casi la mataba

Poor chola, the bald cholaPobresita chola, la chola pelada
such a hangover hit her in the morningsemejante cruda le entro en la mañana
she rubbed her forehead with an ointment,se sobo la frente con una pomada,
ended up the chola all vomitedtermino la chola toda vomitada

Don't drink anymore, everyone told her,Ya no tomes chola, todos le decian,
it will make you sick and she laughedte va a enferma y ella se reia
from pillar to post she spent her lifey del tingo al tango se paso la vida
and an illness ended her in 3 daysy una enfermedad la acabo en 3 dias

she didn't get up, she stayed stiff and hard,ya no se paro quedo tieza y dura,
she wanted to eat but couldn't,queria comer pero no podia,
even if the finest hand touched her,aunque la tocara la mano mas fina,
she didn't react, who would have thoughtya no reacciono quien lo pensaria

The chola died, the bald cholaSe murio la chola, la chola pelada
everyone cried at her last stoptodos le lloraron su ultima parada
which was in the cemetery where they buried herque fue en el panteon donde la enterraban
in a cold hole she was buried,en un frio agujero quedo sepultada,
Our chola is gone, the bald chola.Se nos fue la chola, la chola pelada.

You're leaving my chola, you're about to leave..Te vas chola mia, ya vas a partir..
