Her Name Was Lola

Dolores Se Llamaba Lola

You were the girl in blueFuiste la niña de azul
In the convent schoolEl en colegio de monjas
Socks and pigtailsCalcetines y coletas
And you were crazy about PacoY estabas loca por Paco
Exams and summersExámenes y veranos
Holidays... And PacoVacaciones.. Y de Paco
Neither the memory of his shadowNi el recuerdo de su sombra
Nor the smell of his tobaccoNi el olor de su tabaco

You are Andres' girlEres la chica de Andrés
And you have been with so manyY has sido la de tantos
You are the modern girlEres la niña moderna
Who has never broken a plateQue nunca has roto un plato
Lola, daddy's girlLola, nena de papá
Doesn't work, just passes the timeNo trabaja pasa el rato
Bars, pubs, and discosBares, "Pubs" y discotecas
And so the years fly byY así vuelan los años

The turns life takesLas vueltas que da la vida
Destiny mocks youEl destino se burla de ti
Where are you going, lost bullet, whereDónde vas bala perdida, dónde
Are you sad for yourselfVas triste de ti
Where are you going, sad for yourselfDónde vas triste de ti

The good times are goneSe fueron los buenos tiempos
Youth has already escapedLa juventud ya se escapó
Dad died ruinedPapá ha muerto arruinado
The money vanishedEl dinero se esfumó
Poor!. He's on the street¡Pobre!. Se encuentra en la calle
Never knew how to do anythingNunca nada supo hacer
Now he burns his lifeAhora quema su vida
At the American bar from 7 to 3En barra americana de 7 a 3

Her name was LolaDolores se llamaba Lola
She walks the streets until 6"Hace la calle" hasta las 6
Because without money in this landPues sin dinero en esta tierra
Oh, Dolores! To the brothel¡Ay, Dolores! Al burdel
You were the girl in blueFuiste la niña de azul
Now you're the old greenAhora eres la vieja verde
How life behaves!¡Cómo se porta la vida!
When you're worth what you have!¡Cuando vales lo que tienes!

The turns life takesLas vueltas que da la vida
Destiny mocks youEl destino se burla de ti
Where are you going, lost bullet, whereDónde vas bala perdida, dónde
Are you sad for yourselfVas triste de ti
Where are you going, sad for yourselfDónde vas triste de ti
