Lola letra

Lola
Was the smartest in the school, she was a supernova
She had a mind beyond her time, it was a thrill to know her
She had dreams she'd fall in love, some place like Barcelona
Lola, Lola, Lola

She coulda walked on the moon, yeah
She coulda found us a cure
But family didn't have no food and
She had to leave school to work

Nobody breaks the ceiling
Nobody where she's from
Nobody breaks the ceiling, yeah

Nobody's listening, so she won't speak, won't speak
All of thosе dreams are fading slowly, slowly
She knows thе stories 'bout the police, police
It's just the way it is, so don't speak, don't speak

Lola
She believed the world they promised her, but now she's older
She's seen the people disagree and disappear
The power's out for days, no food is on its way
Nothing changes, this ain't the dream they sold us
Lola, Lola, Lola

She coulda walked on the moon, yeah
Coulda found us a cure
But she worried about her children
Ninety miles 'til the shore

Nobody breaks the ceiling
Nobody where she's from
Nobody breaks the ceiling, yeah, nobody

Nobody's listening, so she won't speak, won't speak
All of those dreams are fading slowly, slowly
She knows the stories 'bout the police, police
It's just the way it is, so don't speak, don't speak

Se pone bien bonita
Como lista pa' un desfile
Le prometieron ser la
Reina del Caribe

Pero alguien le cambió
El guión de cine
Y comenzar de nuevo
Solo pide

Del bajo mundo ella proviene
Cuanto vales cuanto tienes
Ese es el precio de mi Lola
Cuando no hay salida
Quiere libertad
Quiere patria y vida

Nobody's listening, so she won't speak, won't speak
All of those dreams are fading slowly, slowly
She knows the stories 'bout the police, police
It's just the way it is, so don't speak, don't speak

Quiso sacarse el dolor
Matando su corazón
Ella soñaba volar
Pero el avión nunca

Despegó
Cuanto sufre el paso
Del tiempo y siempre sola
En mi Habana cuantas
Llaman Lola
