Ella y Él

She is from Havana, he is from New York
She dances tropicana, he likes rock
She sells kisses in a brothel
While he graduates from UCLA
She is half Marxist, he is a Republican
She wants to be an artist, he hates Cubans
He believes in the Statue of Liberty
And she in her old Havana of solitude
He has eaten hamburgers
She Moors with Christians
He the champagne with his strawberries
She a Cuban mojito
She went on tour to Yucatan
And he goes on vacation to the same place
Mulatto to the feet, he is blond as the sun
She doesn't speak English and he doesn't speak Spanish
He went to have a drink without suspecting
That I was going to find love in that place

What ideologies divide man
Love with its threads unites them in their name

She moves her waist to the rhythm of a tan tan
And he's getting divorced from Uncle Sam
He takes refuge in her skin, he wants her for himself
And she forgets about Fidel
What did Lenin and Lincoln know about love?
What do Fidel and Clinton know about love?

She sits at her table, he trembles with emotion
Her name is Teresa and his name is John
She says hello boy, he answers hello
She doesn't stop talking, he says speak slow
He kept his flag, she forgot the conflicts
He found a way for love to emerge undefeated
He took her by the hand and led her away
The Yankee fell in love with the Cuban

What ideologies divide man
Love with its threads unites them in their name

She moves her waist to the rhythm of a tan tan
And he's getting divorced from Uncle Sam
He takes refuge in her skin, he wants her for himself
And she forgets about Fidel
What did Lenin and Lincoln know about love?
What do Fidel and Clinton know about love?

Now living in Paris, they sought neutral ground
She managed to be an actress, he is a normal guy
They walk hand in hand down the Champs Elysees street
Like someone who makes fun of the planet and its vices
