Lucía, la corista
Cafe Quijano
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)
