Doña Lelé
Willie Colón
Doña Lelé
Doña Lelé has no house, her roof
is that bridge, the street is her balcony.
Doña Lelé goes out in the early morning
along the paths to greet the sun.
Doña Lelé, they call her crazy
but no one knows or understands her passion.
Lelé, Lelé, what was it that stole your reason?
Lelé, Lelé, I want to know where your heart went.
Doña Lelé talks to the flowers,
she tells them her secrets, she sings her pain.
Doña Lelé to the doves
offers them a party in all its splendor.
Doña Lelé along the path
decorates with garlands cardboard dolls.
Lelé, Lelé, what was it...
Doña Lelé has nothing
but she has everything, her world and her illusion.
Doña Lelé, what they say
is because they don't know life and its value.
Doña Lelé, don't pay attention
because they are sane and don't know about love.
Lelé, Lelé, what was it...
