Gran Lady
Patricio Rey y Sus Redonditos de Ricota
Great Lady
I came to trade a red vulcan
And there I met,
In a border dive
Strolling in Spanglish.
Great lady!
Lionel Richie at the 'Princess Bar'
Sounded dreamy
And the great lady was getting a tattoo
In a warm hammock under the sun.
Great lady!
Everything 'pretty and cheap'
Top brand t-shirts
Broken lottery tickets
Scattered across the hall.
The great lady caresses you and doesn't kiss, oh! no...
(it's a very cruel moment of beauty)
Look at your luck in the cowries,
They never fulfill their promises,
Wipe the salt off your cheeks, happy.
Cardboard walls, a luxury
And the sensual miracle
Of gringa ghost women
And stunning brunettes.
Great lady!
Bottles of red Johnnie
Black Johnnie and rum
And cachaça, crazy maiden
That soothes your pain.
Great lady!
