Ella y Él
Ricardo Arjona
She and He
She is from Havana, he is from New York
She dances to tropicana, he likes rock
She sells kisses in a brothel
While he graduates from UCLA
She is half Marxist, he is 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 eats moros with Christians
He, champagne with his strawberries
She, a Cuban mojito
She went on tour to Yucatan
And he on vacation to the same place
Mulatto to the feet, he blond as the sun
She doesn't speak English and he speaks less Spanish
He went for a drink without suspecting
That he would find love in that place
What ideologies divide among men
Love with its threads unites them in its name
She moves her waist to the rhythm of a tan tan
And he is divorcing from Uncle Sam
He takes refuge in her skin, he wants her for himself
And she is forgetting about Fidel
What did Lenin and Lincoln know about love
What do Fidel and Clinton know about love
She sits at his table, he trembles with emotion
She is called Teresa and he is called 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 remain undefeated
He took her hand and led her away
The Yankee fell in love with the Cuban
What ideologies divide among men
Love with its threads unites them in its name
She moves her waist to the rhythm of a tan tan
And he is divorcing from Uncle Sam
He takes refuge in her skin, he wants her for himself
And she is forgetting about Fidel
What did Lenin and Lincoln know about love
What do Fidel and Clinton know about love
Now they live in Paris, they found neutral ground
She managed to be an actress, he is a normal guy
They walk hand in hand, on the Champs-Elysees
As if mocking the planet and its vices
