Lola Sí

Lola not from the Machados
Carmen not from Mérimée
Lola yes from the tablaos
With her how and her why

I am the one who unravels
Friendly and popular
I sing the same to the king of Spain
As to the poorest in the place

Ole, ole, ole and Holland
Wherever I go, I have charm
And they carry me on their shoulders
Just like a bullfighter

Ole, ole, ole and Holland
Wherever I go, I am different
And they paint the railings
When I pass by the bridge

And although time brings leaks
I am like good sherry
Each year more vintage
The longer, the more bouquet
Each year more vintage
Lola yes, lola and ole

Lola not for gossip
Lola not to speak in English
Lola yes for fun
Of a party and a knowledge

I am a carnation
Wrapped in a shawl
And in Madrid and in Argentina
I stir up the revolution

Ole, ole, ole and Holland
Wherever I go, I have charm
And they carry me on their shoulders
Just like a bullfighter

Ole, ole, ole and Holland
Wherever I go, I am different
And they paint the railings
When I pass by the bridge

And although time brings leaks
I am like good sherry
Each year more vintage
The longer, the more bouquet
Each year more vintage
Lola yes, lola and ole
