Lyrics
Mató a su primer hombre antes de los dieciseis.
El orgullo de la familia: podían confiar en él.
Diez años a la sombra
no le robaron su fe.
Billy voló hacia cuba en el verano del 56.
Dejó atrás nevada, donde cambias un dólar por diez.
Billy la rocca
acariciaba el poder.
Un daiquiri en floridita
al ritmo de benny moré.
Y en eso se fue batista,
y en eso llegó fidel.
Pánico en la embajada: los dados no rodaban bien.
Sin amigos en la habana, el dinero era sólo papel.
Abandonado a su suerte,
nadie apostó por él.
(ciao, bambino…).
El daiquiri en floridita
no es el del 56.
Miami sigue a la vista
y aquí en cuba sigue fidel…
Al son del tocadiscos recuerda el tiempo que no fue,
las noches en los casinos y las damas con charmé.
Billy la rocca
nunca pudo volver.
Billy voló hacia cuba en el verano del 56.
Miami sigue a la vista y en cuba sigue fidel…
Billy la rocca, nunca pudo volver
Billy la rocca, nunca pudo volver
Billy la rocca
arriverdeci. Billy la rocca…
nunca pudo volver
Lyrics translation
He killed his first man before he was sixteen.
The pride of the family: they could trust him.
Ten years in the shade
they didn't steal his faith.
Billy flew to cuba in the summer of ' 56.
He left nevada behind, where you exchange a dollar for ten.
Billy The Rock
he caressed the power.
A daiquiri in floridita
to the beat of benny moré.
And in that went batista,
and that's where fidel came in.
Panic at the embassy: the dice did not roll well.
No friends in Havana, money was just paper.
Abandoned to their fate,
nobody bet on him.
(Hello, child...).
The daiquiri in floridita
it's not the ' 56.
Miami still in sight
and here in cuba remains fidel…
To the sound of the turntable remember the time that was not,
the nights at the casinos and the ladies with Charme.
Billy The Rock
he never made it back.
Billy flew to cuba in the summer of ' 56.
Miami still in sight and Cuba still fidel…
Billy The Rock, he never made it back.
Billy The Rock, he never made it back.
Billy The Rock
get there. Billy The Rock…
he never got back.
