Lyrics
Con una bata de cola
llena de estrellas muy blancas
canta en mitad de los cielos
Lola, mi amiga, mi hermana
Un día la vio San Pedro
se le ocurrió contratarla
para que fuera maestra
de flamenco y sevillana
Con una bata de cola
llena de estrellas muy blancas
canta en mitad de los cielos
Lola, mi amiga, mi hermana
Un día la vio San Pedro
se le ocurrió contratarla
para que fuera maestra
de flamenco y sevillana
Y todas las noches de luna
con peineta y castañuelas
da clase a los angelitos
en su celestial escuela
Sus tablaos son las nubes
y hacen palmas las estrellas
María que ya no aguanta
sale a bailar con ella
Baila le reina del cielo
junto a la reina gitana
baila le reina del cielo
junto a la reina gitana
(Lola, gitana)
(Lola, mi amiga, mi hermana)
la algarabía del cielo
ya se escucha en toda España
(Lola, gitana)
(Lola, mi amiga, mi hermana)
gitana tenía que ser
gritan San Pedro y San José
(Lola, gitana)
(Lola, mi amiga, mi hermana)
Santa Bárbara deja la espada
y baila con Lola mi salsa gitana
(Lola, gitana)
(Lola, mi amiga, mi hermana)
baila la reina del cielo
junto a la reina gitana
(Lola, gitana)
(Lola, mi amiga, mi hermana)
(Vengo a cantar mi salsa gitana pa' Lola Flores)
ay, pena, pena, pena, penita
fiesta en el cielo, duelo en la Tierra y olé!
(Vengo a cantar mi salsa gitana pa' Lola Flores)
Flores de Antonio y de Lolita
de su hermana Carmen y de Rosario su hijita
(Vengo a cantar mi salsa gitana pa' Lola Flores)
a, faraona hoy te extrañamos
pero tu pueblo y el mundo entero te amamos
(Vengo a cantar mi salsa gitana pa' Lola Flores)
por siempre tendrás un sitio en el fondo de mi alma,
te lo dice Celia Cruz tu hermana cubana
(Lola, gitana)
(Lola, mi amiga, mi hermana)
Lola, mi amiga, mi hermana
Lola, mi hermana gitana
(Lola, gitana)
(Lola, mi amiga, mi hermana)
fuiste mi guía, fuiste mi hermana
tú me ayudaste en tu bella España
(Lola, gitana)
(Lola, mi amiga, mi hermana)
que tiene la zarzamora que a todas horas
llora, que llora a Lola
Lyrics translation
With a tail coat
full of very white stars
sing in the middle of heaven
Lola, my friend, my sister
One Day St. Peter saw her
he thought of hiring her.
to be a teacher
flamenco and sevillana
With a tail coat
full of very white stars
sing in the middle of heaven
Lola, my friend, my sister
One Day St. Peter saw her
he thought of hiring her.
to be a teacher
flamenco and sevillana
And every night of the moon
with comb and castanets
give class to the little angels
in his heavenly school
Your tables are the clouds
and the stars clap
Mary who can't take it anymore
he goes dancing with her
Dance the Queen Of Heaven
next to the Gypsy Queen
dance the Queen Of Heaven
next to the Gypsy Queen
(Lola, Gypsy)
(Lola, my friend, my sister)
the hustle and bustle of the sky
you can hear it all over Spain
(Lola, Gypsy)
(Lola, my friend, my sister)
Gypsy had to be
St. Peter and St. Joseph shout
(Lola, Gypsy)
(Lola, my friend, my sister)
Saint Barbara leaves the sword
and dance with Lola my Gypsy sauce
(Lola, Gypsy)
(Lola, my friend, my sister)
dance the Queen Of Heaven
next to the Gypsy Queen
(Lola, Gypsy)
(Lola, my friend, my sister)
(I come to sing My Gypsy sauce pa ' Lola Flores)
Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
feast in heaven, duel on Earth and smell!
(I come to sing My Gypsy sauce pa ' Lola Flores)
Antonio and Lolita flowers
of his sister Carmen and of Rosario his little daughter
(I come to sing My Gypsy sauce pa ' Lola Flores)
a, pharaoh today we miss you
but your people and the whole world love you
(I come to sing My Gypsy sauce pa ' Lola Flores)
you'll always have a place in the back of my soul,
Celia Cruz your Cuban sister tells you
(Lola, Gypsy)
(Lola, my friend, my sister)
Lola, my friend, my sister
Lola, my Gypsy sister
(Lola, Gypsy)
(Lola, my friend, my sister)
you were my guide, you were my sister
you helped me in your beautiful Spain
(Lola, Gypsy)
(Lola, my friend, my sister)
who has the BlackBerry that at all hours
crying, crying to Lola
