Lyrics

Ella es de La Habana, él de Nueva York
Ella baila en tropicana, a él le gusta el rock
Ella vende besos en un burdel
Mientras el se gradua en U.C.L.A
Ella es medio Marxista, él es Republicano
Ella quiere ser artista, él odia a los Cubanos
El cree en la Estatua de la Libertad
Y ella en su vieja Habana de la Soledad
El ha comido hamburguesas
Ella moros con crisitanos
El, el champagne con sus fresas
Ella un mojito Cubano
Ella se fue de gira a Yucatán
Y el de vacaciones al mismo lugar
Mulata hasta los pies, el rubio como el sol
Ella no habla Inglés y el menos Español
El fue a tomar un trago sin sospechar
Que iba a encontrar el amor en aquél lugar
Lo que las ideologías dividen al hombre
El amor con sus hilos los une en su nombre
Ella mueve su cintura al ritmo de un tan tan
Y él se va divorciando del Tio Sam
El se refugia en su piel… la quiere para él
Y ella se va olvidando de Fidel
Que sabian Lenin y Lincoln del amor?
Que saben Fidel y Clinton del amor?
Ella se sienta en su mesa, el tiembla de la emoción
Ella se llama Teresa y el se llama John
Ella dice hola chico, el contesta hello
A ella no le para el pico, el dice speak slow
El se guardo su bandera, ella olvidó los conflictos
El encontro la manera de que el amor salga invicto
La tomó de la mano y se la llevó
El Yanqui de la Cubana se enamoró
Lo que las ideologías dividen al hombre
El amor con sus hilos los une en su nombre
Ella mueve su cintura al ritmo de un tan tan
Y el se va divorciando del Tio Sam
El se refugia en su piel… la quiere para el
Y ella se va olvidando de Fidel
Que sabian Lenin y Lincoln del amor
Que saben Fidel y Clinton del amor
Ahora viven en Paris
Buscaron tierra neutral
Ella logro ser actriz, el es un tipo normal
Caminan de la mano, calle Campos Eliseos
Como quien se burla del planeta y sus vicios

Lyrics translation

She's from Havana, he's from New York
She dances in tropicana, he likes rock
She sells kisses in a brothel
While he's graduating from U. C. L. A.
She's half Marxist, he's 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's had burgers.
She moors with crisitanos
The, the champagne with its strawberries
She's a Cuban mojito.
She went on tour to Yucatan
And the vacation to the same place
Mulatto to the feet, blond as the sun
She doesn't speak English and the least Spanish
He went for a drink without suspecting
That I would find love in that place
What ideologies divide man
Love with its threads unites them in his name
She moves her waist to the rhythm of a so so
And he's divorcing Uncle Sam.
He takes refuge in his skin ... he wants it for himself
And she forgets about Fidel
What did Lenin and Lincoln know about love?
What do Fidel and Clinton know about love?
She sits at his table, trembling with emotion
She's called Teresa and he's called John
She says hello boy, he answers hello
She doesn't stop him, he says speak slow
He kept his flag, she forgot the conflicts
He found a way for love to go undefeated
He took her by the hand and took her away
The Cuban Yankee fell in love
What ideologies divide man
Love with its threads unites them in his name
She moves her waist to the rhythm of a so so
And he's divorcing Uncle Sam.
He takes refuge in his skin ... he wants it for him
And she forgets about Fidel
That Lenin and Lincoln knew of love
That Fidel and Clinton know of love
Now they live in Paris
They searched for neutral ground.
She managed to be an actress, he's a normal guy
They walk hand in hand, Campos Eliseos Street
As one who mocks the planet and its vices
