Lola (feat. Yotuel)

Lola was the smartest in the school
She was a supernova
She had a mind beyond her time
It was a thrill to know her

She had dreams
She'd fall in love some place like Barcelona
Lola, Lola, Lola, Lola

She could've walked on the Moon, yeah
She could've found us a cure
But family didn't have no food
And she had to leave school to work

Nobody breaks the ceiling
Nobody where she's from
Nobody breaks the ceiling, yeah

Nobody's listening
So she won't speak, won't speak
All of those dreams are fading slowly, slowly
She knows the stories 'bout the police, police
It's just the way it is
So don't speak, don't speak

Lola
She believed the world they promised her, but now she's older
She's seen the people disagree and disappear
The power's out for days, no food is on its way
Nothing changes, this ain't the dream they sold us
Lola, Lola, Lola

She could've walked on the Moon, yeah
Could've found us a cure
But she worried 'bout her children
Ninety miles till the shore

Nobody breaks the ceiling
Nobody where she's from
Nobody breaks the ceiling, yeah
Nobody

Nobody's listening
So she won't speak, won't speak
All of those dreams are fading slowly, slowly
She knows the stories 'bout the police, police
It's just the way it is
So don't speak, don't speak

Se pone bien bonita
Como lista pa' un desfile
Le prometieron ser la Reina del Caribe
Pero alguien le cambió el guión de cine
Y comenzar de nuevo, solo pide

Del bajo mundo ella proviene
¿Cuánto vales? ¿Cuánto tienes?
Ese es el precio de mi Lola
Cuando no hay salida
Quiere libertad, quiere patria y vida

Nobody's listening
So she won't speak, won't speak
All of those dreams are fading slowly, slowly
She knows the stories 'bout the police, police
It's just the way it is
So don't speak, don't speak

Quiso sacarse el dolor matando a su corazón
Ella soñaba volar, pero el avión nunca despegó
Cuanto sufre el paso del tiempo y siempre sola
¿En mi Havana, cuantas Lola's?
