Allan Theo - Lola
===================
On peut pas vraiment parler de bon-sens
Davoir voulu partager avec toi
Mais comment ne pas perdre mes repres
Alors que soir et matin devant moi
Tu passes en tenues lgres?
Mes parents
Chaque fois me demandent pourquoi je choisis le clibat.
Mes frangins
Chaque fois se lamentent pour moi qui nai personne sous mon toit...
Oublie tout, ne rve pas
Mais regarde autour de toi
Les gens ne vivent pas comme a
Lola
Tu nas pas vraiment lair davoir conscience
Quil te faudra un jour faire le bon choix:
Enfin prendre en main ton existence.
Je ne construirai rien de mon avenir
Dans tes draps de soie
Mais je te dois tous mes sourires...
Mes amis
Chaque soir se demandent pourquoi je ne sors jamais de chez moi
Mes voisins
Chaque fois se plaignent quil y a toutes les nuits trop de fracas...
Lolita tienes que entender
Que no puedo quedarme en la cama al amanecer
Quieres gozar pero tienes que comprender
Que no puedo passarla bien si no me voy a trabajar
Lolita mi amor dejame me quiero escapar
Lolita por favor dejame para de s o- nar
Lolita mi amor si pudieras empezar
Una vida real, tedoy la se n- al.
The song Lola by Allan Théo is about a love affair that the singer had with a woman named Lola whom he met on vacation. The lyrics express the singer's conflicted emotions about the affair. He acknowledges that it was more than just a fling, but he also realizes that it was not a wise or practical decision to pursue a relationship with someone who lives far away from him and who he only knew for a short amount of time. He describes how he is struggling to maintain his sense of direction because he is distracted by Lola, who is always wearing revealing clothing in front of him, making it hard for him to focus on anything else.
The song portrays the reactions of those around him, including his family, who question his decision to stay single, and his neighbors and friends who are annoyed by the noise he makes because of his relationship with Lola. However, despite these factors, he cannot help but feel a fondness for Lola - who he owes all his smiles- while knowing that a relationship with her cannot lead to a stable future. He implores her to understand that he cannot stay in bed with her all day and that she needs to make the right decision for her future as well, though he acknowledges his own inability to focus on his own future without her.
