Author, multi-instrumentalist and self-taught composer, her music has become a blend of different sounds: pop-music, bossa nova, flamenco guitars, rumba, toy instruments…, a spectrum of sounds that she gathers and mixes at the same time that she may be considered a pioneer at singing in four different languages (English, French, Spanish and caló – a gipsy language) and combining diverse musical influences, which have developed into her own singular, minimalist style with her smooth, whispering voice as a personal trademark.

Loli-Lolita
Cathy Claret Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

La luna ya se fue
Al alba me senti
Morir de soledad
Entonces me acorde
De ti y de tu bondad
Se puso a llover
Mi corazon se quema
Cuando la noche llega

Es tan oscuro tu mirar
Como profunda es la mar
Ay Loli-Lolita
Tu fuiste mi amiga
Mi vida
Mi idea feliz
Las penas de amores
Te llevan bien lejos
Llorando llorando por ti
La luna ya se fue
No tengo nada mas
La lluvia de cristal
Tus lagrimas de ayer
El collar que te di
Al alba se perdio
Mi corazon se quema
Mi corazon te diera
Feliz te vas a caminar
Sobre las olas de la mar
Ay Loli-Lolita
Mi vida es un sueño contigo
La noche sin ti
Amiga Lolita te quiero te quiero
Y ya nunca te olvidare

Mi corazon se quema
Cuando la noche llega
Es tan oscuro tu mirar
Como profunda es la mar

Ay Loli-Lolita
Tu fuiste mi amiga
Mi vida
Mi idea feliz
Las penas de amores
Te llevan bien lejos
Llorando llorando por ti
Ay Loli-Lolita
Tu fuiste mi amiga
Mi vida
Mi idea feliz
Las penas de amores

Te llevan bien lejos
Llorando llorando por ti

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cathy Claret's song Loli-Lolita convey a deep sense of loneliness and heartache. The singer reminisces about a special someone, named Loli-Lolita, who was once her friend, life and happy thought. The verses depict the singer feeling overwhelmed by solitude and then thinking of Loli-Lolita's kindness and generosity. As it starts to rain, the singer's heart burns with a longing for her lost companion, who had such a deep and unfulfilled gaze like the vast and profound ocean.

The chorus "Ay Loli-Lolita" is a lamentation for the loss of the special friend that had once filled her life with joy and meaning. The collar given to Loli-Lolita is now lost forever, together with the tears she shed yesterday. The singer tries to find solace in the idea that her friend is happily walking upon the waves of the sea, while she is left behind to mourn and cry. The repetition of the chorus in the end emphasises the depth of affection and the irremediable loss felt by the singer.
