Lady Olé
Chico y Chica Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

mallas de danza, blusa de vieja
y sandalias en invierno
y no eres inglesa,
podrias ser galesa.
ojos azules, boca pequeña
y pelo peluca
y no eres francesa,
podrias ser flamenca.

seas de donde seas
llamas la atencion por cosas
que llevas puestas.
andas corriendo, duermes la siesta
a horario tinerfeño.
pa no ser de españa
pareces extremeña
montas la bulla, siempre te quejas
y pones reclamaciones
y no eres pija
pero tienes pinta
seas de donde seas
siempre compras en las tiendas
que traen de fuera
s'il vous plait. alles klar. lady olé.
aguántala, lo pillas todo.
mary jo, jocelin,
lina mor, florinda chic.

bragas pequeñas tirando a tanga y
te gusta achicharrarte.
y no eres noruega,
podrias ser ibicenca.
andas en bici, no llevas suje
y los nikis te quedan cortos
y no eres honkongnesa,
podrias ser limeña
vengas de donde vengas
la gente se queda con tu aire
de extrangera.
s'il vous plait. un, deux, trois. lady olé.
aguántala, lo pillas todo.

vengas de donde vengas
tienes cosas de paleta y
de sinverguenza.
sil vous plait. alles klar. lady olé.
aguántala, lo pillas todo.
c'est comme ça. master class.
ewing oil. saber fuar.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lady Olé by Chico y Chica depict a woman who stands out from the crowd in various ways. The first verse describes how she wears dance tights, an old blouse, and sandals in winter, and doesn't look English but could be from Wales. She has blue eyes, a small mouth, and wears a wig, but doesn't look French and could be a flamenco dancer. The chorus emphasizes that wherever she comes from, people notice her for what she wears and her unique style. She runs around and takes naps on a Tenerife schedule and has a tendency to complain and put in complaints. She's not "pija" (a Spanish term for posh) but still dresses fashionably and buys clothes from shops that import from abroad.

The second verse continues to describe the woman's unique qualities. She wears tiny underwear that almost resembles a thong and likes to tan. She rides a bike without a bra, and wears Nike clothing that's too small for her, but doesn't look like she's from Hong Kong and could be from Lima. The chorus repeats the message that it doesn't matter where she comes from, people will always notice her because of her unconventional appearance. The final lines mention various names, including Quincy Jones and Whitney Houston, and imply that the woman is akin to them for standing out in their respective fields.
