Their family moved to Barranquilla when they were little, and at the age of 5 and 6 they began guitar lessons. They were granddaughters of Spanish tenor Miguel Fleta, whose daughters Elia y Paloma Fleta also formed a duo, which achieved fame in the fifties, and their mother's parents sang and their grandmother played the piano. As teenagers they moved to Lima, Perú, and in 1971 recorded a single in Spain, where their father had moved briefly, arranged by Juan Carlos Calderón. Back to Colombia, they recorded in the early seventies two LPs for Codiscos label, whose songs "Hay que vivir la vida", "Mis 32 dientes" and "Alegría" became hits. They didn't make a career in pop music, and their activity lasted for only three years. Elia belongs to the congregation of Teresianas de Poveda, traveling and living in many places, while Elizabeth was married.

Quiero zambullirme entre la hierba
Quiero confundirme con la luz del sol
Quiero sonreírme con mis 32 dientes
Quiero ser hermana de la creación

Quiero ser una montaña (uh-uh, uh-uh)
Para estar cerca del sol
Quiero ser una montaña (uh-uh, uh-uh)
Para estar cerca del sol

Uh-uh, uh
Quiero sentir amor
Uh-uh, uh
Late mi corazón
Uh-uh, uh
Quiero sentir amor
Uh-uh, uh
Late mi corazón

Shala, la-la, ouh-ouh, oh
Shala, la-la, eh
Shala, la-la, ouh-ouh, oh
Shala, la-la

Quiero ser naranja de la frutería
Quiero ser el viento que le cante al sol
Quiero ser la lluvia que bañe la tierra
Quiero ser la tierra del labrador

Quiero ser una montaña (uh-uh, uh-uh)
Para estar cerca del sol
Quiero ser una montaña (uh-uh, uh-uh)
Para estar cerca del sol

Uh-uh, uh
Quiero sentir amor
Uh-uh, uh
Late mi corazón
Uh-uh, uh
Quiero sentir amor
Uh-uh, uh
Late mi corazón

Shala, la-la, ouh-ouh, oh
Shala, la-la, eh
Shala, la-la, ouh-ouh, oh
Shala, la-la

Shala, la-la, ouh-ouh, oh
Shala, la-la, eh




Shala, la-la, ouh-ouh, oh
Shala, la-la

Que recuerdos, porque de los 32 quedan 26. Letras sin vulgaridades, sin ofender a nadien, todo sano. Buenísimo.

Cuando salió ésta canción, estaba en la época en que se me estaban cayendo los dientes de leche y me iban naciendo los permanentes.
Los que nos acompañaran por el resto de la vida.
Han pasado los años y ésta canción sigue sonando muy bien.
Solo que esos dientes que creía permanentes y que me acompañarían por el resto de mi vida, también se han ido ya.
Ahora me acompañan los que me coloco el odontólogo en unos implantes.
Éstos dientes se que también se irán, cuando me vaya yo.
Pero ésta canción seguirá y seguirá sonando tan bella y bonita como desde ese día en que la escuché por vez primera.
Si, cuando aún tenía mis dientes de leche.
