Una copla pa la Lola
Pasión Vega Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

De la Lola, la gente murmura
Verdades oscuras de tiempo atras:
Que si vino una vez un marinero
Que con sus te quiero la fue a enamorar
Que si todas las noches sin luna
Rondaba su alcoba por la madruga
Y la Lola sus carnes hambrientas
Saciaba en la puerta, abierta en par en par.

Que lo mismo que aquel hombre
Mucho mas la pretendian
Y tuvo que huir la Lola
Llevando negra la honra
Y el vientre lleno de vida.
Y aunque hay veces que
Quisiera a la gente pregonarle....
Para guardar su memoria
Prefiero callar su historia
Y de la Lola que ni me hablen
Que ni me hablen.

Lo mismito que a la Magdalena
Le tiraron piedras el dia que se fue
Arrastrando como unica pena
La de ser mas hembra que cualquier mujer.
Yo no se, lo que tiene la Lola
Porque por su boca nunca dijo na
Pero se bien el fin de su historia
Y con mi silencio la pienso enterrar
La pienso enterrar.

Que lo mismo que aquel hombre
Mucho mas la pretendian
Y tuvo que huir la Lola
Llevando negra la honra
Y el vientre lleno de vida.
Y aunque hay veces que
Quisiera a la gente pregonarle....
Que mientras la tuve viva
Fue la Lola mi fatiga
La mas Loba y la mas madre.





De la Lola ni me hablen

Overall Meaning

The song "Una copla pa la Lola" by Pasión Vega talks about Lola, a woman about whom people gossip and spread dark truths about her past. According to the lyrics, a sailor came once to seduce her with his "I love you's," and every night without the moon, he would come around her bedroom in the middle of the night. Lola would satisfy her hungry flesh with him as the door was wide open. However, this man was not the only one who wanted her, and she had to leave with a reputation that was "black" and a belly full of life. The song implies that Lola was pregnant, and she left to escape from the criticism and to protect her child. The singer knows the true story of Lola, but she chooses to keep it secret and bury it with her silence.


The song draws a parallel between Lola and Mary Magdalene, who was stoned when she left. The singer acknowledges that she does not know what Lola was like as a person, but she understands the end of her story. The singer also declares that Lola was her fatigue, the most wolfish and the most mother of them all. The singer shows deep empathy for Lola's traumatic experience and seeks to honor her memory with her song.
