There's some seriously powerful stuff to be found in their music: spidery piano lines, tight polyrythms, explosive brass riffs, staccato cowbell patterns and impossibly nasal choruses that are just hard to resist. Sonora Carruseles plays a moving tribute to the spirit of old hard-core salsa while at the same time revamping this nearly forgotten classical style.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lola,
Con tu indiferencia
A mi corazón
Lo vas a matar
Sabes muy bien que se está muriendo por ti,
Sin tu querer se que dejará de latir

Lola,
Ay lolita lola,
Conmigo vas a acabar
Ave maria lola,
Conmigo vas a acabar,

Ay mira, mira lola, lola lolita,
Conmigo lola vas a acabar

Ave maria lola
Desde que te estoy tratando
Vivo mi vida sufriendo
Desde que te estoy tratando
Vivo mi vida sufriendo
Porqué tengo un sentimiento
Que ya en el hueso
Me estoy quedando

Ave maria lola,
Conmigo vas a acabar
Ay mira, mira lola, lola lolita,
Conmigo lola vas a acabar

Ave maria lola,
Conmigo vas a acabar

Cuando te miro yo veo
Que tú la espalda me das
Cuando te miro yo veo
Que tú la espalda me das
Si lo haces porque soy feo
La culpa de ello la tiene papá

Ave maria lola,
Conmigo vas a acabar
Ay mira, mira lola, lola lolita,
Conmigo lola vas a acabar

Ave maria lola,
Conmigo vas a acabar

A ti que te gusta mucho
A mi que me vuelve loco
Y a ti que te gusta mucho
Y a mi que me vuelve loco
Te pusiste el riqui riqui
Para romperme lolita el coco

Ave maria lola,
Conmigo vas a acabar
Ay mira, mira, mira, lola lolita,
Conmigo lola vas a acabar

Ave maria lola,
Conmigo vas a acabar

Cuando te miro yo veo
Ave maria lola, lola, lolita
Dime que quieres de mi
Ave maria lola, lola, lolita
Si ya todo te lo dí
Ave maria lola, lola, lolita
Tengo un sentimiento
Que me está matando
Ave maria lola, lola, lolita

Ave maria,
Ave maria, lola
Ave maria,
Ave maria, lola

Ave maria lola,
Conmigo vas a acabar
