Translation of the song lyrics Lucía la corista - Cafe Quijano

Lucía la corista (original)

Su padre es vago, su medre es santa y ella la que canta;
En la familia, el único listo, su hermano Francisco
Becado en Holanda, y allí vive con una holandesa
De padre belga y madre danesa
Lucía es la corista de una orquesta de poca monta
Aunque ni canta ni es artista, pero nadie se lo nota
Y qué carisma tiene Lucía
Si nunca tuvo ni un buen desnudo
¡quién lo diría!
Y toca el límite de lo decente
Se peina y siente como una diva en los años veinte
A ella, que no lo niega, le pone de buen humor el ron
De ahí, que alguna vez, sin razón aparente
Se caiga de repente
Y es que su padre, aparte de vago, pasó las tardes
De trago en trago
Hay días que no va por casa, pudiera ser que tuviera una gala
Su madre calla, su padre no habla
Porque la niña es la que canta
Y qué carisma tiene Lucía
Si nunca tuvo ni un buen desnudo
¡quién lo diría!
Y toca el límite de lo decente
Se peina y siente como una diva en los años veinte
Y qué carisma tiene…

(translation)

Her father is lazy, her mother is a saint and she is the one who sings;
In the family, the only smart one, her brother Francisco
Scholarship in Holland, and there he lives with a Dutch
Born to a Belgian father and a Danish mother
Lucía is the chorister of a small-time orchestra
She, although she neither sings nor is an artist, but nobody notices it
And what charisma Lucia has
If she never had a good nude
who'd say!
And she touches the limit of decent
She combs her hair and feels like a diva in the twenties
She, who does not deny it, puts her in a good mood with rum
Hence, sometimes, for no apparent reason
suddenly fall down
And it is that her father, apart from being lazy, spent the afternoons
From drink to drink
There are days that he does not go home, it could be that he had a gala
His mother is silent about him, his father does not speak about him
Because the girl is the one who sings
And what charisma Lucia has
If she never had a good nude
who'd say!
And she touches the limit of decent
She combs her hair and feels like a diva in the twenties
And what charisma she has...
