Lyrics of Billy la rocca - Loquillo

Billy la rocca (original)

Mató a su primer hombre antes de los dieciseis.
El orgullo de la familia: podían confiar en él.
Diez años a la sombra
no le robaron su fe.
Billy voló hacia cuba en el verano del 56.
Dejó atrás nevada, donde cambias un dólar por diez.
Billy la rocca
acariciaba el poder.
Un daiquiri en floridita
al ritmo de benny moré.
Y en eso se fue batista,
y en eso llegó fidel.
Pánico en la embajada: los dados no rodaban bien.
Sin amigos en la habana, el dinero era sólo papel.
Abandonado a su suerte,
nadie apostó por él.
(ciao, bambino…).
El daiquiri en floridita
no es el del 56.
Miami sigue a la vista
y aquí en cuba sigue fidel…
Al son del tocadiscos recuerda el tiempo que no fue,
las noches en los casinos y las damas con charmé.
Billy la rocca
nunca pudo volver.
Billy voló hacia cuba en el verano del 56.
Miami sigue a la vista y en cuba sigue fidel…
Billy la rocca, nunca pudo volver
Billy la rocca, nunca pudo volver
Billy la rocca
arriverdeci.
Billy la rocca…
nunca pudo volver

(translation)

She killed her first man before she was sixteen.
The pride of the family: they could trust him.
ten years in the shade
they did not steal his faith from him.
Billy flew to Cuba in the summer of '56.
He left Nevada behind, where you trade a dollar for ten.
billy the rock
he cherished power.
A daiquiri in Floridita
to the rhythm of benny more.
And in that he left Batista,
and in that he arrived faithful.
Panic at the embassy: the dice were not rolling well.
With no friends in Havana, money was just paper.
Left to his own devices,
no one bet on him.
(bye, baby…).
The daiquiri in floridita
It's not the one from '56.
Miami still in sight
and here in Cuba he remains faithful...
To the sound of the record player remember the time that was not,
the nights in the casinos and the ladies with charmé.
billy the rock
he could never come back.
Billy flew to Cuba in the summer of '56.
Miami is still in sight and in Cuba it remains faithful...
Billy la rocca, he could never come back
Billy the rock, he could never come back
billy the rock
arrivederdeci.
Billy the rock…
could never come back
