Pobre Cristina [English translation]

She was a pauper, having nothing other than money

A trustfund set up by her shipbuilder tycoon daddy

Pel pills and booze, that's all she's gotten for breakfast

Poor little Christina, she finally got to be all skin and bones

I am the only one who knows she's being true,

whenever she says she would give up her money

For having a lame and conventional boyfriend

For being an apprentice at a hairdressing salon

Chris... Chris... Christina

She fantasises and yearns for being catcalled by a bricklayer

Chris... Chris... Christina

Can the bellboy go out and get her more of those sleeping pills?

Such a sweetheart, the summer regents are spoiling her

Winter, however, she cannot shake it off completely

She's such a dowager, having written off a couple of marriages already

But she's always so lonely, lightning candles for love

In a yacht from the Skorpios Island all the way to New York

Dinning at Maxim's after having attended the Rose Ball

Escorted out of her Rolls by her bodyguards

A kept man is already waiting for her at the suite.

Chris... Chris... Christina

She runs her business laying down at the Incosol Spa

Chris... Chris... Christina

Her bath robe she will never take off, even when she's all drenched with sweat

Many a man has tried to court her

The mirror is the only one willing to tell the truth to her face

No one has warned her, she isn't getting to Heaven on her limo

It's such a pity, the Grim Reaper isn't taking on gratuity

It would be better being daughter to a no-one

Than the apple of Aristotle's eyes

Living under his shadow is such a petty job

Look at him going out on safari in that reel

Chris... Chris... Christina

She fantasises and yearns for being catcalled by a bricklayer

Chris... Chris... Christina

Can the bellboy go out and get her more of those sleeping pills?

Chris... Chris... Christina

She runs her business laying down at the Incosol Spa

Chris... Chris... Christina

Her bath robe she will never take off, even when she's all drenched with sweat
