Song lyrics Head Held High by The Velvet Underground

Mama told me, ever since I was seven,
Hold your head up high.
My parents told me, ever since I was eleven,
Hold your head up high.
They said the answer was to become a dancer,
Hold your head high.
Oh, just like I figured, they're always disfigured
With their heads up high.

Now I'm older, I'm getting so much bolder
With my head up high
Oh, as I figured, just like I figured
Since your head's up high, baby.
Oh, just like I figured,
You know, they was disfigured
Hold your head up high.
You know, they says the answer was to become a dancer
Hold your head high, boy.

Ever since I was a baby on my mama's knee,
Oh, just listened to what everybody told me,
Oh yes I did. But still the answer was to become a dancer,
And hold your head high,
But, just like I figured, they're always disfigured,
They hold their heads up high, Watch out!

Yeah! Do the dog! Oh, watch out!

And now I'm older, they say I'm so much bolder
Got your head up high.
Oh, and the answer was, hey, to become a dancer,
Head up high.
Well, but just like I figured, they're always disfigured
They got their heads up high.
But the answer was, now, boy, to become a dancer
With your head up high

Head up high,
Head up high...
LA CABEZA ALTA
Mi mamá me dijo
cuando cumplí los siete años
Lleva la cabeza alta
Mis padres me dijeron
cuando cumplí los once
Lleva la cabeza alta
Decían que era lo mejor para llegar
a ser bailarín
Lleva la cabeza alta
Como me imaginaba
estaban todos desfigurados
Y llevaban la cabeza alta
Ahora soy mayor
me estoy haciendo mucho mas viejo
Con mi cabeza alta

Oh como me imaginaba,
justo como imaginaba
Desde que llevas la cabeza alta nene
Como me imaginaba
estaban desfigurados
Llevaban la cabeza alta
Decían que la respuesta era
llegar a ser bailarín
Lleva la cabeza alta, chico

Desde que era un bebe en el regazo de mi madre
Escuché lo que todos me decían
Pero la solución siempre era llegar
a ser bailarín
Hey, lleva la cabeza alta
Como me imaginaba
estaban todos desfigurados
Y llevaban la cabeza alta

Hey, ahora que soy mayor
dicen que soy mucho más jugado
Llevas la cabeza alta
Oh, la solución era
convertirse en un bailarín
La cabeza alta
Como me imaginaba
estaban todos desfigurados
Llevaban Cabeza bien alta
Pero la solución siempre era
convertirse en bailarín
Oye, lleva la cabeza alta
