Break Line in a Kivy Label doesn't work (Python)

I'm trying to add a Label to python through the kivy app module and the break line doesn't work. I don't know why, because I've read that actually had to run perfectly. The text in kv language is:

 Label:
        text: 'hola hola hola hola hola\nhola hola hola hola holhola hola hola hola holhola hola\n hola hola hol\nhola hola hola hola hol'
        size_hint: 0.2, 0.05
        pos_hint: {'center_x':0.5,'center_y':0.45}

I think all the lines aren't necessary, because the term of size_hint don't modify the size of the label, but without this line the issue is the same. Thank you all.

In kivy language you have to use escape to that \n symbol, because it's all in a big string that is then used to create widgets and other important stuff.

Example:

Label:
        text: 'hola hola hola\\nhola hola hola h'
        size_hint: 0.2, 0.05
        pos_hint: {'center_x':0.5,'center_y':0.45}
