Ya no tenía na' que hacerle
I had nothing left to do to him
Ay, ay
Oh, oh
Y les escupen, y le abofetean
And they spit on him, and slap him
Y lo coronan, ay, de espinas
And they crown him, oh, with thorns
Sangre pura le chorrea
Pure blood trickles down
Por su carita, ay, divina
Over his little face, oh, divine
Era un día de jueves santo
It was a holy Thursday
Sol y luna, se eclipso
Sun and moon, eclipsed
Temblaron con los elementos
They trembled with the elements
Cuando pidió el redentor
When the redeemer asked

About this song
Flouting genre conventions while exploring silence and space as much as sound, ROSALÍA has remade flamenco and pop in the process.
