Dicen que si vieras pasar
They say that if you saw passing by
A tu lao la muerte
Death by your side
En la Mercedes la que es alargá
In the elongated Mercedes
Te da buena suerte
It brings you good luck
Todos habéis venido
You all have come
Hasta mis enemigos
Even my enemies
Hoy lloran
Today they cry
Tírame magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Tírame magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Tírame magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Tírame magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Sobre mi ataúd
Over my coffin
Ktms quemando rueda
Ktms burning rubber
Lágrimas y goma se derriten
Tears and rubber melt away
En la madera
In the wood
Gasolina y vino tinto
Gasoline and red wine
Puros y chocolate
Cigars and chocolate
Bailando con amor
Dancing with love
Encima de mi cadáver
On top of my corpse
Hoy se derrocha
Today we waste away
Burlando la suerte
Outsmarting fate
Y lo que no hice en vida
And what I didn't do in life
Lo hacéis en mi muerte
You do it in my death
Tírame magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Tírame magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Tírame magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Tírame magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Tírame magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Tírame magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Tírame magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Tírame magnolias
Throw magnolias at me
Dios desciende
God descends
Y yo asciendo
And I ascend
Nos encontramos
We meet
En el medio
In the middle
Algún que otro navajazo
A few knife stabs
Me he llevado de la vida
I've taken from life
Ella a mí me desarmó
She disarmed me
Y yo le estoy agradecida
And I am grateful to her
Y lanzad azúcar moreno
And throw brown sugar
Sobre mi ataúd
Over my coffin
Y quedaros despiertos
And stay awake
Hasta que vuelva otra vez la luz
Until the light returns once more
Promete que me protegerás
Promise that you will protect me
A mí y a mi nombre en mi ausencia
Me and my name in my absence
Yo que vengo de las estrellas
I who come from the stars
Hoy me convierto en polvo
Today I become dust
Pa' volver con ellas
To return with them

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