Me han dicho que no hay sali'a
I've been told there's no way out
Por esta calle que voy
On this street I'm walking
Me han dicho que no hay sali'a
I've been told there's no way out
Yo la tengo que encontrar
Yet I have to find it
Aunque me cueste la vida
Even if it costs me my life
O aunque tengas que matar
Or even if you have to kill
Ay, el querer
Oh, love
Que en un momento quisiera
That in a moment I wish
Estar loca y no querer
To be crazy and not want
Porque el querer causa pena
Because love brings sorrow
Pena que no tiene fin
A pain that knows no end
Si el loco vive sin ella
If the crazy one lives without her
No le temas al camino
Don't be afraid of the road
Es como una maldición
It's like a curse
No le temas al camino
Don't be afraid of the road
Si la alumbro, la confirmo
If I shine her light, I confirm her
Ya lo sabes, es lo que pasa
You already know, it's what happens
Y ninguno quie'e decirlo
And no one wants to say it
He deja'o un reguero
I've left a trail
De sangre por el suelo
Of blood on the ground
He deja'o un reguero
I've left a trail
Que me lleva al primer día
That takes me back to the first day
Que te dije que te quiero
When I told you that I love you
Pa' saber lo que decías
To know what you were saying
Ay, el querer
Oh, love
Que en un momento quisiera
That in a moment I wish
Estar loca y no querer
To be crazy and not want
Porque el querer causa pena
Because love brings pain
Pena que no tiene fin
Pain that has no end
Si el loco vive sin ella
If the crazy one lives without her

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