Las flores de esta ciudad no huelen a na
The flowers in this city don't smell like anything
¿Por qué será? ¿Por qué será?
Why could that be? Why could that be?
Y toa' las chicas son tan bonitas, tan plásticas
And all the girls are so pretty, so plastic
¿Por qué será? ¿Por qué será?
Why could that be? Why could that be?
Flor de sakura
Sakura flower

Sakura flower
Ser una popstar nunca te dura
Being a popstar never lasts for you
Flor de sakura
Sakura flower
Flor de sakura
Sakura flower
No me da pena, me da ternura
It doesn't make me ashamed, it makes me tender
No pa siempre pues ser una estrella y brillar
Not forever, just to be a star and shine
Via reírme cuando tenga 80 y mire p'atrás
I hope to laugh when I'm 80 and look back
Nunca m'ha dao miedo la risa de un loco
I've never been afraid of a madman's laughter
Más miedo me da el que miente o el que ríe poco
What scares me more is the one who lies or laughs little
Si tienes 60 y te endiablas cuando una mujer frontea
If you're 60 and get angry when a woman stands her ground
Es que no has aprendío na o es que tienes un problema
It means you haven't learned anything or you've got a problem
Flor de sakura
Sakura flower

Sakura flower
Ser una popstar nunca te dura
Being a popstar never lasts you long
Flor de sakura
Cherry blossom
Flor de sakura
Cherry blossom
No me da pena, me da ternura
I'm not ashamed, it makes me tender
La que sabe, sabe
Those who know, know
Que si estoy en esto es para romper
That if I'm in this, it's to break free
Y si me rompo con esto, pues me romperé
And if I break with this, then I will break
¿Y qué?
And so what?
Solo hay riesgo si hay algo que perder
There's only risk if there's something to lose
Las llamas son bonitas porque no tienen orden
The flames are beautiful because they have no order
Y el fuego es bonito porque todo lo rompe
And fire is beautiful because it breaks everything

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