Toma este puñal dorado
Take this golden dagger
Y ponte tú en las cuatro esquinas
And you stand at the four corners
Y dame tú de puñala-, puña-, puñala- (puñaladas)
And give me your dagger, dagger, dagger- (stabs)
Y no digas que me ol-olvidas
And don't say you for-orget me
Que con el aire que tú me llevas
For with the air that you carry me
Cuando vas a cami-, caminar
When you go walking
Hasta el farol de la cola
To the streetlight at the end
Que me lo vas a apagar
That you're going to turn it off for me
El mundo, leguas y leguas
The world, leagues and leagues
Aunque mi cuerpo ha corrido
Even though my body has run
El mundo, leguas y leguas
The world, leagues and leagues
Como aquí me deja el alma
As here my soul is left behind
Y aquí ha venido por ella
And here it has come for her
Aunque mi cuerpo ha corrido
Even though my body has run
El mundo, leguas y leguas
The world, leagues and leagues
Toma este puñal dora'o
Take this golden dagger
Y ponte tú en las cuatro esquinas
And position yourself at the four corners
Y dame tú de puñaladas
And stab me, if you will
Y no digas que me olvidas
And don't say that you forget me
Que con el aire que tú llevas
For with the air that you carry
Que cuando vas a caminar
When you go for a walk
Hasta el farol de la cola
To the lantern of the tail
Ay, que me lo vas a apagar
Oh, you’re going to turn it off for me
Porque sale te ofende
Because the sun that rises, offends you
Si yo supiera, compañero
If I knew, my friend
Que el sol que sale, te ofende
That the sun that rises, offends you
Con eso me peleara
With that I would fight
Que yo aunque me dieran la muerte
That even if death were given to me
Con eso me peleara
With that I would fight
Que yo aunque me dieran la muerte
That even if death were given to me
Madre, tiene la reina de mis entrañas
Mother, you have the queen of my innards
Dos abanicos negros que por pestañas
Two black fans that are like eyelashes
Que por pestaña', niña, que por pestañas
That are like eyelashes, girl, that are like eyelashes
No hay niña que las tenga por to'a la España
There's no girl in all of Spain who has them
Y te voy pintando y pintando
And I keep painting and painting you
Al ladico del brasero
Right next to the brazier
Y a la vez me voy quemando
And at the same time I'm burning
Por lo mucho que te quiero
Because I love you so much
Válgame San Rafael
Help me, Saint Raphael
Tener el agua tan cerca y no poderla beber
To have the water so close and not be able to drink it

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