Lyrics & Translation

Dive into the Spanish narrative of ROSALÍA and Yahritza Y Su Esencia's "La Perla," a song where the intensity of the vocal performance and the poetic, biting Spanish lyrics powerfully convey a universal story of heartbreak and disillusionment. Even if the language isn't fully known, the emotional weight of the track, blending flamenco roots with regional Mexican textures, allows you to understand the raw feeling of calling out a charming but deceitful figure, making it a special piece for grasping emotional nuance through music.

Hi
Hello, peace thief
Minefield
For my sensitivity
Playboy,
A champion
Spends the money that
Spends the money he/she has
And also the
And also the one who doesn’t
He’s so charming
He’s so charming
Star of nonsense
A mirage
Olympic medal of
Olympic gold medal to the most…
You have the podium
Of the great…
Of the great disappointment
The disappointment
The local disappointment
National heartbreaker
An emo terrorist
The mayo
The biggest global disaster
The local disappointment
National heartbreaker
An emotional terrorist
It’s a
She is a pearl
Nobody
Nobody trusts
She’s a pearl
One of great care
One that requires a lot of care
The king of the 13 14
Doesn’t know what it means to quote
Doesn’t know what it means to quote
He’s the center of the mu…
He’s the center of the world
And already d…
And later, what about it…
And later, what else will…
And later, what else will it give?
Finally you’re going to therapy
You go to a psychologist and also a psychiatrist
But what good is it
If you always lie more than…
If you always lie more than you speak
They will make you…
They will make you a…
They will make you a monument
To the dis…
To dishonesty
You don’t give me…
You don’t pity me
Who stays with you gets drained
Always self‑invites
If he can live in ca…
If he can live in someone else’s house
Red flags are everywhere
Wandering red flag
Tremendous
Disaster
He’ll say it wasn’t him
That it was his doppelgänger
Well, of course…
Not to refer to him as an icon
It would be for him a…
It would be for him a r… narrative
A reductionist narrative…
Never lend him anything
He won’t return it
To be a stray bullet
To be a lost bullet
It’s his specialty
It’s his specialty
Loyalty
And fidelity
It’s a language
That he’ll never understand
His masterpiece
His collection of bras
If you ask him for…
If you ask him for help
He will disappear
The local disappointment
National heartbreaker
A terrorist
The biggest disaster
The biggest worldwide disaster
She is a
She is a pearl
Nobody
Nobody trusts
She’s a pearl
One of many
One that requires a lot of caution
