La Perla Lyrics English Translation by ROSALÍA
Hello, thief of my peace
A minefield for my sensitivity
Playboy, a champion
Spends the money he has and also the money he doesn’t
He is so charming, star of unreason
A mirage, Olympic gold medal for the biggest ***
You have the podium for the great disappointment
The local disappointment, the national heartbreaker
An emotional ***, the world’s greatest disaster
He’s a pearl, nobody trusts him
He’s a pearl, one you gotta be careful with
The king of the 13-14, he doesn’t know what it’s like to pay his dues
He is the center of the world
And everything else, what does it matter?
You’re finally going to therapy, you see a psychologist and also a psychiatrist
But what good is it if you always lie more than you talk?
They’ll build you a monument to dishonesty
I don’t feel sorry for you, whoever stays with you gets drained
He always invites himself, if he can, he lives in someone else’s house
A walking red flag, a tremendous disaster
He’ll say it wasn’t him, that it was his doppelgänger
Well, you see, of course, to not refer to him as an icon
Would be, for him, a reductive narrative, you understand me?
Never lend him anything, he won’t give it back
Being a stray bullet is his specialty
Loyalty and fidelity
Is a language he will never understand
His masterpiece, his collection of broken hearts
If you ask him for help, he’ll disappear
The local disappointment, the national heartbreaker
An emotional ***, the world’s greatest disaster
He’s a pearl, nobody trusts him
He’s a pearl, one you gotta be careful with
