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 asshole
You have the podium for the great disappointment
The local disappointment, the national heartbreaker
An emotional terrorist, 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 terrorist, the world’s greatest disaster
He’s a pearl, nobody trusts him
He’s a pearl, one you gotta be careful with
