La Rumba Del Perdón Lyrics English Translation by ROSALÍA
You and your best friend
Heart and soul
Inseparable
But something happened
There was an uncut kilo
In your drawer
And out of pure envy
Someone stole it from you
Your best friend
The one who played the guitar
What could have happened?
That suddenly the guitar no longer sounded
And the phone didn’t even ring
He couldn’t have been such a friend
When he loosened the guitar strings
From the first to the bass string
And inside there he hid the kilo
And just like the kilo
He also disappeared
But me
I forgive you for everything (Nonaino, nonaino, nonaino, nonaino, na)
I forgive you for everything (Nonaino, nonaino, nonaino, nonaino, na)
I forgive you for everything (Nonaino, nonaino, nonaino, nonaino, na)
I forgive you for everything (Nonaino, nonaino, nonaino, nonaino, na)
When you said “I’m going down for cigarettes”
Looking your youngest son in the eyes
You promised him you’d be back in no time
And you never again crossed the threshold of the door you left through
But
I know that you are for me
I know that you are for me
I know that you are for me
I know that you will come to me
The street says that you are for me
Those who know say that you are for me
It’s said in the town square that you are for me
Tell your mother that you are for me
I forgive you for everything (Nonaino, nonaino, nonaino, nonaino, na)
I forgive you for everything (Nonaino, nonaino, nonaino, nonaino, na)
I forgive you for everything (Nonaino, nonaino, nonaino, nonaino, na)
I forgive you for everything (Nonaino, nonaino, nonaino, nonaino, na)
The one who has no blood in their veins
First comes the poison and then the pain
The one who thinks they can escape the divine plan
And the one who’s shouting from the 5th to the 4th floor to their neighbor
The one who’s always gossiping and spreading rumors
The one who never says what they think even though they should
The one who left me before they’d leave their bottle
The one who bites her fists in rage and the rage bites her back
When power weighs more than love
When the fear is in you and desire is all around
The one who killed with stabs and his hand didn’t even shake
He plunged the knife so deep he lost it
The one with the soul of a saint but keeps on sinning
When you’ve lied for the sake of lying or you’ve lied for your truth
When you’ve wanted more than God has wanted to give you
To tie and untie
To undress yourself and undress another
To do it the way it should be done
Three things you will need
Fire in your hands
Tenderness in your eyes
And me present in the place
Technically that would be a trio
But if I’m just watching
It won’t count
