Magnolias
ROSALÍA
Magnolias
They say if you see
Death passing by your side
In the long Mercedes
It brings you good luck
All of you have come
Even my enemies
Today they cry
Throw me magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Over my coffin, KTMs burning rubber
Tears and tires melting into the wood
Gasoline and red wine, cigars and chocolates
Dancing with love on top of my corpse
Today we splurge
Mocking fate
And what I didn’t do in life
You do in my death
Throw me magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Throw me magnolias
(God descends and I ascend)
(We meet in the middle)
I've taken a few stabs from life
It disarmed me and I’m grateful
And throw brown sugar on my coffin
Stay awake until the light comes back again
Promise you’ll protect
Me and my name in my absence
I, who come from the stars
Today, I turn to dust
To return with them
