Final means 'end' or 'finish'. While it's a common word, its significance in this song is quite special.
In this track, ROSALÍA is directly addressing her listeners, thanking them for staying with her through the entire album. She says, "Parece ser que hasta el final" (It seems that until the end), acknowledging their dedication. This makes 'final' a powerful word in this context, symbolizing the completion of a journey and the bond between artist and fan.
This isn't really a song in the usual sense, but more of a personal voice note from ROSALÍA to you! It's the very last track on her album MOTOMAMI, and it feels like we've been invited into the recording booth with her. It starts with what sounds like a soundcheck: she says, "I don't hear my voice so much," before getting it right and declaring, "Ahora sí, now amazing, amazing" (Now yes, now amazing).
Once the sound is perfect, she speaks directly to the listener. She introduces herself, "Hola, soy la rosalía" (Hello, I'm Rosalía), and acknowledges that you've made it all the way through her album. Her main message is a simple and sweet thank you: "Así que muchas gracias por escucharlo" (So thank you very much for listening to it). The track ends with a little laugh, making it a very charming and informal way to close the record.
