KASSANDRA Lyrics in English by Quevedo
Soberbia translates to 'arrogance' or 'haughtiness'. It's a powerful and less common word than typical emotions, making it stand out.
In the song, the lyrics state, "Ella nunca lo hizo por soberbia" (She never did it out of arrogance). This line reveals a deeper insight into the character Kassandra, suggesting her actions, despite her glamorous lifestyle, are not driven by pride but perhaps by something else. It invites the listener to discover the true nature of this intriguing character.
This song tells a story about meeting a famous woman who seems to have it all. She's at private afterparties and fashion shows, always surrounded by people, but Quevedo sees right through it. He sings, "Acompañada siempre / Pero siempre sola" [Always accompanied / But always alone]. She lives this life of luxury, with access to designer clothes before they're even sold, but she's deeply unhappy.
He feels like an outsider in her world, but she connects with him, telling him, "Tú eres diferente / Estar aquí también te pone triste" [You are different / Being here also makes you sad]. They spend a night together, and it seems to change her perspective. By the end of the song, she has left that life behind. She's no longer at fashion shows or private parties. The final lines flip the original idea: "Ahora está sola siempre / Pero se basta sola" [Now she's always alone / But she is enough on her own]. She found her own happiness by leaving the superficial world she was born into.
