Arde Lyrics in English Aitana

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Arde by Aitana from Spanish to English.
It's that place where the truth
Is an empty hug, a disguise
Imagine being an old hostage
A forgotten canvas on the wall
And no, you don't want to
You don't see it
Burn, burn, let it burn well
The tale of the slave and his king
Burn, burn, let it burn again
Whoever loses memory for pleasure
You won't fall, I'm a daughter too
There's no race in the chest nor in the skin
Silenced for being born, story of Babel
I'm the shame of your shot at her carnation
It must be that no, you don't want to
You don't see it
Burn, burn, let it burn well
The tale of the slave and his king
Burn, burn, let it burn again
Whoever loses memory for pleasure
And there's no home if not, if there's no calm
There's no home if not
And if it doesn't burn, burn
The tale of the slave and his king
Burn
Whoever loses memory for pleasure
A forgotten canvas on the wall

SONG MEANING

Arde (Spanish for It Burns) finds Aitana lighting a symbolic match against silence and forgetfulness: she sings of hollow hugs and disguises that mask reality, then urges us to let the fire consume those lies—“Arde, arde, que arda bien.” In quick, vivid strokes she paints prisoners of history, erased canvases, and Babel-like confusion, all to highlight how power rewrites the past when we choose comfort over memory. Yet amid the flames the Spanish pop star affirms solidarity—“soy hija también”—reminding us that pain has no race or skin color, and that a true home cannot exist without calm, truth, and collective remembrance. The result is a Latin Pop anthem that makes you want to dance while it sparks reflection: only by letting the truth burn bright can we dismantle the old story of the slave and his king and build something new from the ashes.
