Orgullecida Lyrics in English by Buena Vista Social Club
Alabastrina refers to something made of or resembling alabaster, a translucent, often white, mineral. It's a beautiful and somewhat rare word, evoking images of purity, smoothness, and delicate beauty.
In "Orgullecida," the singer uses this word to describe herself, saying "Tal vez será que estoy alabastrina" (Perhaps it's that I am alabastrine). This suggests she perceives herself as having a refined, almost ethereal beauty, contributing to her sense of pride and divinity. It's a unique way to express self-admiration.
Get ready to feel fabulous with Buena Vista Social Club's "Orgullecida"! This song is all about embracing your inner diva and feeling absolutely amazing about yourself. The singer declares, "Orgullecida estoy de ser divina Y de tener tan linda perfección" [I am proud to be divine And to have such beautiful perfection]. It's a celebration of self-love and confidence, almost as if she's under a love spell, wondering if it's because she's "alabastrina" [alabaster-like] or if it's the "filtros reinos del amor" [filters, kingdoms of love] at play.
But it's not all just about her own perfection! There's a hint of romance too. She talks about the "celos del cariño De aquel volcán que llama tentadora" [jealousy of affection Of that volcano that calls temptingly]. It seems like someone special has captured her heart, and she believes, "Y tú podrás lograr que yo te quiera Porque tú has sido mi única ilusión" [And you will be able to make me love you Because you have been my only illusion]. It's a beautiful blend of self-assuredness and the hopeful, singular focus of new love. What a mood!
