Ropa Cara Lyrics in English Camilo

Home / Lyrics Translation / Camilo / Ropa Cara

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ropa Cara by Camilo from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

This is a story based on real events

The kind that don't get told for being so personal

About when I met a well-mannered girl

And lots of followers on social media

Everything was fine, generally speaking

Until she showed dangerous signs

One day she told me: look, you won't go out with me like that

In those little clothes like from a garage sale

Chorus 1

And now she wants me to wear expensive clothes

Balenciaga, Gucci, Prada

But I don't have any of that

And she wants me to wear expensive clothes

Balenciaga, Gucci, Prada

But I don't have any of that

Verse 2

First time in the Louis Vuitton store

Looking for a blazer and a belt

All night being careful not to tear it

To return it the next day

Borrowing a car to pick her up

All perfumed so I could see her

Hair combed like a kid for school, like a Marinela penguin

Bridge

What happened to me?

I forgot all the things that they taught me at home

What happened to me?

That doesn't work, I'm not that person

Chorus 2

And now she wants me to wear expensive clothes

Balenciaga, Gucci, Prada

But I don't have any of that

And she wants me to wear expensive clothes

Balenciaga, Gucci, Prada

But I don't have any of that

Chorus 3

And now she wants me to wear expensive clothes

Balenciaga, Gucci, Prada

But I don't have any of that

Outro

Expensive clothes

Gucci, Prada

Expensive clothes

Gucci, Prada

Expensive clothes

SONG MEANING

Camilo turns a real-life anecdote into a playful cautionary tale. The Colombian singer meets a seemingly sweet, well-mannered girl who dazzles social media with her perfect posts, yet her affection comes with a price tag. Suddenly he is pressured to swap his everyday wardrobe for luxury labels—Balenciaga, Gucci, Prada. The lyrics paint a humorous picture of him tiptoeing through a Louis Vuitton store, borrowing a car, and primping like a schoolboy just to impress her, all while worrying he might have forgotten the values he learned at home.

Ultimately, Ropa Cara pokes fun at consumer culture and reminds listeners that authenticity is worth more than designer threads. Camilo’s catchy chorus repeats the brand names like a jingle, spotlighting the absurdity of buying love through status symbols. The song invites you to dance, laugh, and reflect on one simple truth: trying to be someone you are not can cost you far more than any luxury outfit.
