Pop Lyrics in English La Oreja de Van Gogh

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Pop by La Oreja de Van Gogh from Spanish to English.
You have talent, culture
Beautiful hands and you study French
You sing, act and paint
You write poems, you do everything well
You were born an artist, I know that
It shows on your face
You have a lot of power
Sign down here and you'll see
How your life changes
It's very easy to win
You're the queen of pop
A life with no name, a heap of dreams
You're bills and alcohol
A blurry photo, a flower without scent
Think about what you're going to spend
All that money that you're going to earn
You don't know how much I admire you
I applaud you, I look at you and I listen too
Never forget who helped you
Who was with you, who taught you
Don't let anyone as they pass
Look you in the eyes, you must command
You're the queen of pop
A life with no name, a heap of dreams
You're bills and alcohol
A blurry photo, a flower without scent
You're the queen of pop
A life with no name, a heap of dreams
You're bills and alcohol
A blurry photo, a flower without scent
You're the queen of pop
A life with no name, a heap of dreams
You're bills and alcohol
A blurry photo, a flower without scent
A flower without scent, a flower without color
A flower without scent

SONG MEANING

Pop is a bright-sounding song with a sharp message. La Oreja de Van Gogh imagines a smooth-talking producer flattering a multi-talented newcomer: “Cantas, actúas y pintas… Firma aquí abajo y verás cómo cambia tu vida.” The verses sparkle with promises of easy money, power and applause, inviting the artist to sign a contract that will supposedly make her the “reina del pop.”

Yet every compliment hides a warning. The chorus swaps glitter for grit, revealing what fame can really mean: “Una vida sin nombre, un montón de ilusión… facturas y alcohol… una flor sin olor.” Behind the spotlight lie blurred memories, mounting bills and hollow celebrations. The song becomes a clever cautionary tale about the music industry, reminding listeners that talent is precious but fame can strip it of color and scent—just like a flower without smell.
