Hablando En Plata Lyrics in English Melendi

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Hablando En Plata by Melendi from Spanish to English.
Speaking plainly
Dreaming in gold
Going up to heaven
Going down to the Moor
Pirate CDs
Chinese with roses
Fairy tales
One funeral and four weddings
I mocked irony right in the face
With all the turns that life takes
I saw sadness laugh
And I saw the ugliest one look so pretty
And what's good isn't always better
And what's bad, the worst
And I say the truth if I lie
When I lie, it's for love
Speaking plainly
Dreaming in gold
Going up to heaven
Going down to the Moor
Pirate CDs
Chinese with roses
Fairy tales
One funeral and four weddings
Speaking plainly
Dreaming in gold
Going up to heaven
Going down to the Moor
Pirate CDs
Chinese with roses
Fairy tales
One funeral and four weddings
I no longer know if time goes too fast
Or I go too slow and nobody warns me
If something that goes up comes back down
If something that is wet can dry
I don't laugh anymore if I'm happy
I don't cry for the pain anymore
I don't know anymore if I'm outside or inside
On the radar of your heart
Speaking plainly
Dreaming in gold
Going up to heaven
Going down to the Moor
Pirate CDs
Chinese with roses
Fairy tales
One funeral and four weddings
Speaking plainly
Dreaming in gold
Going up to heaven
Going down to the Moor
Pirate CDs
Chinese with roses
Fairy tales
One funeral and four weddings
Speaking plainly
Dreaming in gold
Going up to heaven
Going down to the Moor
Pirate CDs
Chinese with roses
Fairy tales
One funeral and four weddings
Speaking plainly
Dreaming in gold
Going up to heaven
Going down to the Moor
Pirate CDs
Chinese with roses
Fairy tales
One funeral and four weddings
I've believed the unbelievable
I've denied what I saw
And I don't say what I think anymore
Because I only think about you

SONG MEANING

Straight talk, golden dreams – contradictions rule the day!

In “Hablando En Plata,” Melendi opens a suitcase full of opposites and shakes them out like confetti. The Spanish singer piles up everyday images – pirated CDs, street-corner roses, fairy tales – beside bigger-than-life snapshots such as “a funeral and four weddings.” By stringing these contrasts together, he paints life as a roller-coaster where the sad can laugh, the plain can dazzle, and truth can hide inside a lie told for love. The chorus’s repetitive chant is catchy but also revealing: while we may try to speak plainly (plata), our hopes always glitter in gold (oro), vaulting us sky-high one moment and dropping us into uncertainty the next.

In the verses, Melendi admits he’s lost track of time, logic, and even his own feelings: if something can go up and down, get wet and dry, how can he know what’s real? This fog clears only when he focuses on one clear point – “I only think about you.” The song becomes a witty, street-wise meditation on life’s ironies and the way love slices through the confusion. Expect a playful Spanish vocabulary lesson wrapped in a reminder that reality, like music, is mixed in unexpected keys.
