CORLEONE Lyrics in English by Nathy Peluso
Testamento translates to "will" or "testament" in English. It's a word that immediately brings to mind serious matters of legacy and inheritance, making it quite intriguing.
In the context of the song, Nathy Peluso sings about needing to "dejarle el testamento a mi hermana Sofía" (leave the will to my sister Sofía). This line highlights her ambition and foresight, even contemplating her own mortality and the need to secure her empire, adding a dramatic and powerful layer to her persona.
Nathy Peluso's "CORLEONE" is a fascinating peek into the mind of someone driven by immense ambition and a touch of melancholy. She opens by telling her friend Tatiana, "Esta ambición me está matando" [This ambition is killing me], revealing the intense pressure she feels. Even with all her success, there's a constant yearning for more: "Y aunque yo lo consiga todo, siempre quiero más" [And even if I get everything, I always want more].
It's not all glamour, though. Amidst counting money and loves, she finds herself smoking a cigarette, experiencing "llanto y pena, gloria y paz" [tears and sorrow, glory and peace]. She even admits to a "pena muy honda" [very deep sorrow] despite having an "imperio" [empire] and a "palacio brillante" [shining palace]. The song ends with a blunt, almost humorous, declaration that even if she died tomorrow, she wouldn't be at peace until she closed deals and left her will to her sister. It's a powerful and honest look at the complex feelings that come with chasing greatness.
