KASSANDRA Lyrics in English by Quevedo

Home / Lyrics translation / Quevedo / KASSANDRA

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song KASSANDRA by Quevedo from Spanish to English.

Private afterparty

Fashion shows

Always accompanied

She is never alone

And even though she is not engaged

Wedding rings and diamonds

Always accompanied

But still alone

But she always looks at me

When I go behind her

At the photocall she answers

The press while looking at me

I didn't know that you spoke Spanish

And even though I'd seen you on TV

You're hotter in person

Always accompanied

But still alone

I don't know what you saw in me

What is it that you noticed about me?

You grew up in this scene

For me everything is so new

I have to tell you

At the first gala that I saw you, babe

You whispered in my ear

'You are different

Being here also makes you sad'

And she told me her story

Her father, a screenwriter, once in Hollywood

Her mother, a dancer

Leading role in the Moscow ballet

She never did it out of arrogance

But they show her the garments

Before they sell them

Top brand, closes the store

For her alone

Among so much difference

We are the same maybe

From different circles

Different streets

Coincidences like that only happen once

So, babe

Let's take advantage that the night is long

And if you want, the sun takes longer to rise

I respect your stylist

But you look better without a dress

Take off that hairstyle

If you want you can make noise

I am not so formal

Stop being so proper with me

Bring out all your sl*tty side with me

Private afterparty

Fashion shows

Always accompanied

She is never alone

And even though she is not engaged

Wedding rings and diamonds

Always accompanied

But still alone

After that night

We took different paths

She is still always accompanied

But she doesn't feel so alone anymore

She no longer summers in Santorini

Now she blends in among the people

And I see her smiling more calmly

She learned to obey what she feels

No private afterparty

No fashion shows

Now she is always alone

But she is self-sufficient

And she doesn't want to be engaged

No wedding rings and diamonds

Now she is always alone

But she is self-sufficient

GOOD NIGHT, babe

soberbia — arrogance / haughtiness

Soberbia translates to 'arrogance' or 'haughtiness'. It's a powerful and less common word than typical emotions, making it stand out.

In the song, the lyrics state, "Ella nunca lo hizo por soberbia" (She never did it out of arrogance). This line reveals a deeper insight into the character Kassandra, suggesting her actions, despite her glamorous lifestyle, are not driven by pride but perhaps by something else. It invites the listener to discover the true nature of this intriguing character.

Spanish hitmaker Quevedo steps straight into the flashbulbs of high society in KASSANDRA, and he immediately spots someone who doesn't quite fit the glitz either. The woman he watches is surrounded by photographers and private afterparties, yet she looks completely isolated: "Acompañada siempre / Pero siempre sola" ("Always accompanied / But always alone"). She wears luxury jewelry like wedding rings without even being engaged, her father wrote scripts in Hollywood, and her mother danced leading roles for the Moscow Ballet. High-end boutiques even lock their doors to let her shop in total privacy ("Primera marca, cierra la tienda / Para ella sola"). Yet the moment she leans in at a gala, she cuts through the pretension: "Tú eres diferente / Estar aquí también te pone triste" ("You are different / Being here makes you sad too").

Quevedo admits he is totally out of his depth in this wealthy world ("pa' mí todo es tan nuevo" [for me, everything is so new]), but their shared weariness brings them together for one wild night. He drops the polite red-carpet etiquette and bluntly tells her to mess up her styling: "Saca to' lo de bellaca conmigo" ("Bring out all your naughtiness with me"). In Latin and Spanish urban slang, bellaca describes someone who is sexually uninhibited or down to get dirty. The best twist arrives the morning after. Instead of turning into a fairytale romance, they go their separate ways. But that single encounter broke the spell of her luxury cage: she ditches the elite vacations in Santorini, avoids the elite fashion shows, and blends into normal crowds with a real smile on her face. As Quevedo puts it, she ended up alone, but now she is completely happy relying on herself: "se basta sola" ("she is enough on her own").
