Aunque Es De Noche Lyrics in English ROSALÍA
Manida translates to "lair" or "abode," and it usually refers to the den of a wild animal. It’s a beautifully rare and poetic word that you won't hear in everyday conversation.
In this song, which adapts a 16th-century poem by Saint John of the Cross, the term describes the hidden source of a mystical, eternal fountain. Calling the source a manida gives it a sense of wild, sacred secrecy, making it a powerful and memorable image.
Aunque Es De Noche is ROSALÍA’s hypnotic take on a 16th-century mystical poem by Spanish friar San Juan de la Cruz. Throughout the song she sings about an eterna fuente – an eternal fountain – that keeps flowing even when everything around seems dark. This hidden spring stands for a divine, limitless source of love and inspiration. By repeating aunque es de noche (“even though it is night”) ROSALÍA reminds us that faith, hope and creativity can keep pouring out, no matter how obscure or uncertain life feels.
As the verses describe water that no one can reach, light that never fades and currents that refresh heaven, earth and even the underworld, the track becomes a celebration of spiritual resilience. With her flamenco lamentos and modern beats, ROSALÍA turns a centuries-old prayer into a contemporary anthem about trusting the invisible, sensing beauty in the shadows and letting an unseen power nourish our souls.
