BULERÍAS Lyrics in English ROSALÍA

Home / Lyrics Translation / ROSALÍA / BULERÍAS

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song BULERÍAS by ROSALÍA from Spanish to English.

I didn't have to do

anything that I didn't want

And even though nobody sees it now

I didn't have to do

nothing that I regret or that I lament now

To stay standing today

I worked my *ss off 24/7

That's what I had to do

I'm just as much a cantaora

just as much a cantaora in a Versace tracksuit

as dressed like a bailaora

in a Versace tracksuit

as dressed like a bailaora

And even if they curse me

behind my back

From every little stab

I pull out my rage

And even if I don't have money

don't have anybody

I'm going to keep singing

because it comes from inside me

I'm the girl of fire, like Caracol sings

like Caracol sings

Ay, that one you dealt me

And one, yes, but two, no

I'm very much my own

May God bless Pastori and Mercé

Lil' Kim, Tego, and M.I.A

my family and freedom

Ay, move, move, move out of the way

Because you know that I sing to you in siete por medio

Move, move, move out of the way

Because you know that I sing to you in siete por medio

Ay, because you know that I sing to you in siete por medio

SONG MEANING

“BULERÍAS” is Rosalía’s power-packed declaration of self-worth and artistic freedom. Over the beat of a flamenco bulería, she looks back on her rise and proudly states she never betrayed herself to get here. Whether she is in a glittering dancer’s dress or a Versace tracksuit, her voice carries the same fire. Every whispered criticism or “puñalá” behind her back only fuels her rage-turned-art, proving that hard work 24/7 and staying true to one’s roots can coexist with bold experimentation.

The song is also a love letter to the icons who shaped her: flamenco greats like Pastori, El Cigala’s partner José Mercé, and trailblazing rappers such as Lil’ Kim, Tego Calderón, and M.I.A. By name-checking them alongside her own family and “la libertad,” Rosalía shows how tradition, hip hop swagger, and personal rebellion weave together in her music. “BULERÍAS” reminds listeners that even without money or backing, the urge to sing—the pure need to express—can light up a stage and silence every doubter.
