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

The Rosalía

Roses without a card

I send them to your babe

I've got her for you on roulette

A serenade wasn't needed

I go out and shots ring out

I dress any way

In New York visiting my jeweler

He only wants cash, I give him my money

For you naki, chicken teriyaki

Your babe wants maki, my babe on a Kawasaki

I want a chain that ruins my whole account

Like Naomi in the 90s

Roses without a card

I send them to your babe

I've got her for you on roulette

A serenade wasn't needed

For you naki, chicken teriyaki

Your babe wants maki

I want a chain that ruins my whole account

Like Julio in the 70s

One bill, two bills, a store of bills

The toughest that hits

In New York skating up to the Heights

All my Domis know what's up

And yes, fame is a sentence

But tell me another one that pays for your dinner

They're throwing shade at me like drag queens

Cute like Mike Dean

Roses without a card

I send them to your babe

I've got her for you on roulette

A serenade wasn't needed

Sweet as sugar, babe, all with no receipt

I read scores, but I don't write them

From Queens to Tribeca

A bouquet of blue flowers doesn't dry out

For you naki, chicken teriyaki

Your babe wants maki, my babe on a Kawasaki

SONG MEANING

Chicken Teriyaki is Rosalía’s playful victory lap through the streets of New York, where she struts past jewelers, skaters, and critics with the same carefree energy you’d use to order fast food. Packed with inside jokes, runway references, and foodie wordplay, the song is really about flexing: flexing her success, her fashion sense, and her freedom to do things her own way. Every shout-out (from Naomi in the 90s to Julio in the 70s) is a reminder that she now moves in legendary circles, yet she still keeps things light with tongue-in-cheek lines about “chicken teriyaki” and sushi cravings.

Under the glossy reggaeton beat, Rosalía nods to the ups and downs of fame — “la fama es una condena” — but she shrugs off the pressure with whip-smart humor and unstoppable confidence. The chorus’ catchy food imagery isn’t really about lunch; it’s a tasty metaphor for instant gratification and a life where desires are met at lightning speed. In short, this is a swagger-filled anthem celebrating money, independence, and the delicious fun of living large.
