CHIRI Lyrics in English ROSALÍA

Home / Lyrics Translation / ROSALÍA / CHIRI

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

Everybody wants fortune

Money and freedom

But asking for you isn't too much

I've found reasons, I've looked at the moon

Signs from fate, none of them are extra

And you lied, what for?

I took a leap of faith

You waited for my signature under the Mercer

That the one I think is at my mercy forgives me

My way around the world, it's not that I'm ill-willed

And I sleep in the hoodie that you had made

It has my name painted on the chest

I wanted to sleep and they've stolen my sleep

Now tell me

You're already hooked, I'm heroin

This is laced, I'm cocaine

The street is in love, in love with me

And I'm in love, in love with the street

I can sing it to you the same, that Jalillo sings it to you

Like Canelita, for rumba that for tanguillo, ha

Chiri, ay, chiqui chiri

I go chiqui chiri

With my chains, I go chiqui chiri

Chiqui chiri

You're already hooked, I'm heroin, mmm

You're strung out, I'm cocaine

The street is in love, in love with me

And I'm in love, in love with the street

The street is in love, in love with me

And I'm in love, in love with the street

SONG MEANING

“CHIRI” is ROSALÍA’s swagger-filled love letter to la calle—the vibrant street culture that shaped her. Over a hard-hitting beat spiced with flamenco riffs, she presents herself as an almost addictive substance: “ya estás enganchao’, soy heroína… soy cocaína.” The lyrics paint a picture of magnetic confidence: everyone chases money and freedom, yet what she really seeks is a deeper connection that destiny keeps hinting at. She moves through the world “a mi manera,” sleeping in a custom hoodie and turning everyday life into high-fashion legend, all while the streets fall head-over-heels for her fearless energy.

At its core the song celebrates power, seduction, and artistic fusion. ROSALÍA blends old-school rumba and tanguillo with modern swagger, nodding to flamenco icons (Canelita, Jalillo) while staking her own claim in today’s urban soundscape. “CHIRI” pulses with the thrill of independence: the artist is both enamored with the street and the object of its obsession, proving that her voice, style, and chains shine brightest when she walks her own path.
