COMO UN G Lyrics in English by ROSALÍA

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song COMO UN G by ROSALÍA from Spanish to English.
If you can't have it you'll have to let it go
I'm not by your side, but I wish you peace and freedom
Don't pray for me, I want that you know that I'm fine
I have my faith, my guns, my heart that I don't know for whom
I don't sleep at all and I go like I was armored
Sorry if I forget that it's just your birthday
So many shelves will be left undedicated
I'm sad if I think about the good I have that can't last
Only love is paid with love
I owe you nothing and you owe me nothing
The love that isn't given, where does it end?
If I find yours it'll already be a debt paid
If you can't have it, better let it go
What a shame when you have something
But God has other plans for you
I don't fall for anybody, I swear, like a G
Nor do I write love songs
But in this one I bend for you
Where did the night catch me? I got lost
The headlights of the cars take me over there
Where did the night catch me? I got lost
Headlights take me over there
Only love is paid with love
I owe you nothing
And you owe me nothing
The love that isn't given, where does it end?
If I find yours it'll already be a debt paid
Save me, save me
Again, again
Send me, send me
Angels, angels
Save me, save me
Again, again
Send me, send me
Angels, angels
Like a real G
Without bodyguards I wander around
That I kill, that I kill, I kill for you
Singing you ballads at dawn
Who was going to tell me
But tell me, tell me who dares to say it to me
That I'll always love you even if I don't have you
That you'll always have me even if you don't love me
That I'll always love you even if I don't have you
That you'll always have me even if you don't love me
Da, da, da, da, dararada
Da, da, da, da, dararada
Da, da, da, da, dararada
Da, da, da, da, dararada
Da, da, da, da

me doblo — I bend / I fold

Me doblo literally means "I bend" or "I fold". It's a powerful phrase that ROSALÍA uses to express emotional vulnerability and breaking her own rules.

In "COMO UN G", she sings about being tough and guarded, like a "G" (gangster). But then she confides, "Ni escribo canciones de amor, pero en esta me doblo por ti" (I don't even write love songs, but in this one, I fold for you). This confession is the heart of the song, showing that for this specific person, she is willing to let her tough exterior crumble and "bend" her principles.

Spanish singer ROSALÍA usually carries herself with total swagger, but here she completely folds for someone. The title borrows hip-hop slang: calling yourself un G means acting like a real gangster—tough, guarded, and unbreakable. She swears, "No me enamoro de nadie, jurao', como un G / Ni escribo canciones de amor" ("I don't fall in love with anyone, I swear, like a G / Nor do I write love songs"), yet immediately admits, "Pero en esta me doblo por ti" ("But on this one, I bend for you"). Even when trying to walk around without bodyguards ("Sin guardas espaldas voy por ahí") and claiming she would kill for them, she is sleepless, numb, and literally missing their birthday.

The real weight of the track comes from accepting that things ended because "Dios tiene otros planes para ti" ("God has other plans for you"). She writes off all emotional debts with the old saying "Sólo el amor con amor se paga" ("Only love is repaid with love"), asking what happens to love that goes unexpressed: "El querer que no se da, ¿dónde acaba?" ("The love that isn't given, where does it end?"). By the end, she drops every ounce of pride, crying out to angels for protection before leaving us with the ultimate unconditional pledge: "Que siempre te querré aunque no te tenga / Que siempre me tendrás aunque no me quieras" ("I'll always love you even if I don't have you / You'll always have me even if you don't love me").
