Di Mi Nombre Lyrics in English Rosalía

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Di Mi Nombre by Rosalía from Spanish to English.
Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali
Say my name
When there's nobody around
When there's nobody around
When there's nobody around
That the things
That the things that you tell me
That the things that you tell me today
Don't go out that door
And tie me with your hair
To the corner of your bed
That even if the hair breaks
I'll make it look that I'm tied
That even if the hair breaks
I'll make it look that I'm tied
Oh, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Yali ya
Say my name
Put your body against mine
And make the bad become good
Impure what's blessed
And make me pray over your body
And at the corner of your bed
And at the last moment
Say my name to my face
And at the last moment
Say my name to my face
Oh, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Yali ya

SONG MEANING

Rosalía turns a whispered request into a fiery ritual. In Di Mi Nombre she invites her lover to say her name when no one else is listening, wrapping the moment in secrecy and suspense. The repeated “Ali, Ali” echoes the traditional “jaleo” shouts heard in flamenco, reminding us that passion can be both ancient and immediate. The lyrics paint an intense picture: hair becomes a rope, a bedroom corner becomes an altar, and forbidden pleasure is suddenly blessed. By asking her partner to turn “lo malo” (the bad) into something “bendecido” (blessed), Rosalía blurs the line between the sacred and the sensual, celebrating desire that is intimate yet powerful.

This song is a celebration of identity and ownership. Every time she urges, “Di mi nombre” (Say my name), Rosalía reclaims her space in the relationship and in the wider tradition of flamenco, where women’s voices have often been framed by male perspectives. With hypnotic vocals and modern production fused with flamenco flair, she transforms a private plea into an anthem of bold vulnerability, proving that naming, claiming, and loving can all happen in a single breath.
