DIABLO Lyrics in English ROSALÍA
Diablo literally translates to "devil", and it's the central metaphor in this powerful song about fame and broken trust.
ROSALÍA isn't singing about a literal demon. She uses "diablo" to represent the corrupting influence of fame and money that has changed someone she once cared about. She sings "La amistad la rompe el diablo" (The devil breaks friendships) before asking directly, "Ya no sé quién eres, diablo" (I don't know who you are anymore, devil), making it a dramatic and unforgettable word.
In “DIABLO” ROSALÍA spins a sleek, neon-lit story about a friend who has traded her true self for fame’s fast cars and TV spotlights. The singer remembers the old bond with affection, repeating “La que sale por TV no es la que yo conocí” to underline how the person shining like the moon is now only a polished image. Glittering jewelry, Lamborghinis, and overnight success set the scene, yet every luxury line is shadowed by the warning “Si Dios te lo da, te lo quitará.”
The chorus explodes into a cautionary chant where loyalty faces off against money on the floor and the devil breaks friendships. ROSALÍA refuses to sell her soul, reminding us that zeros in a bank account mean nothing if purity is lost. The result is a bold, flamenco-kissed trap anthem that celebrates authenticity while exposing the dark price of chasing celebrity sparkle.
