Hello, peace thief
Minefield for my sensitivity
Playboy, a champion
He spends the money that he has and also the money that he doesn't
He's so charming, star of irrationality
A mirage, Olympic gold medal to the biggest a*shole
You've got the podium of the great disappointment
The local disappointment, national heartbreaker
An emotional terrorist, the biggest disaster worldwide
He's a pearl, nobody trusts him
He's a pearl, one to handle with care
The king of the 13-14, he doesn't know what it means to pay in
He's the center of the world
And after that, the rest, what will it matter?
At last you go to therapy, you go to the psychologist and also the psychiatrist
But what's it good for if you always lie more than you talk?
They'll build you a monument to dishonesty
You don't make me feel sorry, whoever stays with you gets drained
You always self-invite, if you can you live in someone else's house
Walking red flag, tremendous disaster
He'll say that it wasn't him, that it was his doppelgänger
Well, it's just that, of course, not referring to him as an icon
Would be for him a reductionist narrative, you get me?
Never lend him anything, he won't return it
Being a stray bullet is his specialty
Loyalty and fidelity
Is a language that he'll never understand
His masterpiece, his collection of bras
If you ask him for help he'll disappear
The local disappointment, national heartbreaker
An emotional terrorist, the biggest disaster worldwide
He's a pearl, nobody trusts him
He's a pearl, one to handle with care

SONG MEANING

In La Perla, Spain’s boundary-pushing ROSALÍA teams up with Mexican trio Yahritza Y Su Esencia to roast a smooth-talking playboy who shines like a precious pearl but cuts like broken glass. Across biting metaphors and playful Spanglish, the singers sketch a man who dazzles everyone with charm, money he doesn’t have, and an ego the size of the universe. Yet under the glitter lies a “terrorista emocional”: a serial heart-breaker who borrows everything, returns nothing, and blames even his own doppelgänger for the mess he leaves behind.

The song flips the classic love ballad on its head. Instead of swooning, the voices unite in a witty intervention that shouts out every red flag—dishonesty, disloyalty, ghosting, even a trophy collection of stolen bras. By the end, the so-called pearl is exposed as fool’s gold, and listeners are warned to steer clear of anyone who sparkles too hard to be true. Catchy, dramatic, and full of attitude, La Perla is a musical PSA that trusting the wrong shine can cost you your peace of mind.
