They say if you ever see
Death at your side
In the stretched Mercedes
It brings you luck
Everybody's come
Even my enemies
They cry today
Throw me magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Over my casket
KTMs burning rubber
Tears and rubber melt
On the wood
Gasoline and red wine
Cigars and chocolate
Dancing with love
On top of my corpse
We splurge today
Cheating fate
And what I didn't do in life
You do it at my death
Throw me magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Throw me magnolias
Throw me magnolias
God descends
And I ascend
We meet
In the middle
One or two knife wounds
I've taken from life
She disarmed me
And I'm grateful to her
And throw brown sugar
Over my casket
And stay awake
Till the light comes back again
Promise you'll protect me
Me and my name while I'm gone
I, who come from the stars
Today I turn to dust
To go back with them

SONG MEANING

Ever wondered what a funeral could feel like a block-party? Magnolias invites us to watch ROSALÍA stage her own farewell, swapping tears for roaring KTM engines, red wine, gasoline and fistfuls of sweet-smelling flowers. She sings from inside her imaginary coffin, playfully asking friends and even enemies to shower her with magnolias while they dance, smoke cigars and melt rubber in her honor. The usual gloom of death is flipped into a vivid, cinematic spectacle where luxury cars glide by, chocolate mixes with tears, and the beat insists that life is meant to be lived ‑- and celebrated ‑- to the fullest.

Beneath the flashy visuals, ROSALÍA offers a spiritual wink. She pictures God descending while she ascends, turning her body to stardust so she can reunite with the cosmos. The message: death is not the end, it is another transformation. By asking listeners to protect her name in her absence, she reminds us that legacy matters as much as life itself. Magnolias is therefore a rebellious, flamenco-tinted anthem about embracing mortality with gratitude, turning grief into fiesta and ensuring our stories keep blooming long after we are gone.
