Verse 1
They say that if you were to saw pass by
Death at your side
In the elongated Mercedes
It brings you luck
You've all come
Even my enemies
Today they cry
Throw magnolias on me
Throw magnolias on me
Throw magnolias on me
Throw magnolias on me
Verse 2
Over my coffin, KTMs doing burnouts
Tears and tire rubber melt into the wood
Gasoline and red wine
Cigars and chocolate
Dancing with love above my body
Today we live it up
Defying fate
And what I didn't do in life
You’ll do at my death
Throw magnolias on me
Throw magnolias on me
Throw magnolias on me
Throw magnolias on me
Throw magnolias on me
Throw magnolias on me
Throw magnolias on me
God comes down and I rise
We meet halfway
Verse 3
I’ve taken a stab or two from life
She disarmed me and I'm thankful to her
And scatter brown sugar over my coffin
And stay awake until the light returns
Promise you'll protect me
Me and my name in my absence
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.
