I lost my hands in Jerez

And my eyes in Rome

I grew up and learned nerve

Over in Barcelona

I lost my tongue in Paris

My time in L.A

My heels in Milan

My smile in the U.K

But my heart has never been mine

I always give it away

Take a piece of me

Keep it for when I'm gone

I'll be your relic

I'm your relic

I'll be your relic

I lost faith in D.C

A friend in Bangkok

A bad love in Madrid

And in Mexico the blunt

The bad temper in Berlin

And the art in Granada

In P.R. courage was born

But the sky was born in Buenos Aires

In Japan I cried

And unraveled my lashes

And in the crystal city

That's where I chopped my hair

But hair grows back

Does purity too?

Purity lives in me

And in Marrakech

I'm no saint but I'm blessed

But my heart has never been mine

I always give it away

Take a piece of me

Keep it for when I'm gone

I'll be your relic

I'm your relic

I'll be your relic

Running away from here

Like I ran from Florida

We're dolphins leaping

Diving in and out

Through the scarlet ring

Bright and made of time

It's just a moment

Fierce endless sea

The endless song

Has no way out

Nor my forgiveness

SONG MEANING

Reliquia feels like a whirlwind travel diary where ROSALÍA pins pieces of her soul to every city she visits. From losing her hands in Jerez to misplacing her smile in the U.K., each lyric shows how life on the road chips away at her senses, habits and memories. Yet she sings with playful pride, almost collecting these losses as souvenirs. The refrain "Seré tu reliquia" ("I will be your relic") flips the idea of damage into devotion: the fragments she surrenders become treasured keepsakes for the listener.

Under the globe-trotting imagery lies a deeper message about generosity and resilience. No matter what she sacrifices—faith in D.C., love in Madrid, or patience in Berlin—ROSALÍA’s heart remains open, ready to give again. The song reminds us that identity can be scattered across continents, but purity and courage are still within reach, growing back like hair after an impulsive cut. Reliquia celebrates imperfection, turning every scar and lost moment into proof of a life lived boldly and shared freely.
