SAKURA Lyrics in English ROSALÍA

SAKURA blooms with the same fleeting magic as cherry blossoms in spring. In her lyrics, Rosalía compares pop stardom to the flor de sakura—beautiful yet short-lived. She wanders through a city where flowers have no scent and beauty feels plastic, hinting at the superficial gloss that often surrounds fame. By repeating “Ser una popstar nunca te dura,” she reminds us that the spotlight is temporary, so you must savor it rather than fear its end.

Behind the glitter, Rosalía champions fearless authenticity. She laughs at the idea of growing old quietly, mocks those who police female confidence, and embraces the risk of “romper” (breaking) rules and expectations. Just as fire is mesmerizing because it consumes, true artistry shines because it dares to risk everything. SAKURA is both a self-portrait and a rallying cry: celebrate the moment, stay real, and let your brilliance burn bright—even if it lasts only as long as a cherry blossom’s bloom.
