Lyrics to ‘La Perla’ by Rosalía, Yahritza y Su Esencia
Hello thief of peace
Minefield for my sensitivity
Playboy, a champion
Spend the money you have and also the money you don’t
He’s so charming, star of unreason
A mirage, Olympic gold medal for the most bastard
You have the podium of great disappointment
The local disappointment
national heartthrob
An emotional terrorist
The world’s greatest disaster
It’s a pearl, no one trusts it
It is a pearl, one of great care

The king of 13 14
He doesn’t know what it means to quote
He is the center of the world
And then what else will it matter?
You finally go to therapy, you go to a psychologist and also a psychiatrist.
But what good is it if you always lie more than you talk?
They will make you a monument to dishonesty
I don’t feel sorry for you
Whoever is left with you is drained
He always invites himself
If you can, live in someone else’s house
Red flag walking, tremendous disaster
He will say that it wasn’t him, that it was his doppelgänger
Never lend him anything, he won’t give it back
Being a loose cannon is his specialty
Loyalty and fidelity
It’s a language you will never understand
Her masterpiece, her bra collection
If you ask for help it will disappear
The local disappointment
national heartthrob
An emotional terrorist
The world’s greatest disaster
It’s a pearl, no one trusts it
It is a pearl, one of great care
Video for ‘La Perla’ by Rosalía, Yahritza y Su Esencia
We still don’t have the official video for this spiteful hit, but recently the Catalan artist made a presentation on ‘The Late Night Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’, with a staging that gave shape to the song in a dramatic and iconic way.
Rosalía appears on a pile of mattresses and baroque sheets, wearing a jewel from the line bridal of Vivienne Westwood: a short ivory dress with a strapless neckline, a draped corset, a balloon skirt and a back train attached to a delicate veil, which she styled with semi-transparent white stockings and pointed single-strap pumps decorated with pearls.
