¿Cuántas peleas recuerdan
Las líneas de mis manos?
¿Cuántas historias caben
Metidas en 21 gramos?
Tú que estás lejos
Y a la vez más cerca
Tú que estás lejos
Y a la vez más cerca
Que mi propia vena yugular
من أجلك أدمر السماء
من أجلك أهدم الجحي
فال وعود
وال وعيد
Mira yo no tengo tiempo
Para odiar a lucifer
Estoy demasiado ocupada
Amándote a ti Undibel
Mi corazón
Que siempre está en una carrera
Estoy cortando las flores
Antes de que sea primavera
Donde atan los caballos
Los míos bien amarrados
La sangre y la suerte
Aquí me han arrastrado
Tu amor es una avalancha
Cae por su propio peso al existir
Ayer, hoy y mañana
La nieve en la que me quiero hundir
من أجلك أدمر السماء
من أجلك أهدم الجحي
فال وعود
وال وعيد
Yo quepo en el mundo
Y el mundo cabe en mí
Yo ocupo el mundo
Y el mundo me ocupa a mí
Yo quepo en un haiku
Y un haiku ocupa un país
Un país cabe en una astilla
Una astilla ocupa la galaxia entera
La galaxia entera cabe en una gota de saliva
Una gota de saliva ocupa la 5a avenida
La 5a avenida cabe en un piercing
Un piercing ocupa una pirámide
Y una pirámide cabe en un vaso de leche
Y un vaso de leche ocupa un ejército
Y un ejército cabe metido en una pelota de golf
Y una pelota de golf ocupa el Titanic
El Titanic cabe en un pintalabios
Un pintalabios ocupa el cielo
El cielo es la espina
Una espina ocupa un continente
Y un continente no cabe en Él
Pero Él cabe en mi pecho
Y mi pecho ocupa su amor
Y en su amor me quiero perder
7 heavens
Big deal
I wanna see the 8th heaven
10th heaven
Thousandth heaven
You know, it's like
Break on through the other side
It's just like going through one door
One door isn't enough
A million doors aren't enough
Las líneas de mis manos?

OMG, bad bunny and rosalía all day long... There's no escape from them here in Spain, RP used to be, but now it's falling in the mainstream, so sad...
I heard somewhere the album is based on a famous book of romantic poetry in Spain. Whatever, I have no idea what she's singing about, but it makes my ears happy.
The English spoken part at the end talking about the Thousandth heaven makes me think of Flatland, A Romance of Many Dimensions, a book written by Edwin Abbott in 1884 about a 2 dimensional being that lives in a 2 dimensional world. He interacts with a 1 dimensional world that can't understand a second dimension. Later he is taken out of his 2D world into a 3D world. His mind is blown. But immediately he wants to know what the 4D world looks like and imagines that there must be infinite dimensions. His 3D friend hypocritically thinks this is ridiculous.
Anyhow, its a fantastic book, and seems pretty ahead of its time from 140 years ago.

Another amazing song from an excellent album, which linurbug already described very well in a previous post. Musically and lyrically complex.
The Arabic lyrics in this song are referencing the poetry of the Sufi mystic Rabia Basri. As linburg already mentioned, Rosalía sings in over a dozen different languages on LUX.
Her lyrics near the end where she juxtaposes the vast with the minute, each fitting within and filling each other, are to me a very compelling example of Rosalía's skill with poetic imagery and her outstanding ability to convey emotion with her voice. Beautiful.
The end of the song is spoken by Patti Smith. Rosalía is acknowledging the previous generation of groundbreaking women who influenced her, as she did by asking Björk to join her on the song Berghain.

Major garbage.
I appreciate the voice, the different pace of the song and its weirdness.
I do, however, think this album has been written to please Pitchfork critics, which only praise very weird music.

Very interesting song, even if I don't understand the non-english lyrics.

Bill - Nice segue to The Doors, Waiting for the Sun... :)

Based on the comments I have seen on RP, it seems like many of the negative reactions to Roslia come from listeners in Spain. The praise seems to be stronger from those outside Spain. Can't say why, just curious...

Yes, a fantastic album! Most appreciated once you understand her themes of "feminine mystique, transformation and spirituality" inspired by female saints. Rosalia was interested in exploring other cultures and researched , wrote lyrics and sang in 14 different languages, huge effort. She's pushing boundaries on this album, who does pop/ classical? Created over 2-3 years, recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra, it.s an aural treat. Listen on headphones or with great speakers.
William, that was kind of subtle- following the final lyrics of this song "Break on through the other side,………, one door isn't enough, a million doors aren't enough" and segueing into Doors "Break on Through (To the Other Side.") Loved it, thank you.
This is an amazing album.

one of the most beautiful albums of the year for me. I have seen it described as a "spiritual odyssey" and I agree, incredibly powerful and beautiful ❤️
This is an amazing album.
nah. She sucks.
