Ya yo me solté la coleta
I already let my hair down
Quería ir de blanco y fui de violeta
I wanted to go in white and went in violet
La arena que en tus manos la sujetas
The sand that you hold in your hands
Resbala de tus puños si la aprietas
Slips from your fists if you squeeze it
Mejor hablar ahora que
Better to speak now than
Callarme para siempre
To be silent forever
Y puedo decir
And I can say
Que estoy en paz por mi lado
That I'm at peace on my own
No seré tu mitad
I won't be your half
Nunca de tu propiedad
Never your property
Seré mía
I'll be mine
Y de mi libertad
And of my freedom
Lo que se construyó con amor
What was built with love
Es más difícil de incendiar
Is harder to burn down
Pero habrá fuegos que
But there'll be fires that
No podrás apagar
You won't be able to put out
Ya nadie tirará arroz al cielo
No one will throw rice to the sky anymore
Ya no habrá borrachera ni flores
There'll be no more drunkenness nor flowers
Ya no habrá nadie que bendiga
There'll be no one anymore to bless
Un amor que en verdad desconoce
A love they truly don't know
Grabé tu nombre en mis costillas
I engraved your name on my ribs
Pero mi corazón nunca tuvo tus iniciales
But my heart never had your initials
Tarde o temprano el destino te golpea
Sooner or later destiny hits you
Aunque ignores sus señales
Even if you ignore its signs
Tu, 'u me focu 'ranni
You, my great fire
Mi jittaiu 'nt'a lu nenti
I threw myself into nothingness
Pi nun perdiri 'a libbirtà
So as not to lose freedom
E l'amure senza liggi
And love without law
È l'unicu ch'accittassi
Is the only one I'd accept
Mi jettu 'nt'a lu nenti
I throw myself into nothingness
Prima d'abbruciarmi
Before burning myself

focu 'ranni — big fire
Focu 'ranni is a fascinating phrase because it's not standard Spanish; it's Sicilian, meaning "big fire." This unexpected linguistic twist immediately grabs attention and highlights Rosalía's unique artistic choices.
In the song, she uses it to represent a passionate, intense love or situation that, while powerful, also carries the risk of consuming her freedom. The phrase captures the dramatic tension between intense desire and the need for independence, making it a memorable and intriguing choice.
