Mundo Nuevo Lyrics in English by ROSALÍA
renegar is a powerful verb that means "to renounce," "to disown," or "to strongly deny" something. It carries a much heavier emotional weight than simply saying you don't like something.
In the song, ROSALÍA expresses a deep wish: "quisiera yo renegar de este mundo por entero" (I would like to renounce this entire world). She uses this dramatic word to convey her total dissatisfaction and desire to escape, hoping to find more truth in a new world. It's a very poetic and intense way to express a longing for change.
ROSALÍA goes straight for the dramatic jugular here. Right away, she is ready to throw the whole planet in the trash: "Ya quisiera, quisiera yo renegar / De este mundo por entero" ("I'd really like to renounce / this entire world"). The Spanish verb renegar packs serious bite. It means to disown or repudiate something with absolute disgust, the way you might disown a toxic relative. She doesn't want a quick vacation or a quiet weekend away; she wants to cancel her subscription to our current reality altogether.
Then she brings family into the plea, crying out to her mother with "Madre de mi corazón" ("Mother of my heart"), an affectionate Spanish phrase that turns her existential crisis into a personal confession. Her desperate plan is simple: "Volver de nuevo a habitar / Por ver si en un mundo nuevo yo encontraba más verdad" ("To start living all over again / To see if in a new world I found more truth"). She wants a complete cosmic reset button, hoping a brand-new planet might finally offer some honesty instead of the lies she is clearly sick of hearing.
