ROSALÍA – Reliquia Lyrics (English Translation)

I lost my hands in Jerez and my eyes in Rome
I grew up and learned my audacity around Barcelona
I lost my tongue in Paris, my time in LA
My heels in Milan, my smile in the UK

But my heart has never been mine, I always give it away, ooh
Take a piece of me, keep it for when I’m gone
I’ll be your relic

I’m your relic
I’ll be your relic

I lost my faith in DC, and my friend in Bangkok
A bad love in Madrid, and the blunt in Mexico
My bad temper in Berlin and my art in Granada
Courage was born in PR, but heaven was born in Buenos Aires

I cried in Japan and my eyelashes frayed
And it was in the City of Glass that I got a bad haircut
But hair grows back, purity too
Purity is in me and it’s in Marrakech
No, no, I’m not a saint, but I’m blessed

But my heart has never been mine, I always give it away, ooh
Take a piece of me, keep it for when I’m gone
I’ll be your relic

I’m your relic
I’ll be your relic

Running away from here, like I ran from Florida
We’re dolphins leaping, coming in and going out
In the scarlet and glittering hoop of time
It’s just a moment, it’s just a moment
Eternal and wild sea, the eternal song
It has neither an exit nor my forgiveness
