Catalina
Rosalia Lyrics

The lyrics of Rosalía's song 'Catalina' are a heartfelt plea for a person to leave the singer in peace. The phrase "Quítate de mi presencia que me estás martirizando" translates to "Get out of my presence, you're torturing me." The song then goes on to express a sense of nostalgia and regret as the singer remembers things that they were forgetting. The lyric "Ya la memoria me trae cosas que estaba olvidando" translates to "My memory is bringing back things I had forgotten."

The title of the song 'Catalina' is only mentioned in the chorus where the singer asks Catalina to "Ponme la mano aquí" which means "Put your hand here." This is likely a plea for comfort and warmth as the lyric "Ponme la mano aquí que la tienes fría" translates to "Put your hand here, it's cold." Catalina is likely a person close to the singer.

The song then takes a darker turn as the singer contemplates suicide. They mention a person ("La china que tenía") who has gone to Germany and not returned, and express a desire to go to Germany themselves but not to have fun. The lyric "A tomar un veneno, yo quiero morirme" translates to "I want to take a poison, I want to die." The repeating chorus of "Ponme la mano aquí que la tienes fría" adds to the sense of sadness and desperation in the song.

Overall, 'Catalina' is a song that explores themes of loss, nostalgia, and utter despair. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is hurting and reaching out for any form of comfort or connection, even in the face of dark thoughts and emotions.
