ROSALÍA - DI MI NOMBRE (Cap.8: Éxtasis) (English Translation)
Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Yali ya
Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Yali ya
[Verse 1]
Say my name
When no one's around you
When no one’s around you
When no one's around you
May the things
May the things you say to me
May the things you say to me
Not get out this door
[Pre-Chorus]
And tie me with your hair
To the corner of the bed
That even if the hair breaks
I will pretend that I'm tied
That even if the hair breaks
I will pretend that I’m tied
[Chorus]
Ay, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Yali ya
Ay, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Yali ya
Ay, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Yali ya
Say my name
Put your body against mine
And make the bad be good; impure the blessed
[Pre-Chorus]
Make me pray on top of your body
And in the corner of your bed
And in the last moment say my name to my face
And in the last moment say my name to my face
[Chorus]
(Ay, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Yali ya)
(Ay, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Yali ya)
(Ay, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Yali ya)
(Ay, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Yali ya)
Ay, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Yali ya
Ay, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Yali ya
Ay, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Yali ya
Ay, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Yali ya
[Outro]
(Ay, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Yali ya)

It’s a very flamenco vibe, very traditional, [but] the structure is very pop. It’s about this connection between two people; the sexual moment. The lyrics—'Say my name, say my name'—I’m such a big fan of Destiny’s Child. [It’s] paying tribute to all these artists I heard when I was a teenager.
