StrawberryBlond 15,057 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I think the translated lyrics of Rosalia's Hentai really takes the cake. I don't get why this song got so much praise. I can only imagine that the listeners don't actually understand Spanish: "I want to ride you like my bike, make me a tape like Spike I beat it until it got stiff, in second place, f**king you, in first place, God So so so so so so good, good, good, so so so good, so so so good, so so so good, so good, so good I'm in love with your gun, red poppy, crash that wave, it almost controls me I want to ride you like my bike, make me a tape like Spike Expensive, like he's got a diamond on the tip, he always puts me ahead of those hoes So so so so so so good, good, good, so so so good, so so so good, so so so good, so good, so good Baby, I want to eat you up now, now I want to make you hentai, I want to make you hentai, I want to make you hentai, make you hentai, hentai" In a video she did for Genius, she spoke of the lyric about riding someone like a bike like it was a lyric she'd personally invented that needed explained, as if it wasn't a phrase that had been around for decades. And had to explain these lyrics as if they were so profound and she thinks they're subtley sexual as opposed to explicit. Her debut clearly proved she was a highly talented lyricst, so I don't know how she went from El mal querer, which was about such a mature expression of sexuality to this. 7 hours ago, Monstermilo said: the lyrics about a something, something, sexy baby seems like pedophili@ is okay as long as u have a lot of fans.

I don't know what the context is of the original quote but the fact it's a cultural reference changes things. I don't think it was in any way a super recognisible phrase for the public, at large, though, as everyone else seemed equally baffled and those who haven't researched it still do. I'm honestly surprised the intention of this lyric wasn't made loud and clear from the beginning as that's not a line that you want people misinterpreting.

Reading the lyrics : wait, so basically naming any luxury brands she wears ???? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
