Renacer Lyrics (English Translation) – Lia Kali & Toni Anzis
[Verse 1: Lia Kali]
You left earlier than I expected
I saw how you clapped for others
They dance for you, they think they’re your forever
And I don’t play with death anymore
I don’t believe in dreams that don’t go wrong
I believe in fighting it despite my thirteen
I believe in singing until this noise stops
Every night I think about how we’re going to fall
I do it scared, I don’t want to lose you
Even so I don’t fail, look at the nerve
We took a piece of paper from the ruins
So that my skin doesn’t get stained with ink
For the good and the bad, it always comes out expensive
[Chorus: Lia Kali]
Come back, come back, come back
What hurt yesterday
Dies, dies, dies
Swearing to be reborn
Come back, come back, come back
What hurt yesterday
Dies, dies, dies
Swearing to be reborn
[Verse 2: Lia [Kali]
More and more problems, I feed many
Poison and medicine to stir
What I have is the blood that makes me create
The same thing that pisses me off makes me fly
I can’t be satisfied, I always want more
Fuck, I don’t have enough time, but I want more
If what gives me life doesn’t steal my life
What would it matter to me not to be able to sing
Don’t you see that I’m rotting
A lot of luxury and little time
I don’t recognize this
It’s not how the rest see it
That what is pure is not eternal
They cut it when there is money
We never took it for granted but
We wanted to be the first
[Chorus: Lia Kali]
Come back, come back, come back
What hurt yesterday
Dies, dies, dies
Swearing to be reborn
Come back, come back, come back
What hurt yesterday
Dies, dies, dies
Swearing to be reborn
[Outro: Lia Kali]
Swearing to be reborn
Swearing to be reborn
Meaning of Renacer by Lia Kali & Toni Anzis
[Verse 1: Lia Kali]
Lia Kali opens the song by reflecting on unexpected abandonment and the sorrow of someone moving on too quickly. She observes this person surrounded by admirers who mistakenly believe in permanence, contrasting her own hard-earned understanding of life’s transience. The line “Y yo que ya no juego con la muerte” reveals her personal growth, hinting at past struggles with self-destructive behaviors. Instead of relying on blind optimism, she emphasizes perseverance, using her past pain as creative inspiration. The metaphor of ink and paper illustrates her refusal to let suffering taint her spirit; instead, she channels it into her art, showcasing her resilience.
[Chorus: Lia Kali]
The chorus acts as a powerful mantra for healing and renewal. By repeatedly saying “vuelve” (return), she expresses a desire to reclaim lost parts of herself while proclaiming that past pain “se muere” (dies). This interplay between longing and release captures the struggle of moving forward. The phrase “Jurando renacer” (swearing to be reborn) encapsulates the central theme: despite deep suffering, rebirth is always possible. The cyclical nature of the lyrics mirrors the emotional ups and downs of healing, reinforcing that growth arises from embracing both pain and renewal.
[Verse 2: Lia Kali]
In the second verse, Kali explores her internal struggles more deeply. She acknowledges the pressures of supporting others while grappling with her own demons. The duality of “Veneno y medicina para revolver” (poison and medicine to mix) suggests that her challenges fuel her creativity but also take their toll. She expresses a constant yearning for more, caught between ambition and the fear of losing herself. The lyrics critique the industry’s exploitation of authenticity, highlighting how true purity is often sacrificed for profit. Yet, her unwavering drive to excel reflects her indomitable spirit.
[Chorus: Lia Kali]
The chorus reappears, reinforcing the message of transformation. The repetition underscores the process of letting go of old wounds and embracing a new self, echoing the belief that pain is temporary and renewal is inevitable.
[Outro: Lia Kali]
The song concludes with a haunting repetition of “Jurando renacer,” leaving listeners with a sense of resilience. This final statement encapsulates the journey of acknowledging and confronting suffering, ultimately emerging stronger. By ending on this note, Lia Kali emphasizes that rebirth is an ongoing process requiring faith, perseverance, and the courage to let go.
