Alibi Lyrics In English Translation – Sevdaliza

[Intro: Pabllo Vittar]
This section sets the tone for the song, highlighting the intertwined nature of love and pain. It suggests that suffering is an intrinsic part of passionate love, hinting at the emotional complexities that will be explored throughout the song.

[Verse 1: Sevdaliza]
Sevdaliza reflects on the struggles women face in a world not designed for their hearts. She questions when one last felt safe in the dark, implying a constant state of vigilance and resilience. Despite these challenges, women continue to rise and endure.

[Pre-Chorus: Sevdaliza]
Sevdaliza describes the deep bond with her partner, who acts as her lifeline and source of strength. This partner becomes essential in moments of weakness, providing support and serving as a justification for actions, even morally ambiguous ones, like the metaphorical "killing a man."

[Chorus: Sevdaliza]
The chorus repeats the admiration for "Rosa," symbolizing beauty and possibly innocence. The repeated phrase "qué linda eres" emphasizes the allure and significance of this person, who also serves as an alibi, blending beauty with a darker connotation.

[Verse 2: Yseult]
Yseult introduces a different perspective, speaking about mental turmoil and longing. She uses affectionate terms and physical intimacy to describe the deep connection with her partner, suggesting a desire for mutual fulfillment and questioning if the partner feels the same intensity.

[Pre-Chorus: Yseult & Sevdaliza]
Yseult continues the theme of profound emotional connection, describing her partner as her "summer," bringing warmth and passion. However, she also acknowledges a cynical view of love and poetry, indicating a love-hate relationship with romantic ideals. Like Sevdaliza, she finds an alibi in her partner.

[Bridge: Pabllo Vittar]
In this section, Pabllo Vittar addresses the cause of suffering directly. There's a bittersweet recognition of the pain caused by love, and an acknowledgment that this person is their "mal querer" or harmful love, yet still essential. The partner remains an alibi, entwining pain and justification.

[Chorus: Sevdaliza]
The final repetition of the chorus reinforces the song's central themes, focusing on the beauty and significance of "Rosa" while reiterating the notion of the partner as an alibi. This repetition solidifies the emotional complexity and the dual nature of the relationship described in the song.
