KASSANDRA Lyrics (English Translation) – Quevedo

KASSANDRA (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro is a casual and playful greeting to someone, setting a relaxed and upbeat tone for the song.

[Chorus]
The chorus describes a woman living a glamorous life, always surrounded by people but still feeling lonely. Despite being in the spotlight, she seems detached, and even though she’s not married, she wears diamonds as if she were. The singer notices her, and although he had seen her on TV, meeting her in person shows her to be tougher than expected. She may be constantly surrounded by people, but she’s still emotionally alone.

[Verse 1]
In this verse, the singer reflects on his encounter with the woman and wonders why she’s interested in him. He comes from a different world, and everything about her life feels new to him. She shares her story: her father was a Hollywood screenwriter, and her mother was a prominent dancer in the Moscow ballet. Though she lives a privileged life, she doesn’t flaunt it—she’s involved in exclusive, high-end fashion and even gets to preview clothes before they’re released. Despite their differences, the singer feels they might share something deep. He suggests they enjoy the moment together and not be bound by the usual formalities. He encourages her to be herself, without the pressure to look or act a certain way.

[Chorus]
This chorus repeats the earlier sentiments of the woman’s glamorous but lonely existence. She’s always surrounded by people but remains emotionally isolated. Even though she’s not engaged, she wears the same symbols of commitment, like diamonds, showing how appearances can be misleading.

[Verse 2]
In the second verse, the singer reflects on how their lives have changed after that night. The woman still has company around her, but she no longer feels alone like she once did. She’s no longer vacationing in glamorous places like Santorini but has learned to blend in with ordinary people. Her demeanor has softened, and she seems happier, having embraced her own feelings and self-worth.

[Chorus]
In this chorus, the woman’s transformation is clear—she no longer seeks the high-profile lifestyle with afterparties and fashion shows. She is now content being alone, finding fulfillment within herself. She has let go of the idea of marriage and engagement, symbolized by wedding diamonds, and is happy with her independence.

[Outro]
The outro is a simple and sweet farewell, saying “Good night, baby,” wrapping up the song with a personal, intimate touch.
