La Casa de Papel (Rap La Rue) (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Part 1]
The first part paints a picture of a guy who’s cool under pressure, like a scene straight out of a chaotic video game. He’s telling his friend not to act like a hero because this life isn’t a movie—it’s serious. He’s living life on his own terms, staying calm and focused on his plan, just like the crew in *La Casa de Papel*. Even when he’s not around, people notice him—he naturally stands out. Whether he’s rolling in a fancy Ferrari or riding an old bike, he stays grounded and doesn’t let material stuff define him. He’s already made his moves financially, thinking ahead. He doesn’t care if people think he’s chasing fame or money—he’s just here to prove a point. He’s come a long way from being overlooked to now being on top. Despite success, he sticks to his roots—writing lyrics, chilling with friends, sharing smokes. He’s proud of where he came from and doesn’t want fame to change him.

[Hook]
This part is all about chasing big dreams—like having a mansion full of cash, just like in the heist series *La Casa de Papel*. He’s always on the move, chasing goals and disappearing before anyone can catch up. Even though he’s almost at the finish line, happiness still feels out of reach. He’s got what he wished for, but there’s an empty feeling inside that success can’t fill.

[Part 2]
Here, he’s saying how things have flipped—what was once looked down on is now cool. He used to wear hand-me-downs, now he’s a trendsetter in designer clothes with a shining chain. His rap flow is quick and clever, inspired by legends like Method Man, and he wants everyone to know who the real champ is. He’s not just a student of the game—he’s the one teaching it now. But sometimes he shows too much of himself and regrets it. He’s always been loyal to his crew, even from school days, but he still doesn’t know exactly what he’s trying to achieve with music fame. He didn’t end up in some fancy job or big career; he had dreams of becoming a soccer star. He came from a cold, rough place, spending nights in arcades, just chilling, sipping wine, and asking casually for something like a Sanpellegrino—it shows he’s still got simple tastes despite his rise.

[Hook]
He keeps repeating that all he really wants is wealth and success, comparing it again to the high-stakes lifestyle in *La Casa de Papel*. He’s got his plan, makes his moves, then disappears. He’s super close to reaching his dream, but somehow that joy he expected still isn’t there. He tells his mom he’s got everything he ever wanted—money, fame, recognition—but there’s still a piece of happiness missing. No matter how many times he reaches higher, that feeling doesn’t seem to come.
