"Sexo, Violencia y Llantas” by Rosalía - 6 November 2025

The song “Sexo, Violencia y Llantas” by Rosalía is a high-energy, rebellious track that mixes urban beats with her signature flamenco influence. Here’s a breakdown of its meaning:

Title Translation: “Sex, Violence, and Tires” – the words are symbolic rather than literal.
Themes: The song talks about freedom, excess, and living on the edge. It paints a picture of nightlife, fast cars, and chaotic energy, using sex, violence, and car imagery as metaphors for risk, desire, and rebellion.
Tone: It’s both playful and provocative, reflecting a bold, unapologetic attitude. Rosalía often mixes metaphor and storytelling, so the song reads like a cinematic snapshot of a wild, almost chaotic lifestyle.

In short, it’s not meant to glorify literal violence or sex, but to capture a feeling of intensity, excitement, and living life without rules.

Personal Life:

Milei is not married and does not have a spouse, so there is no “first lady” of Argentina under his presidency.

Klaar Hout

Ek kan nie meer nie,
ek weet nie meer nie, Here.
Ek wil verstaan, wil nie meer weet nie.
Ek ken U, ek weet van U,
ek weet U weet net van my.

Ek gaan nie meer.
Ek is dood as ek by U is.
Ek hou van later-taal, ek gebruik dit dikwels.
Ek laai dit, God.

O Here, die hel is hier.
Dis warm, dit vertel ’n storie.
Here, dit is narratief.

Here God, ek verstaan dit nie, ek weet nie.
Ek hou van vloek — God weet, ek sal gestraf word.
Misbruik die woord, ontken die splinters in my oë.
Erken glas wat sny met en tot die dood.
Die kruis is verby, maar God het gelei.
Hy is vry, Here God, vertel my.

Ek wil nie meer nie, die hel is hier.
Dan glo en mis ek al die goeie hier.
Maar Here, U weet: as dit beter gaan,
is dit net plesier, my dier… met die spier.

Ek kom daar aan, ek vra: waar is die hel?
Die een wat die hekkie bewaar, sê daar.
Ek sê toe ek sien waar.
My ma en die haarbrak kom daar aan, sy sê: ek het gesê daar.
Ek sê: ek weet, dis waar.

Ek kom daar aan en voel dis effens koud.
Hulle vra toe dat ek asb moet wag,
want die hout is klaar.
