James BlakeROSALÍABarefoot in the Park Lyrics
[Verse 1: ROSALÍA]
Agujerito del cielo
Cuelando el brillo de Dios
Un rayo cayó en tus ojo'
Y me partió el corazón
Agujerito del cielo
Díctame por dónde ir
Para yo no equivocarme
Y así ver mi porvenir
[Pre-Chorus: James Blake, Both]
When you're done with me
I see a negative space
What you've done for me
Who needs to hallucinate?
Who needs to pray? Who?
Who needs balance? I'll see you every day
[Chorus: James Blake & ROSALÍA]
Barefoot in the park
You start rubbing off on me
Barefoot in the park
You start rubbing off on me
[Verse 2: ROSALÍA, Both]
Ya tengo to' lo que quiero
Ya no puedo pedir má'
Cuando te tengo a mi la'o
Lo pasa'o se queda atrá'
Si te apartan de mi vera
Y te tuviera que encontrar
Hasta allá te encontraría
Como el río va a la mar
[Chorus: James Blake & ROSALÍA]
Barefoot in the park
You start rubbing off on me
Barefoot in the park
You start rubbing off on me
[Bridge: James Blake]
Saturn starts turning off each ring
Sky's locking up I think
I call off the chase
Who needs balance? I'll see you every day
[Chorus: ROSALÍA, Both]
Barefoot in the park
You start rubbing off on me
Barefoot in the park
You start rubbing off on me
[Outro]
You start-you start rubbing off-rubbing off on me-off on me
Barefoot in-barefoot in the park-in the park
You start-you start rubbing off-rubbing off on me-off on me

What did James Blake say about "Barefoot in the Park"?
My manager played me [ROSALÍA’s 2017 debut] Los Ángeles, and I honestly hadn’t heard anything so vulnerable and raw and devastating in quite a while. She came to the studio, and within a day we’d made two or three things. I loved the sound of our voices together.

Are there any samples in this song?
Barefoot in the Park seems to sample an old Irish folk song called “Fíl a Run Ó”, as an Irish radio DJ discovered. The version of Fíl a Run Ó (which translates to “Return, My Love”) that is sampled here was originally performed by singer Valerie Armstrong in 1971, when she was 13 years old, on RTE p...
What inspired the song?
The inspiration behind “Barefoot in the Park” was the film with the same name because, to my understanding, and the irony is I’ve actually never seen this film, which is terrible. So terrible that I’m even admitting that. The premise, I believe, is that a man who is pretty uncomfortable, pretty anxi...
How did the song come about?
It started with a sound pool Dom brought in by this harpist and singer named Valerie Johnson, who I believe to be Irish. It’s an Irish folksong that she’s playing. I believe the original recording was from 1971. This sound pool was immediately beautiful. It’s slightly pitched up from the original re...
How did you link up with Rosalía?
Rosalia has a very youthful voice. She has a remarkable tone to her voice that actually reminds me a tiny bit of Valerie but, obviously, Spanish and influenced by flamenco. I think it was a strange cultural triangle that was formed there, between Spain, Ireland, and England, or even California. Mayb...
What's your favorite part of the song?
My favorite part of this song is her ad-lib during the second verse. That’s my favorite part. She added those in quite late in the process and it made the thing feel a little bit more alive, and I loved it.
