Rosalíagifts us on October 27 the first song from what has become her most anticipated album to date, LUX. The lead single is titled “Berghain,” and everyone is wondering what it means and what clues it offers about her upcoming record, which will be released on November 7, 2025.
“Berghain” is a name Rosalía first introduced through her Substackaccount. The Catalan artist uploaded a scanned, handwritten sheet of music, and many of her followers began interpreting it—giving us an early glimpse of how the track might sound. The single features Björk and Yves Tumor.
“Berghain” is also the name of one of the world’s most renowned techno clubs, based in Berlin. It’s located in a former power plant between the Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain neighborhoods, and its name is literally an acronym formed from the two. Since its opening in 2004, it has become a global temple of electronic music, and everything that happens inside can only be explained by those who have experienced it.
It’s hard to know what to expect from LUX in general, since the artist told Anda Ya on LOS40 exclusively that this album “doesn’t resemble anything I’ve done before.”
The first theories surrounding “Berghain” as part of LUX align with the initial hints Rosalía has shared about her next studio album. LUX literally means “light” in Latin—the complete opposite of what a techno club with one of the darkest atmospheres intends to embody.
“ROSALÍA explores themes of feminine mysticism, transformation, and spirituality—tracing the arc between illusion and loss, faith and individuality,” her team wrote on her official website. That’s why the concept of Berghain is currently understood as an example of the duality present throughout LUX: the classical meets the modern, light meets darkness.
What Is the Meaning of the Lyrics to “Berghain”?
On October 25, the artist uploaded a short verse to Substack that seems to be part of Berghain, as it is also in German. It reads: “Seine Angst ist meine Angst, Seine Wut ist meine Wut, Seine Liebe ist meine Liebe, Sein Blut ist mein Blut,” which translates to “His fear is my fear, his rage is my rage, his love is my love, his blood is my blood.”
Looking at the complete lyrics—already published on platforms like Genius—we see that Rosalía sings in German, Spanish, and English.
In Berghain, Rosalía explores themes such as desire, vulnerability, and transcendental passion in their most spiritual dimension. Below are the lyrics in English.
Rosalía’s “Berghain”: Full English Lyrics and Translation
His fear is my fear
His rage is my rage
His love is my love
His blood is my blood
The flame pierces into my brain
Like a lead teddy bear
I keep so many things in my heart
That’s why my heart feels so heavy
His fear is my fear
His rage is my rage
His love is my love
His blood is my blood
I know very well what I am
Tenderness for the coffee
I’m nothing but a lump of sugar
I know heat makes me melt
I know how to disappear
When you come, that’s when I go
His fear is my fear
His rage is my rage
His love is my love
His blood is my blood
This is divine intervention
The only way to save us is through divine
Intervention
The only way I will be saved is through divine
Intervention
I’ll fuck you till you love me
I’ll fuck you till you love me
I’ll fuck you till you love me
Till you love me
Till you love me
Till you love me
Till you love me
Till you love me
Love me
Till you
Till you love me
I’ll fuck you till you love me
I’ll fuck you till you love me
Love me
Love me
Love me
Love me
