lyrics

(la cocina)

Everybody's shouting and nobody's angry
Mi tia asks when I'm getting married, right on cue
You said "in two years" before I could answer
And the entire kitchen turned and looked at you

La cocina, la cocina (la cocina)
Everything decided in la cocina
Nobody asked me, la cocina
La cocina

La cocina, la cocina, la cocina, la cocina
They decided about you in the first nine minutes
La cocina, la cocina, la cocina, la cocina
Abuela gave you the good plate and that's the ending

You learned the four syllables off the passport photo
You practised in a car so nobody would hear
Mi abuela heard you anyway, through a wall, in Spanish
And has not stopped talking about it since last year

When she goes, this kitchen becomes a room.
That's the fear. That's the actual fear underneath all of it.
So say yes in here. While it's still a kitchen.

La cocina, la cocina, la cocina, la cocina
They decided about you in the first nine minutes
La cocina, la cocina, la cocina, la cocina
Abuela gave you the good plate and that's the ending

(la cocina...)
