Ela Minus releases “QQQQ,” the final off her forthcoming album DÍA, available January 17th via Domino Records. “QQQQ” captures disappointment and detachment with candor and gravity, reflecting the sense of self-reflection and private reckoning found throughout DÍA, as she sings “Lately I’ve been feeling / that we are all agreeing / this is the end / but if we are going to give up / might as well end it here / Let the world end now.” Ela Minus will kick off her upcoming tour this Friday, January 17th at a special homecoming release day show in Bogotá, Colombia at Planetario de Bogotá.

“QQQQ”

SPANISH TRANSLATION
si va a ser así,
que se acabe el mundo.
si va a ser así,
que se acabe el mundo.

últimamente siento que
todos estamos de acuerdo en que esto es
el fin de los tiempos
y si vamos a dejarnos ir
yo prefiero que se acabe aquí.

si va a ser así,
que se acabe el mundo.
si lo que veo es el fin
que se acabe el mundo.

que se acabe aquí
que se acabe aquí
que se acabe aquí
que se acabe aquí
que se acabe aquí
que se acabe aquí

que se acabe el mundo. ENGLISH TRANSLATION
If it’s going to be like this,
Let the world end.
Let the world end.

Lately I’ve been feeling
that we are all agreeing

this is the end
but if we are going to give up,
Might as well end it here.
Let the world end now.

If it’s going to be like this,
Let the world end.
If what i’m looking at is “it”
Let it all end.
Let it end here, right now.
Let the world end.
Let it end here, now.
Let it end here, now
Let it end here, now
Let the world end.
