There are stories that go beyond songs, stories that linger at the door of the finale of Benidorm Festival. The truth is that drama has stirred rumors across the Spanish-speaking lesbian community in recent months, and while some shrug it off as gossip, others wanted to know who the stars actually were. The spark arrived when a few prominent influencers joined the conversation. Dulceida and Alba Paul spoke openly, saying they needed to step back for a time, then they reconciled. Yet what happened during the quiet moments in between remained a topic of conversation. The chatter suggested a summer anthem about revenge, a track nicknamed Marlena, not to be confused with María and Elena, Ana Legazpi and Carolina Moyano. The year carried a vibe that, while not exactly akin to Park Chan-wook’s celebrated trilogy, aimed to push Spain into Eurovision with a song steeped in themes of retribution.
“Satisfaction mode is on” was the phrase associated with Alba Paul as the group she introduced in Benidorm released their summer single “Summer Love.” The act did not advance past the second semi-final last night. Rumors swirled that a scandalous link existed between Dulceida and Ana Legazpi during a period described as a time of quiet rest for Alba.
STOP WORSE THAN HIM
Rumors hinted that Ana Legazpi struggled to adapt to the strain within a marriage that had begun to fracture. She publicly hinted at the end of the relationship during a concert, sending a message that carried a hopeful wish for happiness in the future. Marlena appeared uneasy with the ongoing speculation, stepping back as discussions moved toward other themes. Experts noted that the accompanying material for the Summer Love track contained veins of drama and intrigue, fueling the perception that the lyrics carried a real-life echo for many listeners.
“Summer Love” lyrics
We look so cute
We eat slowly
They are talking behind your back
I do not care
We look so cute
We eat slowly
I’m sitting on the cloud
you blow me away
But I do not know you
And you don’t know me
I’ll leave a sign in every port
But you don’t know me
And I don’t know you
And we’ll give each other a viral kiss
Your friends will tell you to be careful
What should you know if you fell in love?
This won’t even have started when you hold my hand
I still haven’t caught you and you’ve already killed me
We look so cute
We eat slowly
They are talking behind your back
I do not care
we look at each other Very sweet
We eat slowly
I’m sitting on the cloud
you blow me away
But I do not know you
And you don’t know me
I’ll leave a sign in every port
But you don’t know me
And I don’t know you
And we’ll give each other a viral kiss
You and me
That summer love hasn’t passed yet
But I don’t care
If I will have already forgotten you in September
You and me
That summer love hasn’t passed yet
But I don’t care
If September came and I fell in love
We look so cute
We eat slowly
They are talking behind your back
I do not care
We look so cute
We eat slowly
I’m sitting on the cloud
you blow me away
Oh tell me how and when
I saw that ass pass by
I don’t know if it was that dance, that beach or that bar
I have a whole reel
very good material
I know there are four kisses
Now let’s see what will happen
We look so cute
We eat slowly
They are talking behind your back
I do not care
We look so cute
We eat slowly
I’m sitting on the cloud
you blow me away
But I do not know you
And you don’t know me
Attendance for the second semi-final of Benidorm Fest increased: 34,000 more spectators

I’ll leave a sign in every port
But you don’t know me
And I don’t know you
And we will give ourselves a viral kiss
But I do not know you
