Festival da Canção 2026’s Rosa Portuguese Lyrics English Meaning

The poet behind ‘Rosa’ tells the story of a garden filled with longing. In one line, the narrator says, ‘My love, if I go today, to my garden at nightfall, I’ll find roses there, that remind me of you.’ The roses symbolize a love that once bloomed, now left unwatered and fading into pure yearning.

No silêncio do luarIn the silence of the moonlight,
Sopra o vento devagarthe wind blows slowly.
Traz o cheiro das roseirasIt brings the scent of the rosebushes,
E o teu nome a sussurrarand whispers your name.
Meu amor se hoje forMy love, if I go today,
À noitinha ao meu jardimto my garden at nightfall,
Por lá encontrarei rosasI’ll find roses there,
Fazem-me lembrar de tithat remind me of you.
Não há pressa de onde eu souThere’s no rush where I’m from,
Não há preço p’ra esta calmathere’s no price for this calm.
Se falhei paguei em dobroIf I failed, I paid double,
Sobrou pouco ou quase nadathere’s little or almost nothing left.
Só as rosas que planteiOnly the roses I planted,
Quando a gente era verdadewhen we were true.
Sobrou pouco, eu não regueiThere’s little left, I didn’t water them,
E o jardim virou saudadeand the garden became pure longing.
Meu amor se hoje forMy love, if I go today,
À noitinha ao meu jardimto my garden at nightfall,
Por lá encontrarei rosasI’ll find roses there,
Fazem-me lembrar de tithat remind me of you.
Com saudade do teu beijoLonging for your kiss,
És a rosa mais bonitayou’re the most beautiful rose,
Que brotou ao sul do Tejothat bloomed south of the ‘Tejo’,
Fazem-me lembrar de tithey remind me of you.
Com saudade do teu beijoLonging for your kiss,
