Rosas Lyrics English Translation by La Original Banda El Limón De Salvador Lizárraga
Xabi San Martín tells the story of a love that lingers despite time and separation. The narrator mentions waiting with tears for their loved one to return with roses. The line ‘hope tells me to stay still, because today might be the day’ highlights the tension of longing.
En un día de estos en que suelo pensarOn one of these days when I’m lost in thought,
Hoy va a ser el día menos pensadotoday will be the day I least expect it.
Nos hemos cruzado, has decidido mirarOur paths have crossed, and you’ve decided to look,
A los ojitos azules que ahora van a tu ladointo the blue eyes of the person who’s by your side now.
Desde el momento en el que te conocíFrom the very moment that I first met you,
Resumiendo con prisas tiempo de silenciohurriedly making up for all the time we spent in silence.
Te juro que a nadie le he vuelto a decirI swear that I haven’t told anyone else since then,
Que tenemos el récord del mundo en querernosthat we hold the world record for loving each other.
Por eso esperaba con la carita empapadaThat’s why I was waiting with my face soaked in tears,
A que llegaras con rosas con mil rosas para mífor you to arrive with roses, with a thousand roses for me.
Porque ya sabes que me encantan esas cosasBecause you already know that I love those kinds of things,
Que no importa si es muy tonto, soy asíand it doesn’t matter if it’s silly, that’s just who I am.
Y aunque parece mentira que se escape mi vidaAnd even though it seems impossible that my life is slipping away,
Imaginando que vuelves a pasarte por aquíimagining that you’re coming back to visit this place again.
Donde los viernes cada tarde, como siempreWhere every Friday afternoon, just like always,
La esperanza dice quieto, hoy quizás síhope tells me to stay still, because today might be the day.
Escapando una noche de un bostezo de solEscaping one night as the sun began to fade,
Me pediste que te diera un besoyou asked me to give you a kiss.
Con lo baratos que salen, mi amorSince they’re so effortless to give, my love,
Qué te cuesta callarme con uno de esoshow hard would it be for you to silence me with one of those?
Pasaron seis meses y me dijiste adiósSix months went by and then you told me goodbye,
Un placer coincidir en esta vidasaying it was a pleasure to cross paths in this life.
Allí me quedé en una mano el corazónI was left standing there with my heart in one hand,
Y en la otra excusas que ni tú entendíasand in the other, excuses that even you didn’t understand.
Por eso esperaba con la carita empapadaThat’s why I was waiting with my face soaked in tears,
A que llegaras con rosas con mil rosas para mífor you to arrive with roses, with a thousand roses for me.
Porque ya sabes que me encantan esas cosasBecause you already know that I love those kinds of things,
Que no importa si es muy tonto, soy asíand it doesn’t matter if it’s silly, that’s just who I am.
Y aunque parece mentira que se escape mi vidaAnd even though it seems impossible that my life is slipping away,
Imaginando que vuelves a pasarte por aquíimagining that you’re coming back to visit this place again.
Donde los viernes cada tarde como siempreWhere every Friday afternoon, just like always,
La esperanza dice quieto hoy quizás síhope tells me to stay still, because today might be the day.
Y es que empiezo a pensarThe truth is, I’m starting to think,
Que el amor verdadero es tan sólo el primerothat true love is only ever the first one.
Y es que empiezo a sospecharAnd I’m starting to suspect,
Que los demás son sólo para olvidarthat all the others are just there to help us forget.
Por eso esperaba con la carita empapadaThat’s why I was waiting with my face soaked in tears,
A que llegaras con rosas con mil rosas para mífor you to arrive with roses, with a thousand roses for me.
Porque ya sabes que me encantan esas cosasBecause you already know that I love those kinds of things,
Que no importa si es muy tonto soy asíand it doesn’t matter if it’s silly, that’s just who I am.
Y aunque parece mentira que se escape mi vidaAnd even though it seems impossible that my life is slipping away,
Imaginando que vuelves a pasarte por aquíimagining that you’re coming back to visit this place again.
Donde los viernes cada tarde, como siempreWhere every Friday afternoon, just like always,
La esperanza dice quieto, hoy quizás síhope tells me to stay still, because today might be the day.
