[English]

It will be like this, your way

Like the east wind

With my soul leading the way

Without even saying goodbye

It will be like this, without you caring

Not about the extinguished candles

Nor the love in the early hours

What a way to end

What a great actress

I have to tear you out by the roots

And then cast you to the wind

Because I don’t want to think

If you burn me again

Rose of fire

I have to tear you out by the roots

And then cast you to the wind

Because I don’t want to think

If you burn me again

Rose of fire

Let me cut you from my soul

Let me fly and be happy

It will be like this, your way

Like the thread and the scissors

Like the fire and the wood

Without even looking at each other, goodbye

It will be like this, without you caring

Not about the extinguished candles

Nor the love in the early hours

What a way to end

What a great actress

I have to tear you out by the roots

And then cast you to the wind

Because I don’t want to think

If you burn me again

Rose of fire

I have to tear you out by the roots

And then cast you to the wind

Because I don’t want to think

If you burn me again

Rose of fire

Let me cut you from my soul

Let me fly and be happy

I have to tear you out by the roots

And then cast you to the wind

Because I don’t want to think

If you burn me again

Rose of fire

[Spanish]

Así será, a tu manera

Como el viento de levante

Con el alma por delante

Sin decirnos ni siquiera adiós

Así será, sin importarte

Ni las velas apagadas

Ni el amor de madrugada

Qué manera de acabar

Qué gran actriz

Yo te tengo que arrancar de raíz

Y lanzarte al viento luego

Porque no quiero pensar

Si me vuelves a quemar

Rosa de fuego

Yo te tengo que arrancar de raíz

Y lanzarte al viento luego

Porque no quiero pensar

Si me vuelves a quemar

Rosa de fuego

Déjame cortarte de mi alma

Déjame volar y ser feliz

Así será, a tu manera

Como el hilo y la tijera

Como el fuego y la madera

Sin mirarnos tan siquiera, adiós

Así será, sin importarte

Ni las velas apagadas

Ni el amor de madrugada

Qué manera de acabar

Qué gran actriz

Yo te tengo que arrancar de raíz

Y lanzarte al viento luego

Porque no quiero pensar

Si me vuelves a quemar

Rosa de fuego

Yo te tengo que arrancar de raíz

Y lanzarte al viento luego

Porque no quiero pensar

Si me vuelves a quemar

Rosa de fuego

Déjame cortarte de mi alma

Déjame volar y ser feliz

Yo te tengo que arrancar de raíz

Y lanzarte al viento luego

Porque no quiero pensar

Si me vuelves a quemar

Rosa de fuego
