Rosas

• By: La Oreja de Van Gogh

Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

En un día de estos en que suelo pensar

On one of those days when I tend to think

Hoy va a ser el día menos pensado

Today will be the most unexpected day

Nos hemos cruzado, has decidido mirar

We crossed paths, you decided to look

A los ojitos azules que ahora van a tu lado

Into the little blue eyes that are now by your side

Desde el momento en el que te conocí

From the moment I met you

Resumiendo con prisas, tiempo de silencio

Summarizing quickly, a time of silence

Te juro que a nadie le he vuelto a decir

I swear I haven't told anyone again

Que tenemos el récord del mundo en querernos

That we hold the world record in loving each other

Por eso esperaba con la carita empapada

That's why I waited with my little face soaked

Que llegaras con rosas (con mil rosas para mí)

For you to arrive with roses (with a thousand roses for me)

Porque ya sabes que me encantan esas cosas

Because you already know I love those things

Que no importa si es muy tonto, soy así

That it doesn't matter if it's very silly, that's how I am

Y aún me parece mentira que se escape mi vida

And it still seems like a lie that my life is slipping away

Imaginando que vuelves (a pasarte por aquí)

Imagining that you come back (to stop by here)

Donde los viernes cada tarde, como siempre

Where every Friday afternoon, as always

La esperanza dice "quieta, hoy quizás sí"

Hope says "stay still, maybe today yes"

...

...

Escapando una noche de un bostezo de sol

Escaping one night from a yawn of sun

Me pediste que te diera un beso

You asked me to give you a kiss

Con lo baratos que salen, mi amor

With how cheap they are, my love

¿Qué te cuesta callarme con uno de esos?

What does it cost you to silence me with one of those?

Pasaron seis meses y me dijiste adiós

Six months passed and you said goodbye to me

Un placer coincidir en esta vida

A pleasure to coincide in this life

Ahí me quedé, en una mano el corazón

There I stayed, with the heart in one hand

Y en la otra, excusas que ni tú entendías

And in the other, excuses that even you didn't understand

Por eso esperaba con la carita empapada

That's why I waited with my little face soaked

Que llegaras con rosas (con mil rosas para mí)

For you to arrive with roses (with a thousand roses for me)

Porque ya sabes que me encantan esas cosas

Because you already know I love those things

Que no importa si es muy tonto, soy así

That it doesn't matter if it's very silly, that's how I am

Y aún me parece mentira que se escape mi vida

And it still seems like a lie that my life is slipping away

Imaginando que vuelves (a pasarte por aquí)

Imagining that you come back (to stop by here)

Donde los viernes cada tarde, como siempre

Where every Friday afternoon, as always

La esperanza dice "quieta, hoy quizás sí"

Hope says "stay still, maybe today yes"

Y es que empiezo a pensar (ah, ah, ah)

And I'm starting to think (ah, ah, ah)

Que el amor verdadero es tan solo el primero

That true love is only the first one

Y es que empiezo a sospechar (ah, ah, ah)

And I'm starting to suspect (ah, ah, ah)

Que los demás son solo para olvidar

That the others are only for forgetting

Por eso esperaba con la carita empapada

That's why I waited with my little face soaked

Que llegaras con rosas (con mil rosas para mí)

For you to arrive with roses (with a thousand roses for me)

Porque ya sabes que me encantan esas cosas

Because you already know I love those things

Que no importa si es muy tonto, soy así

That it doesn't matter if it's very silly, that's how I am

Y aún me parece mentira que se escape mi vida

And it still seems like a lie that my life is slipping away

Imaginando que vuelves (a pasarte por aquí)

Imagining that you come back (to stop by here)

Donde los viernes cada tarde, como siempre

Where every Friday afternoon, as always

La esperanza dice "quieta, hoy quizás sí"

Hope says "stay still, maybe today yes"
