Rosas [English translation]

In a day like today where I usually think

" today will be the day least expected"

our paths have crossed, you've decided to look

into those little blue eyes that are now by your side

Ever since that moment that I met you

summarizing excitedly times of silence

I swear to you that I haven't said again

that we have the record in the world for loving each other.

That's why I waited with my little face soaked

for you to arrive with roses, with a thousand roses for me,

because you know that I love those things

that it doesn't matter if it's too stupid, I'm like that.

And I still think it's a lie that my life has escaped me

imagining that you'd be back to visit here,

where every Friday afternoon, like always,

hope says " stay still and maybe he will..."

Escaping a night from the yawn of the sun

you asked me to give you a kiss.

With how cheap that those are, my love,

what does it cost you to shut me up with one of those?

Six months passed by and you told me goodbye,

a pleasure coinciding in this life.

There, I stayed, in one hand my heart,

and in the other excuses that not even you understood.

That's why I waited with my little face soaked

for you to arrive with roses, with a thousand roses for me,

because you know that I love those things

that it doesn't matter if it's too stupid, I'm like that.

And I still think it's a lie that my life has escaped me

imagining that you'd be back to visit here,

where every Friday afternoon, like always,

hope says " stay still and maybe he will..."

And it's that I'm starting to think

that true love is only the first.

And it's that I'm starting to suspect

that the rest are just to forget...

That's why I waited with my little face soaked

for you to arrive with roses, with a thousand roses for me,

because you know that I love those things

that it doesn't matter if it's too stupid, I'm like that.

And I still think it's a lie that my life has escaped me

imagining that you'd be back to visit here,

where every Friday afternoon, like always,

hope says " stay still and maybe he will..."
