Rosas [English translation]

One of these days when I'll sit thinking;

"Today will be the day least thought out"

We have crossed paths, you've decided to stare into

The blue eyes that are now by your side

Since the moment I met you

Summarizing in haste a time of silence

I swear, I haven't told anyone else

That we hold the world record in loving one another

That's why I waited, with my face pouty

For you to return with roses, a thousand roses for me

Because you know I love those things

I don't care if it's dumb, that's how I am

And it feels surreal that my life should escape me

Imagining that you'll come back around here

Where Fridays, every evening, like always

Hope says, "Be still, maybe today..."

Escaping one night in the tired sun

You asked me to kiss you

With how cheap they are, my love,

What does it cost you to quiet me with one of them?

Six months passed, and you told me goodbye

An agreeable pleasure in this life

There I stood, with my heart in one hand

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

That's why I waited, with my face pouty

For you to return with roses, a thousand roses for me

Because you know I love those things

I don't care if it's dumb, that's how I am

And it feels surreal that my life should escape me

Imagining that you'll come back around here

Where Fridays, every evening, like always

Hope says, "Be still, maybe today..."

And then I started to think

That only the first love is true love

And then I started to suspect

That the rest are only meant to be forgotten

That's why I waited, with my face pouty

For you to return with roses, a thousand roses for me

Because you know I love those things

I don't care if it's dumb, that's how I am

And it feels surreal that my life should escape me

Imagining that you'll come back around here

Where Fridays, every evening, like always

Hope says, "Be still, maybe today..."
