Rosas [English translation]

On one of those days in which I happen to think,

"Today will be a most thoughtless day"

We've crossed paths, you've decided to look

Into the blue eyes that are now by your side

From the moment in which I met you,

Anxiously going over "Time of Silence",

I swear to you I've never again told anyone

that we hold the world record in loving each other

That's why I waited, with a tear-stained face,

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

Because you know that I love those kinds of things,

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

And yet it seem like a lie that my life escapes me

imagining that you'll pass by here,

where every friday, like always,

hope says, "keep still/quiet, perhaps today (will be the day)..."

Escaping one night from the wake of the sun,

you asked me to give you a kiss.

With how cheap they are, my love,

what'll it cost you to quiet me with one of them?

Six months passed by, and you told me goodbye

"It was a pleasure to coincide in this life."

There I remained, in one hand my heart,

and in the other, excuses that not even you understood.

That's why I waited, with a tear-stained face,

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

Because you know that I love those kinds of things,

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

And yet it seem like a lie that my life escapes me

imagining that you'll pass by here,

where every friday, like always,

hope says, "keep still/quiet, perhaps today (will be the day)..."

And it's just that I deny thinking

That true love is only the first love.

And it's just that I'm starting to think

That the rest are only to forget.

That's why I waited, with a tear-stained face,

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

Because you know that I love those kinds of things,

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

And yet it seem like a lie that my life escapes me

imagining that you'll pass by here,

where every friday, like always,

hope says, "keep still/quiet, perhaps today (will be the day)..."
