Rosas Lyrics in English La Oreja de Van Gogh

Home / Lyrics Translation / La Oreja de Van Gogh / Rosas

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Rosas by La Oreja de Van Gogh from Spanish to English.

On one of these days when I usually think

'Today is going to be the least expected day'

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

At the little blue eyes that now go by your side

From the moment that I met you

Summing up in a rush the time of silence

I swear that I haven't told anyone again

That we hold the world record in loving each other

That's why I was waiting with my face soaked

For you to show up with roses

Because you already know that I love those things

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

And it still seems unbelievable to me that my life slips away

Imagining that you come back

Where on Fridays every afternoon, like always

Hope says 'stay still, maybe today yes'

Escaping one night from a yawn of sun

You asked me to give you a kiss

With how cheap they turn out, my love

How hard is it for you to shut me up with one of those

Six months went by and you said goodbye

A pleasure to coincide in this life

There I stayed, the heart in one hand

And in the other excuses that not even you understood

That's why I was waiting with my face soaked

That you would arrive with roses

Because you already know that I love those things

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

And it still seems unbelievable to me that my life slips away

Imagining that you come back

Where on Fridays every afternoon, like always

Hope says 'stay still, maybe today yes'

And the thing is that I'm starting to think

That true love is only the first

And I'm starting to suspect

That the rest are only to forget

That's why I was waiting with my face soaked

For you to show up with roses

Because you already know that I love those things

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

And it still seems unbelievable to me that my life slips away

Imagining that you come back

Where on Fridays every afternoon, like always

Hope says 'stay still, maybe today yes'

SONG MEANING

"Rosas" is a bittersweet postcard from the past. The singer remembers the dizzy magic of a first love that began almost by accident, bloomed quickly, and then vanished just as fast. She paints vivid scenes: blue-eyed glances, Friday afternoons filled with hope, and her own tear-streaked face waiting for a bouquet of roses. Those roses are not just flowers; they symbolize every tender, slightly cheesy gesture that made her feel adored.

As the memories replay, she realizes that six short months were enough to crown this romance the "world record" of love in her heart. Now she stands with her heart in one hand and excuses in the other, half-laughing at herself for still hoping he might return. The song captures the universal ache of believing that the first love is the truest, and that every relationship after it exists only to help us forget. With catchy melodies and poignant lyrics, "Rosas" wraps nostalgia, heartbreak, and a dash of playful self-irony into an unforgettable pop anthem.
