Banda Uó Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Meu céu,
Eu vou te levar desse lugar,
Te tirar desse bordel,
Você vai ser feliz comigo.
Eu sei,
Que não é fácil assim,
Ah vou te roubar pra mim,
Você vai ser só minha mulher.
Mas pra que eu saia desse mundo eu não vou assim,
Baby, vai ter que me conquistar
Pra as estrelas me levar,
E tem que encher meu cofre.
Quero ser seu cafetão, e ela já tem.
Quero dar jóia de prata, e ela já tem.
Procurei um robe preto mas ela já tem,
Mas eu sei que é o meu amor que ela não tem.
Rosa,
Meu céu,
Eu vou te levar desse lugar,
Te tirar desse bordel,
Você vai ser feliz comigo.
Eu sei,
Que não é fácil assim,
Mas comigo vai ser real,
Ah vou te roubar pra mim,
Você vai ser só minha mulher.
Se você procura mulher, você tem,
Até filho com vizinha você tem.
Em Belém do Pará você é alguém,
Mas o Del Rey pra me levar, você não tem.
Rosa,
Meu céu,
Eu vou te levar desse lugar,
Te tirar desse bordel,
Você vai ser feliz comigo.
Eu sei,
Que não é fácil assim,
Mas comigo vai ser real,
Ah vou te roubar pra mim,
Você vai ser só minha Rosa.
The song Rosa by Banda Uó is a story of a man, who falls in love with a woman working in a brothel. He dreams of rescuing her from that life and promises her a better future with him. He acknowledges that it is not going to be easy, and he would have to work hard to earn her trust and love. He desires to be her protector and savior and is willing to do whatever it takes to win her over. The lyrics are a mix of sweet and tough words, as the man tries to convince the woman to leave her current life behind.
The man acknowledges that he cannot take her out of the world of prostitution quickly. He understands it will take more than just promising a better life to win her heart. The man challenges himself to work hard and earn the woman's trust before he can take her away from that life. He also states he needs to be rich enough to take her out of the brothel, and only then can they start their new life together. The lyrics of the song reflect the struggles that people face in relationships and how difficult it can be to convince someone to leave their comfort zone and start anew.

Caralho, CLARO que é inspirada em "Last Night". A primeira coisa que aparece no vídeo é um disco do Strokes... Foi uma versão que fizeram em homenagem a banda. Então já tá bom pra pararem de comentar falando que é plagio e blá-blá-blá. Vai com Tudo, Uó! <3
