Rosa
David Bruno Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

rosa
uma flor tão airosa
de uma cor tão formosa
só não vi que és tão espinhosa

rosa
fragrância esplendorosa
não sabia que havia flor assim tão venenosa

rosa
que coisa fabulosa
algo de ar tão gentil mas de alma tão perigosa

rosa
em poesia ou em prosa
se  for pra falar de ti não vou mentir, 
és mentirosa

eu colhi te do jardim e te acolhi
e reguei te e dei te agua de mim
estive aqui a ver as pétalas cair
e esperei que tu voltasses a florir

pra no fim ver que contigo não é tudo assim
não
não é tudo assim tão
rosa

Sei que tens falado com o Daniel
Aquele tropa que mora em Penafiel
Eu dou-te tudo o que tu queres até dou mais
Diz que não podes hoje vêm cá os teus pais

Onze e meia vem ter comigo a Valongo
Tou no Motel Avenue sem dar estrondo
Tenho caixas da roupa da Bershka, da Zara
Da Massimo Dutti, só roupa cara

Agora pensa e pára
Como é que pensas duas vezes em quem optar?
Eu sou aquele que te mete com o pé atrás
Eu não interesso a ninguém, não sou de confiar
É pa chorar

Porém, contudo, vais mentir e te arrependerás
Tipo moura encantada com a minha voz
Eu não interesso nem ao Menino Jesus
Mas beijo a Cruz

flores do campo, flores da cidade
flores antigas, flores de tenra idade
flores humildes, flores com vaidade
flores de plástico, flores de verdade

conheci te no jardim municipal
num dia aparentemente normal
brilhaste no meio das outras, eras a tal
mal sabia eu que ha flores que cheiram mal

eu colhi te do jardim e te acolhi
e reguei te e dei te agua de mim
estive aqui a ver as pétalas cair
e esperei que tu voltasses a florir

pra no fim ver que contigo não é tudo assim
não




não é tudo assim tão
rosa

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from David Bruno's song "Rosa" convey the complex nature of a person who is symbolized by a rose. The first verse introduces the image of a rose, describing it as beautiful and fragrant. However, it also mentions that the rose is thorny, implying that there is a hidden danger or difficulty that comes with it. This can be understood as a metaphor for a person who may appear attractive and charming on the surface but may also have negative qualities or intentions.


The second verse continues to explore the contradictory nature of the rose. It talks about how the singer initially cared for and nurtured the rose, hoping for it to bloom again. However, it reveals disappointment and suggests that the person represented by the rose is not as expected. The use of the word "mentirosa" (liar) implies that the person's true nature is deceitful or manipulative.


In the third verse, the lyrics shift focus to a specific situation involving the person represented by the rose. It mentions someone named Daniel and describes how the singer gives the person everything they want, even more than they ask for. However, it also highlights the person's indecision and their willingness to meet with someone else. This suggests a lack of commitment or loyalty in their relationship, creating a sense of betrayal.


The final verse expands the theme of contradicting qualities by discussing different types of flowers. It suggests that there are various kinds of people, just like there are different types of flowers, each with their own attributes and characteristics. The singer mentions meeting the person in a municipal garden and being initially captivated by their uniqueness. However, they later discover that not all things are as they seem, as the person represented by the rose turns out to be disappointing or unpleasant.


Overall, these lyrics present a cautionary tale about the complexities of human nature and the need to be cautious when judging someone based solely on appearances. The rose serves as a powerful metaphor for the potential dangers and disappointments that can arise from relationships or encounters with people who may seem attractive but possess negative qualities. It emphasizes the importance of looking beyond surface-level attributes and being aware of the hidden thorns that may lie beneath.
