Rosa
Dr. Alfonso Ortíz Tirado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nunca mereceu o amor que eu lidava
Você não merece nem ser meu passado
Agora me esquece que você pra mim é um caso encerrado
Não adianta se fazer de santa, nem ajoelhar pro altar
Pedi a São Jorge Guerreiro dos males de mim afastar
Já passou da hora
Ingrata senhora
Nunca vai mudar
Juramento falso ninguém nessa vida é obrigado a aceitar
Língua maliciosa
Pagou de bondosa pra todos, falou mal de mim
Disse que plantou flores, mas só desamores brotaram em seu lindo jardim
Rosa venenosa, boca mentirosa
É fácil prever o seu fim
Inescrupulosa, te quero pra sempre bem longe de mim
Desdenhou da minha escola e rasgou meu tamborim
Rosa venenosa, te quero pra sempre bem longe de mim
Me deixou igual Benito em retalhos de cetim
Rosa venenosa, te quero pra sempre bem longe de mim
Diz que está despetalada, mas não quer...?
Rosa venenosa, te quero pra sempre bem longe de mim
Laiá, laiá...
The lyrics of Dr. Alfonso Ortíz Tirado's song "Rosa" tell the story of a toxic relationship, where the singer has finally had enough and is saying goodbye to their deceitful and untrustworthy partner. The first few lines set the tone for the entire song, with the singer stating that their partner doesn't deserve any words and never deserved the love that they gave them. The singer breaks it down further, saying that their partner doesn't even deserve to be a part of their past and that it's time to move on and forget about them completely.
The lyrics also touch on the idea that the partner in question has been manipulating and lying to not just the singer, but other people around them as well. They paint a picture of someone who pretends to be kind and helpful in public, but speaks ill of their partner behind their back. The singer is fed up with these lies and is ready to move on.
Throughout the song, the singer repeatedly refers to their partner as a "venomous rose," highlighting their dangerous and harmful nature. They list off several instances of their partner's mistreatment, including belittling their accomplishments, destroying their belongings, and tearing apart their identity. The singer ultimately declares that their partner is no longer a part of their life and that they want them to stay far away.
Overall, "Rosa" is a powerful anthem about the pain of toxic relationships and the importance of setting boundaries and moving on from harmful people.
