Rosinha
Edú Lobo Lyrics

The song “Rosinha” by Edu Lobo features a man who is infatuated with a woman named Rosa. Rosa is described as carrying a parasol and walking in a direction that causes the man to divert his own path. He also mentions her playing the game of “loves-me, loves-me-not” while the wind blows her hair. The man admits that he will let her get soaked in the rain if she does not reciprocate his affections. He then promises to find flowers for Rosa and even a bird as a gift. However, at the end of the song, Rosa is walking next to her boyfriend while the man who was singing feels alone and abandoned.

The lyrics of this song can be interpreted as a representation of unrequited love. It is clear the man has romantic feelings towards Rosa and goes out of his way to show her how much he cares. However, his feelings are not reciprocated as Rosa chooses to be with someone else. The repetition of “pra onde Rosa caminha, lá vou eu me desviando” (where Rosa walks, there I go avoiding) emphasizes just how much he is willing to change his path to be near her.
