Rosa
Freddie Colloca Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tanto es el dolor de un amor que se ha perdido
Y es tanto el vacío que crece más y más
Por una madre que ha dado de su amor y alegría
Y cada año de su vida, ella daba mucho más

Porque la muerte hoy nos toma de sorpresa
Al pensar que todo ya terminará
Sé de aquel que nos ha dado una promesa
Que más allá de tanta muerte, hay vida nueva

Rosa, te veré en el cielo otra vez
Mañana, mañana
Y tus brazos de amor
Que una vez daban calor abrazaré
Rosa, viviré con tu enseñanza de ayer
Mañana, mañana
Y tu ejemplo sin igual que me diste
Nunca olvidaré

Tantas lágrimas vertidas y una multitud perdida
Y falta de confianza en la esperanza de la cruz




Y cada corazón que es quebrado por la partida de un amado
Puede ser cambiado por Jesús
