Carita De Rosa
Gertrudis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que es lo que tú quieres
Carita carita de rosa
Dime que te pasa
Que es lo que tú quieres
Que estás tan, que estás tan llorosa
Dime quien te va a curar
Dime quien soy yo
Si tu vida es mi vida
Y la mía ya no es mía
Son las mismas discusiones
Que tuvimos anteayer
No hay amor ni vicio
Ni cristales para romper
Ay escucha como llora la bella gertrudis band
Que del corral somos los gallos
Y de la calle un mero galán
Su lunares mueren en el sinfín de su razón
Enterita y desnuda
Chocolatera como ninguna
Dime que te pasa, dime, dime…
Soy conciente de mi debilidad
Y esa eres tu y nadie mas que tu
The lyrics in Gertrudis's song Carita De Rosa describe a conversation between two people where one is asking the other what is wrong and what they want. The repetition of "dime que te pasa" emphasizes the singer's concern and desire to understand the other person's emotions. The use of the phrase "carita de rosa" suggests that the person is physically showing signs of distress, perhaps with a red or flushed face. The singer offers to help by asking who will heal the other person's wounds and stating that their lives are now intertwined.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of past hurts and unresolved issues, as the singer mentions "las heridas que algún día te hicieron bailar" (the wounds that once made you dance). The repetition of "no hay amor ni vicio, ni cristales para romper" (there's no love or vice, or glass to break) suggests that the relationship may be stagnant or lacking in excitement. The final lines reveal that the singer is aware of their own weakness and vulnerability, and that the other person holds a significant place in their life.
One interesting aspect of the song is the use of the name Gertrudis as the band's name and also in the lyrics. The name Gertrudis is of German origin and means strong spear, which could be interpreted as a nod to the band's own strength and determination. Another interesting aspect is the use of the word "chocolatera" to describe the person, which could refer to a type of traditional Spanish pottery used for making hot chocolate. This usage adds a touch of cultural significance to the lyrics. Additionally, the song's blending of different genres, including rock, flamenco, and Latin rhythms, showcases the band's eclectic sound.
