Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y me quede con tu dulce mirar
Despues te vi una clara noche cerca de mi
Como llama de amor
Rosario toda la luz del mundo
Parece que se fundiera en ti
Te vi pasar como rubor viajero
Rosario eres ramo de luna
Que pasas queriendo florecer
Rosario provoca mi vida besar tu boca
In Juan Vicente Torrealba's song Rosario, the singer reminisces about a brief encounter with a woman named Rosario. He describes her as passing by him like a fleeting breeze but leaving a lasting impression with her sweet gaze. Then, one clear night, he sees her again, and she is like a flame of love. The singer is taken with Rosario's beauty and light, which seems to have melted into her. He watches her pass by him blushing, and he wants to speak up and tell her that he loves her. He refers to Rosario as a branch of moon that is passing by, wanting to blossom. He expresses that Rosario provokes a desire in him to live and to kiss her lips. The song implies that Rosario has touched the singer's heart with her presence, and he wants to hold onto her.
The lyrics of the song Rosario are poetic and almost dreamy, highlighting the beauty of Rosario and the singer's desire for her. The short-lived nature of their encounter seems to add to the fleeting quality of the lyrics, emphasizing the brevity of the encounter and the singer's longing for something longer-lasting. Through the use of symbolism, such as Rosario being a branch of the moon, the singer is able to convey the depth of his desire for Rosario.
