Romance
Kadril & Alumea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Duns amores desgraciados
El un mociño valente
Garrido, viril e lanzal
Tomou amores con Rosa
Rapaza bonita e formal
Paxariño da abeleira
E dicir á miña Rosa
Que non estou namorado
O paxaro que é pequeno
Leva as palabras de dor
Colle a carta no peteiro
E comeza o seu voo
Entregou a carta a Rosa
Que traía dende Paris
«Se ti a min non me queres
eu tampouco che quero a ti
podes buscar unha moza,
outro amor vive por min ».
The song "Romance" by Kadril & Alumea is a story about a courageous and virile young man named Garrido who falls in love with a beautiful and formal young girl named Rosa. However, their love story is a tragic one, as Garrido is not loved back by Rosa. Instead of confessing his love to her directly, Garrido writes a letter and asks a little bird from a tree to take the message to Rosa. The bird flies to Paris to deliver the letter to Rosa, who reads in it that Garrido no longer loves her and that she should move on and find someone else. The story ends sadly, as both Garrido and Rosa continue their separate lives.
The lyrics of the song are simple yet meaningful, highlighting the theme of unrequited love and the pain that comes with it. The story of Garrido and Rosa is a classic example of love that is not reciprocated, and the use of the bird as a messenger adds a significant emotional depth to the song. The lyrics also portray the message that it is better to move on and find someone else who loves you back than to hold onto a love that is not meant to be.

Voulles contar unha historia
Let me tell you a story
Duns amores desgraciados
About a tragic love
El un mociño valente
He was a brave young man
Garrido, viril e lanzal
Strong, manly, and brave
Tomou amores con Rosa
He fell in love with Rosa
Rapaza bonita e formal
A beautiful and proper girl
Paxariño da abeleira
A bird from the top of a tree
Debes levar un mandado
You must deliver a message
E dicir á miña Rosa
And tell my Rosa
Que non estou namorado
That I am not in love
O paxaro que é pequeno
A small bird
Leva as palabras de dor
Carries words of pain
Colle a carta no peteiro
Takes the letter to the perch
E comeza o seu voo
And begins its flight
Entregou a carta a Rosa
Delivered the letter to Rosa
Que traía dende Paris
That came from Paris
Se ti a min non me queres
If you do not love me
eu tampouco che quero a ti
I do not want you either
podes buscar unha moza,
You can find another girl
outro amor vive por min ».
Another love is waiting for me.
