Maria Gadú Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hoping that love finds a spark
Did you ever lose
Something you refused
Something that you wish came true
You were never looking
How could you have found me
So close
And now you stare at the sun
Blinded, so why should I run
Did you ever lose
Something you refused
Something that you wish came true
Remember you would root for me
Remember I would root for you
It's too late to return, I know
Did you ever lose
Something you refused
Something that you wish came true
You were never looking
I stood like a rose
In Maria Gadú's song "Like a Rose," the lyrics speak to the idea of missed opportunities and the regret that can come with them. The opening lines, "Why do you walk in the dark, Hoping that love finds a spark," suggest the singer's confusion over someone's reluctance to take a chance. The following lines, "Did you ever lose, Something you refused, Something that you wish came true," further emphasize the idea of missed opportunities and the potential for regret.
The chorus, "You were never looking, I stood like a rose, How could you have found me, So close," suggests that the singer was waiting for the right moment, but the opportunity passed her by. The use of the metaphor of a rose emphasizes the idea that the singer was a beautiful and delicate opportunity that was missed, perhaps emphasizing the idea of the pain of regret that comes with missed opportunities.
The song's bridge, "Remember you would root for me, Remember I would root for you, It's too late to return, I know," speaks to the idea that the missed opportunity has passed, and there is no going back. The lines suggest a sense of nostalgia and fondness for what could have been.
Overall, "Like a Rose" is a poignant and thought-provoking song that speaks to the potential pain and regret that can come with missed opportunities.

Why do you walk in the dark
Hoping that love finds a spark
Did you ever lose
Something you refused
Something that you wish came true?
You were never looking
I stood like a rose

So close

Por que você anda no escuro
Esperando que o amor encontre uma faísca
Você já perdeu
Algo que você recusou
Algo que você deseja que se torne realidade?
Você nunca estava olhando
Eu fiquei como uma rosa
Como você poderia ter me encontrado
Tão perto
E agora você olha para o sol
Cego, então por que devo correr
Você já perdeu
Algo que você recusou
Algo que você deseja que se torne realidade?
Lembre-se de que você torceria por mim
Lembre-se que eu torceria por você
É tarde demais para voltar, eu sei.
Você já perdeu
Algo que você recusou
Algo que você deseja que se torne realidade?
Você nunca estava olhando
Eu fiquei como uma rosa
