Rosa Branca
Mariza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eu bailei com quem calhou
Tantas voltas dei bailando
Que a rosa se desfolhou
Quem tem, quem tem
Amor a seu jeito
Colha a rosa branca
Oh roseira, roseirinha
Roseira do meu jardim
Se de rosas gostas tanto
Porque não gostas de mim?
Quem tem, quem tem
Amor a seu jeito
Colha a rosa branca
Ponha a rosa ao peito
The lyrics of Mariza's song Rosa Branca, translated as "White Rose," speak to love and its symbolism through the imagery of a dance and a rose. The singer refers to herself as having danced with whoever was available, and in the process, the rose she wore on her chest slowly lost its petals from all the turns she took. The message here is that love can be fleeting and is not always certain, no matter how much we try to hold onto it.
The second verse refers to a rose garden where the singer asks why the rose bushes seem to love their flowers more than they love her. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for unrequited love or feeling unappreciated in a relationship. The chorus repeats the idea that those who have love should take care of it, symbolized by the white rose, and wear it on their chest as a badge of honor.
Overall, the song speaks to the complexity of love and its accompanying emotions of joy, pain, and uncertainty. Through the image of the rose, Mariza captures the beauty and fragility of love, reminding us to cherish what we have while we have it.

De Rosa ao peito na roda
With a rose in my breast while dancing in a circle
Eu bailei com quem calhou
I danced with whoever was there
Tantas voltas dei bailando
I spun around and danced so much
Que a rosa se desfolhou
That the rose's petals fell off
Quem tem, quem tem
Whoever has, whoever has
Amor a seu jeito

Se de rosas gostas tanto
If you like roses so much
Porque não gostas de mim?
