Rosa
Ooh-la-la-lag Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ausente, asustada, huyendo de mí
Me he dejado arrastrar
Por tu ambigüedad
Por la ilusión incierta de pensar que
Las cosas cambiarán
Sabiendo que tú no lo harás
Las personas no cambian
Se muestran como son
Esa es la verdad
Y a veces cuesta tanto de aceptar
Se hunde el barco y yo me siento a esperar
Una copa de vino y música para olvidar
Tú abandonas, yo aguanto hasta el final
Y con el agua al cuello, miro al espejo y me digo
Deberías quererte más
No voy a dejar
Que estas cosas nos vuelvan a pasar
Yo merezco algo más
Que el morir entre flores o un justo final
Y no voy a esperar ni un minuto más
No volveré a arrastrarme ni a perdonar
Se hunde el barco y yo me siento a esperar
Una copa de vino y música para olvidar
Tú abandonas, yo aguanto hasta el final
Y con el agua al cuello, miro al espejo y me digo
Deberías quererte más
No voy a dejar
Que estas cosas nos vuelvan a pasar
Deberías quererte más
No voy a dejar
Que estas cosas nos vuelvan a pasar
A pasar
A pasar
A pasar
A pasar
The lyrics of "Rosa" by Ooh-la-la-lag convey a sense of self-realization and empowerment. The singer expresses a desire to no longer be in a state of fear, running away from themselves. They admit to being dragged along by the ambiguity of someone else's actions and holding onto the uncertain hope that things will change, despite knowing deep down that the person they are dealing with will not change. It is a realization that people do not change, and their true nature always reveals itself in the end, although accepting this truth can be challenging at times.
The line "Se hunde el barco y yo me siento a esperar" translates to "The ship is sinking, and I sit and wait." This metaphor signifies a passive approach taken by the singer towards their situation. They metaphorically sit and wait for the ship to go down, indulging in a glass of wine and music to escape and forget their problems. While they endure the abandonment, they resolve to remain strong until the end, not allowing themselves to be dragged down or forgiving easily.
The song highlights the singer's recognition of their own worth and the refusal to settle for less. They believe they deserve more than just dying in flowers or experiencing a fair ending. They refuse to wait any longer, not even for a minute, and vow to stop succumbing to manipulation or forgiving easily. This newfound self-love and determination are emphasized in the line "Deberías quererte más" meaning "You should love yourself more." They advocate for prioritizing their own well-being and avoiding repeating patterns of toxic relationships or situations.
In the final chorus, repetition of the phrase "Que estas cosas nos vuelvan a pasar" translates to "That these things won't happen to us again." With each repetition, the singer reaffirms their commitment to not allowing themselves to be treated poorly or endure similar experiences in the future. It is a declaration of personal growth and the intention to value themselves more, thus breaking free from negative cycles and ultimately creating a better future.
