After Menudo, Rosa went on to star in a minor Hollywood hit, the 1988 movie Salsa. On the set, Rosa fell in love with his co-star Angela Alvarado. They wed a few months after the movie's release, started raising a family and have also been working as partners in Rosa's different projects ever since.
In 1990 Rosa moved to Los Angeles and formed a rock band called "Maggie's Dream" which released an album under Capitol Records. In the early 1990's Rosa legally changed his name to "Draco Cornelius Rosa" (draco means "dragon" in Latin) saying he wanted to leave his old image and lifestyle behind. During this time, he released two albums which differ greatly from each other. The first one, Frío was released in 1994 and featured a pop sound along with soft rock influences. His second major work, Vagabundo, was released in 1996 and marked a drastic change from the previous album and image. Under the name Draco, Rosa created a heavy and dark album that carried elements of goth, psychedelia, and heavy metal. Vagabundo is considered one of the greatest Rock en Español albums of all time.
During this time Rosa began collaborating with former Menudo colleague Ricky Martin, co-writing many of Martin's biggest hits, among them "Livin' La Vida Loca", "She Bangs", "Maria" and "The Cup of Life". He and co-writer Desmond Child earned Grammy nominatios for their work with Martin.
In 1998 he released his first english-language album, titled Songbirds and Roosters. It featured the english versions of the tracks from his debut album Frío. In 2001 Rosa released a Greatest Hits album called Libertad del Alma which featured songs from an upcoming album in which he had been working for more than three years.
In 2003, Draco again re-invented himself yet again, in preparation for the release of his most ambitious project yet, an album titled Mad Love Released in March 2004, the album contained tragic love themes in different musical genres ranging from hard rock to flamenco ballads. The album was comprised of 15 songs, 3 of which are sung in Spanish. The album was the first to earn Rosa international recognition beyond Latin America, becoming widely popular in Europe. Rosa toured the continent with Lenny Kravitz in the summer of 2004.
Rosa received a Latin Grammy Award in 2004 for the video clip of the song "Más y Más". In September 2004, Draco took his show to Puerto Rico's new 18,000-capacity Coliseo de Puerto Rico, selling out the venue. A CD/DVD of the event was released on December 6, 2005, titled DRACO Al Natural. He capped 2005 with 7 sold out concerts at Puerto Rico's "Bellas Artes" theatre in the month of September and proceeded to focus on a new spanish-language album for 2007.
Rosa currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife Angela and two sons, Revel and Redamo, although he also has a residence in Puerto Rico. Rosa has been known for using many different pseudonyms when writing songs for other artists. Among them are "Dolores del Infante", "Ian Blake" and "Phantom Vox". On December 19, 2005 multi-artist Celso Gonzalez introduced an instalation called "El Ultimo Viaje: El Entierro de Robi Rosa" ("The Final Voyage: The Burial of Robi Rosa") at Puerto Rico's Museo de Arte Contemporaneo.
Lie Without A Lover
Robi Draco Rosa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I guess a bit of path of love
is no longer hauting you.
Come and spring a new(flame)
in my heart and take me over
I'll be sitting around,
waiting for you to perform
You bore me
You bore me
You bore me,you do
You make me wanna run away from you.
These days
Hold me as I dwell in love,
in a lie without a lover
And these nights are cold
I'm in your spell of lust
As I lie without a lover.
Now the nights are days
And days I feel that you are
just a hard way
You find that you are
You wanna love me
Yes I love you for a thousand days.
Ohhhahhh,love sweet love
I know there is a way
to help us blow below the flame.
Yeah,put your hand...
It caresses ahhhh...
You remind me of a sence of censory,
to a place with your peers...ahhh
Will you run with me?
Now these days
Hold me as I dwell in love,
in a lie without a lover
And these nights are cold
I'm in your spell of lust
As I lie without a lover...without a lover.
Now the nights are days
And days I feel that you are
just a hard way
You find that you are
You wanna love me
Yes I love you for a thousand days.
Ohhhahhh,love sweet love
I know there is a way
to help us blow below the flame.
(And I lie without a lover)
I think that everytime you swinging it
You're swinging it...for me.
See I want to surround you
Put yourself in your fanny reputation
that surrounds you while you're out.
Now the nights are days
And days I feel that you are
just a hard way
You find that you are
You wanna love me
Yes I love you for a thousand days.
Ohhhahhh,love sweet love
I know there is a way
to help us blow below the flame.
Now the nights are days
And days I feel that you are
just a hard way
You find that you are
You wanna love me
Yes I love you for a thousand days.
Ohhhahhh,love sweet love
I know there is a way
to help us blow
and become one flame...one flame.
(a lie)...(without a love)...(lover)
Try to find,
try to find,
try to find.
The song "Lie Without a Lover" by Robi Draco Rosa is a complex and emotional exploration of love, lust, and desire. The lyrics describe the singer's longing for a lover who no longer haunts them, but who still holds them in a spell of lust. The singer is bored and wants their lover to sing a song to them, but at the same time, they are also feeling trapped in a lie without a lover. The chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing the singer's sense of loss and yearning. The line "I love you for a thousand days" hints at the ephemeral nature of love and the transience of human desires.
Throughout the song, there are hints of ambiguity and uncertainty. The singer is unsure if their lover truly wants to love them or if it is just a hard way. Meanwhile, they also wonder if their lover is only swinging it for them. There is a sense of anxiousness and desperation, as if the singer is clinging to their lover despite the fact that they are not sure if they truly love them. The song ends with the repeated phrase "try to find," as if the singer is still searching for answers or a way to make their love last.
Overall, "Lie Without a Lover" is a thought-provoking and melancholic song that explores the complexity of human relationships and the quest for true love.

TRADUÇÃO 🇧🇷
Estas noites são à tua volta
Acho que o amargo Caminho do amor já não te assombra.
Venha, primavera um novo
O meu coração ainda está Azul
Tenho estado sentado à espera que actues.
Canta-me uma canção Porque estou aborrecido
Aborreces-me, aborreces-me, aborreces-me, fazes-me querer fugir de TI
Hoje em dia Abraça-me enquanto vivo no amor
E eu minto sem um amante
And these days are cold
Estou no teu feitiço de luxúria enquanto minto sem um amante
Agora as noites são dias
Estou atordoado.
Sinto que estás apenas a um coração de distância
Estás bem.
Que tu és
Queres amar-me sim eu amo-te por mil dias
Oh amor doce amor eu sei que há uma maneira
Para nos ajudar a tornarmo-nos uma chama
Sim, a tua mão acaricia tudo
Para um lugar que aparece
Podes correr comigo aqui?
estes dias abraçam-me enquanto vivo no amor
E eu minto sem um amante
E estas noites são Frias
Estou no teu feitiço de luxúria
Como eu minto sem um amante
Agora as noites são dias
Estou atordoado.
Sinto que estás apenas a um coração de distância
Estás bem.
Que tu és
Queres amar-me sim eu amo-te por mil dias
Oh amor doce amor eu sei que há uma maneira
Para nos ajudar a tornarmo-nos uma chama
Sim, a tua mão acaricia tudo
Para um lugar que aparece
Podes correr comigo aqui?
E eu minto sem um amante
Eu acho que cada vez que você está balançando você está balançando para mim eu quero rodeá-lo de si mesmo e
A tua reputação a desvanecer
Agora as noites são dias
Alguns dias sinto que estás apenas a um coração de distância
Tu descobres que és
Queres amar-Me Sim eu amo-te por mil dias
Oh amor doce amor eu sei que há uma maneira
Para nos ajudar a tornarmo-nos uma chama
Sim, a tua mão acaricia tudo
Para um lugar que aparece
Podes correr comigo aqui?
