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.
My Eyes Adore You
Robi Draco Rosa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So many others always say
Tomorrow's before you
All of us mustn't play the game
So many days so many nights
Of love sweet love
Hold on don't wake up
Tomorrow's alive
Tonight
I know, I know how you feel
Most of us spend our lives waiting
For someone like you
It's a new day
I know, I know how you feel
It doesn't matter what you say
Some days will fall
Some days will run away
But know when we come
Someone will pave the way
Some win your heart and give you freedom from a lousy day
Why are you so cold?
Is it funny when I fall?
You're beautiful
Sinful
But tomorrow's our day
And your ways break my fall
My eyes adore you
As the river flows
Confused and dim
I'll be burning in your water
Again and forever
Washing away these sins
I know, I know how you feel
Most of us spend our lives waiting
For someone like you
It's a new day
I know, I know how you feel
It doesn't matter what you say
Some days will fall
Some days will run away
But know when we come
Someone will pave the way
Some win your heart and give you freedom from a lousy day
Why are you so cold?
Is it funny when I fall?
You're beautiful
Sinful
But tomorrow's our day
And your ways break my fall
Why you so cold
Yet beautiful
The lyrics of Robi Draco Rosa's song "My Eyes Adore You" seem to speak about a deep love that the singer/admirer has for someone who may not feel the same way. The first verse is a testament to the admiration that the singer has for this person, and how they seem to stand out among others. But then, the second verse seems to bring in a sense of uncertainty, as if the singer is worried that they may never be able to truly be with this person. The lyric "So many days so many nights of love sweet love, hold on don't wake up" could suggest that the singer is afraid of losing the idea of love that they have created in their mind, and of potentially facing rejection.
The chorus then seems to bring in a sense of hope for the future, declaring that "tomorrow's alive tonight" and urging the listener to hold on to their life. The lyric "I know, I know how you feel, most of us spend our lives waiting for someone like you, it's a new day" is again a hopeful reminder that even though things may seem uncertain now, a new day is coming, and with it comes the possibility of finding someone who truly understands and reciprocates one's love.
The final verse seems to bring in more imagery of water and drowning, as the singer states that they will be "burning in your water again and forever, washing away these sins". This could suggest that the love they feel is all-consuming, yet cleansing at the same time. The lyric "Why you so cold yet beautiful" brings in a sense of contrast, as if the object of the singer's affection is both alluring and distant at the same time. The song overall seems to tell a story of unrequited love, yet is ultimately a message of hope, urging the listener to hold on and wait for tomorrow.

Again and forever
This feeling will never fade
Washing away these sins
Our love can erase any mistakes we've made
Why you so cold
Why are you so distant?
Yet beautiful
But still captivating
