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.
Noche Fría
Robi Draco Rosa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
yo no se que hacer
Te siento tan lejos y tan cerca
que me estoy volviendo loco sin querer
Mira que me gustas mujer
que puedo yo hacer
tener tu amor y padecer
buscando un poco de pasion y no
yo no la encuentro en ti
Chorus
Mi corazon se va triste
esperando por ti en la sombra del sol
canta para mi, sino me voy
me aburro me aburro me voy de ti
canta para mi, sino me voy
Esta noche fria es mas fria sin ti
yo no se que hacer
otra noche desesperado
buscando un poco de pasion y no
yo no la encuentro en ti
Chorus
el dolor del olvido no me deja olvidar
me duele en el pecho saber que no estas
The song "Noche Fría" by Robi Draco Rosa is a melancholic and heartfelt ballad about a man experiencing a cold and lonely night without his lover. The opening lines emphasize the emptiness and solitude that permeates his life without her. He confesses to feeling lost and uncertain about what to do. The next few lines reveal the mixed emotions he has about his partner -- despite being physically distant, she feels close to him in some ways, yet he still feels driven to distraction and madness by her absence.
The chorus is a dark and brooding lamentation about how he feels trapped and hopeless without her. His heart is heavy and full of sorrow, and he is waiting for her to return to his life. He pleads with her to sing for him so that he won't leave her, but he is feeling increasingly disheartened by the situation. The final lines touch on the theme of heartache and loss, as he feels the pain of separation and the sorrow of not being able to forget about her.
Overall, "Noche Fría" is a poignant and deeply emotional song that captures the essence of longing and heartache. It speaks to the universal human experience of love and loss, and the complexities of relationships that can make us feel both elated and tortured at the same time.

Pero carajo Robi, que te puedo decir, no entendía el reconocimiento que te daban algunos amigos artistas, pero cada vez que busco de tus creaciones, mas sed tengo de tu musica... Espero y deseo que Dios nos de la felicidad de un encuentro y que te permita a ti, seguir trillando en nuestros corazones tan dulce legado musical... eres grande, perdona la adulación pero me he converitdo en otro fan más, de los miles que tienes....
