Rosana Arbelo was born … Read Full Bio ↴There are two artists by the name of Rosana.
Rosana Arbelo was born in Lanzarote in the Spanish Canary Islands off the northwestern coast of Africa. At age 20, she moved to Madrid where she studied music and guitar.
In 1994, a song she composed won first prize at the Festival de Benidorm. From then on her compositions started to interest many other artists.
In 1996, Rosana decided to start singing her own songs and released her first album, Lunas Rotas. The disc reached unexpected popularity, and without trying she turned into an overnight phenomenon.
Her entry into the Spanish music market was one of the strongest for a new artist in the history of the country. She sold more than 1.6 million copies in Spain, and more than 900,000 in the rest of the world.
Her second album, Luna Nueva, was released in 1998 and had a more mature and deep sound, but maintained the natural and smooth sentiments that characterize the artist.
After three years of silence, during which she wrote songs for other artists, her third album, Rosana, was released in 2001. Its sounds explored the rythms from the her birthplace in the Canary Islands.
In December of 2003, Rosana released Marca Registrada, a double-disc album that contained 10 new songs, 12 greatest hits, and two videos.
Most recently, she has been on tour in both Spain and Latin America, promoting her 2005 album Magia.
Rosana Fiengo is a Brazilian singer who had massive success and a string of hits from the mid-80s to the mid-90s. Her biggest hit was O Amor E O Poder in 1987, and others followed shortly: Direto No Olhar, Onde O Amor Me Leva, Nem Um Toque, Vício Fatal. Her romantic and popular style didn't guarantee her rave reviews, but she did manage to win some awards and she was always featured in many TV shows.
After a while she gained cult status and is still working today, performing at 80s retro parties. Her latest album was released in 2003, and despite containing a remix of O Amor E O Poder, it didn't do well commercially. Her voice has a very wide range and can sometimes be compared to Tina Turner's.
For the 2009 release song "Loving You", she change her stage name to Rosanah Fiengo.

Lo cuentan los cuentos
Lo cuenta la gente y juro por todo que no me lo invento
Algunos amores
Se acaban rompiendo
Y viene de viejo que tanta tristeza termina diciendo:
No ves que pierdo la vida
Que cuando aprieta la soledad
Es cuando ahoga el recuerdo
No ves que estando tan lejos
Se nos marchitan los sueños
Entre los brazos del desamor, se esta apagando este fuego
Te come la pena
Te matan los celos
Te sangra la herida y la vida se escapa por un sumidero
Lo cantan las hojas
Lo silban los vientos
Y viene de antaño que el mar se hace llanto y el mundo desierto
No ves que pierdo la vida
No ves que me estoy muriendo
Que cuando aprieta la soledad
Es cuando ahoga el recuerdo
No ves que estando tan lejos
Se nos marchitan los sueños
Entre los brazos del desamor, se esta apagando este fuego
Y aunque no quiero morir de amor
De amor estoy muriendo
Y de entre amores perdidos, llegan amores eternos
Y viene de siempre que tanta tristeza se va con el tiempo
La ra la la que cuando aprieta la soledad
Es cuando ahoga el recuerdo
La ra la la entre los brazos del desamor
Se esta apagando este fuego
No ves que
Y aunque no quiero morir de amor
De amor estoy muriendo
The song "Cuentan" by Rosana speaks about the pain and heartbreak that comes with lost love. The lyrics say that this story is told throughout history, in tales, and by people who have experienced it. Rosana emphasizes that this is not just something she has invented. The song speaks about the end of a love that was once strong and how it can bring immense sadness. The lyrics mention how some people lose their lives, die inside when they feel alone, and how memories can become so overwhelming that they drown you in sorrow.
Rosana paints a vivid picture of how heartbreak can drain the life out of you: it eats away your pain, kills you with jealousy, bleeds you out and drains your life like water down a drain. This song is a story that has been told throughout time. The world's oceans produce tears, and the wind carries them to the creation of a desert world of sadness. The lyrics also contain the message that amidst all the lost loves, some loves are eternal and will remain with us forever. In the end, the pain caused by lost love will fade with time and the pain will slowly subside.
