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.
De Una Sóla Torpeza
Rosana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tropecé donde avisa para no tropezar
Si buscamos la vida dentro de una manzana
Acabamos mordiendo la mordida de adán
Me dejaste a la luz de un candil sin candela
Una luna sin lobo y una herida letal
Si me estas olvidando préstame tus memorias
No me guardes con cosas para no recordar
Siento que dejaras una epidemia de tristeza si te vas
Siento que no que no hay sabor a besos en el aire
Quien diablos a robado el amor
Ya no envió mensajes dentro de una botella
A buen puerto me han dicho que no llegan del mar
Ya no quedan pinochos dentro de una ballena
Las ballenas no encuentran alquiler en el mar
Y a mi al decir verdad no me gustan las flores
Del jardín del infierno navegantes el día del juicio final
No me cortes las alas ni me tires del cielo
hoy no llego a la gloria ni de un salto mortal
Siento que dejaras una epidemia de tristeza si te vas
siento que no que no hay sabor a besos en el aire
Quien diablos a robado el amor
Siento que dejaras una epidemia de tristeza si te vas
siento que no que no hay sabor a besos en el aire
Quien diablos se ha llevado el sol del jardín del corazón
Quien diablos a robado el amor
The lyrics of De Una Sóla Torpeza by Rosana is quite complex as it contains metaphors and poetic imagery. The song talks about making mistakes and how, sometimes, those mistakes can be numerous but result from a single act of clumsiness, as the first line suggests: "Cometí mil pecados de una sola torpeza" (I committed a thousand sins from just one clumsiness).
The song also speaks about the consequences of seeking something that may not be what it seems. When the singer says, "Si buscamos la vida dentro de una manzana / Acabamos mordiendo la mordida de adán" (If we look for life inside an apple / We end up biting Adam's bite), she is referring to the biblical story of Adam and Eve, where the apple represents the temptation that led to their fall from paradise.
The singer also talks about a relationship that ended badly and left her in pain, as shown by lines like "Me dejaste a la luz de un candil sin candela / Una luna sin lobo y una herida letal" (You left me in the light of a candle without a candlewick / A moon without a wolf and a lethal wound). She begs her former partner not to erase their memories because, even if they hurt, they are part of their history.
Overall, the song speaks about the fragility of human relationships and how we must be careful not to make mistakes that can lead to their destruction.
