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.
Lunas rotas
Rosana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y lo que tengo
Un jardín en flor
En pleno invierno
Unas manos vacías
Si no están en tu cuerpo
Una boca sombría
Pero no me pidas que te de la luna
Porque no la tengo cuando estoy a oscuras
Quitársela al cielo no tiene perdón
Y no te amo menos si te digo no
No te doy la luna llena
Porque es la eterna rosa
Que regalan los amantes
Con el aire de la boca
Y si el amor se nos rompe
Porque el amor se equivoca
El mundo amanecería
Repleto de lunas rotas
Te doy lo que soy
Y lo que siento
Un océano azul
En un desierto
Unas alas que vuelan
Más allá de los vientos
Un diluvio de gotas de sudor
De amantes que de amor se mueren
Pero no
No me pidas que te de la luna
Porque no la tengo cuando estoy a oscuras
Quitársela al cielo no tiene perdón
Yo no te amo menos si te digo no
No te doy la luna llena
Porque es la eterna rosa
Que regalan los amantes
Con el aire de la boca
Y si el amor se nos rompe
Porque el amor se equivoca
El mundo amanecería
Repleto de lunas rotas
The lyrics of Rosana's song "Lunas rotas" express the extent of the singer's love for her partner, giving all of herself and what she has to offer, except for one thing: the moon. While she offers a garden in bloom in the midst of winter, empty hands without her lover's touch, and a somber mouth without their shared kisses, Rosana draws the line at giving the moon. She explains that taking it from the sky is an unforgivable act and that her love for her partner remains unchanged even if she denies their latest request.
While the moon is often seen as a symbol of romance and passion, Rosana explains that she cannot provide a full moon as it represents an eternal rose given by lovers through the air from their lips. She chooses instead to offer what she can: a blue ocean in the midst of a desert, wings that soar beyond the winds, and a deluge of sweat and passion between lovers. Despite the potential break in their relationship, leaving the world full of broken moons, Rosana stays true to her word and refuses to give up on her convictions.
Overall, "Lunas rotas" is a passionate and soulful song that speaks to the depth and complexity of love, acknowledging that while some things may be out of reach, the love between two people can remain steadfast.
