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.

Nada A Perder
Rosana Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nada a perder
Pra quem não tinha nada a ganhar
É como ver o dia morrer

A noite chegar
O tempo passar
E quem vai ficar
De bem com a vida

Quem vai ficar
Com a chave da saída
Que dá
Pra outro lugar

Que não seja aqui
Eu tentei
Você viu que eu tentei
De todas as maneiras

Eu errei você viu
Que eu amei
Como todo mulher
É assim que isso tudo começa

Foi assim que isso tudo acabou
Eu tentei
Você viu que eu tentei
Nada a dizer

Pra quem não tinha nada a falar
Alguem podia me convencer
Que a vida é assim

Pegar ou largar
E o que vai sobrar
Do amor que eu guardei pra te dar

A estoria que eu queria contar
Não era tao triste

Eu tentei
Você viu que eu tentei

Overall Meaning

In "Nada A Perder" ("Nothing to Lose"), Rosana sings about moving on from a love that did not work out. She sings that for those who had nothing to gain, there is nothing to lose, and it is like watching the day die and the night come. Time passes, and those who will be at peace with life and have the key to the way out, to another place beyond here. Despite her efforts to make the relationship work, she made mistakes and loved like every other woman. She tries to find something to say, but for someone who had nothing to say, it was impossible to convince herself and everyone else that life is just like that. What is left now is the love that she had for someone she cannot be with.

The song is soulful and emotive, with a melody that is somewhat melancholic. The bridge is particularly powerful, as it highlights the singer's struggles to move on and accept the way things are. She tries to share her story, but it is not as sad as it may seem, and she tried hard to make things work, to no avail. The song is ultimately about letting go and moving on, even when it hurts.
