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.

Para nada
Rosana Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

¿Para que ? para Nada
¿Para que? ¿para que? para nada

¿Para que andar descalza sin rumbo?
¿Para que izar las velas del mundo?
¿Para que? para nada

¿Para que rebajar la condena?

¿Para que si te mata la pena?
¿Para que? ¿Para que? Para nada

¿Para que echar perfume a la vida?
¿Para que si te escuece la herida?
¿Para que? para nada

¿Para que continuar viviendo deprisa
Buscando la suerte en la mierda que pisas?
Te vas a volver a quedar sin volar ¿para que?
Para nada
¿Para que? ¿Para que? Para nada

¿Para que fusilar el olvido?
¿Para que si te pones a tiro?
¿Para que? Para nada

¿Para que una tregua de abrazos?
Ni matar ni morir a balazos
¿Para que? ¿para que? Para nada

¿Para que continuar viviendo deprisa
Buscando la suerte en la mierda que pisas?
Te vas a volver a quedar sin volar ¿Para que?
Para nada

Para nada te vale una vida varada
Hoy te toca romper la baraja
Porque anclado ni subes ni bajas
Para ser, para estar, para echar a volar
Hoy te toca soltar las amarras
¿Para que emborracharte de olvido
Si te vas a vivir lo vivido?
¿como que para que? Porque puedes
Y sè que si quieres te sobran las alas

¿como que para nada?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rosana's song Para nada encourage listeners to break free from the constraints that are holding them back and embrace change. The rhetorical question, "What is it for?" ("Para que?") appears repeatedly throughout the song, highlighting a sense of futility and suggesting that there is no point in continuing to live a life without direction or passion. The call to action is clear: those who continue to "walk without a direction," "lower their sentence," or "scent their life with perfume" are doing so for nothing. The lyrics suggest that true freedom can only be achieved by breaking free from these pointless pursuits and embracing bold, new choices.

The metaphor of flight is used throughout the song, with lines such as "you're going to be left without flying" and "to be, to stay, to take flight" representing the idea of taking control and rising above the mundane. The repeated theme of self-imposed limitations, such as "living fast and searching for luck in the dirt you tread," again emphasizes the importance of breaking free from old behaviors and embracing new possibilities. Ultimately, the song encourages listeners to let go of the past and seize the opportunities that are within their reach, because if they want to fly, they have the "wings" to do so.
