Rosas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ni nuevos son los días
cómo cuando el sol se posa en tus pupilas
colocado voy
La torpe melodía
cómo cuando el dolor
invade el mediodía
y al rato queto queto queto que toquen
y al rato queto queto queto que toquen
y al rato queto queto queto que toquen
y al rato que el sol
le da espacio a la luna
se irá a soñar con
es reli con Lucía
Lucy and the sky
Oh Lucía
Lucy and the sky
Oh Lucía
Esto no es un fin
ni nuevo son los días
sí canta un delfín
de noche avaría
In "Fin De L FÍN," Rosas sings about the fleeting nature of life and how even in the midst of pain and hardship, there is always a glimmer of hope. The opening lines express this sentiment, as the singer reassures the listener that this is not the end, even though the days may seem difficult. The image of the sun setting in someone's eyes suggests that there is still beauty in the world, even when times are tough.
The singer then goes on to describe feeling "colocado," a Spanish word that can mean either "placed" or "intoxicated." This ambiguity is interesting, as it could suggest either that the singer feels like they are being moved through life by forces beyond their control or that they are trying to escape their difficult situation through substance use. The "torpe melodía" that the singer hears could be the sound of their own pain, or it could be a reference to the sometimes-chaotic rhythms of life.
The repeated phrase "queto queto queto que toquen" is interesting, as it's not clear what it means. It could be a nonsense phrase representing the idea of waiting patiently for something good to happen, or it could be a reference to a specific cultural tradition. The singer then mentions the moon taking the place of the sun, suggesting that there is always a cycle of change and renewal.
As for the reference to Lucy and the sky, this is likely a nod to The Beatles' song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," which famously contains the line "picture yourself in a boat on a river / with tangerine trees and marmalade skies." Like that song, "Fin De L FÍN" seems to suggest that even in the darkest moments, we can find moments of beauty and hope.
