Cuatro rosas
Tachenko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
dentro del vaso que te doy.
Dos son por gemir, dos por sonre
Cuatro rosas is a song by Tachenko that speaks about a heartbroken person who is pining away for someone they cannot have. In the opening line, the singer speaks of four roses that are offered in honor of the person they desire. The roses are kept in a vase, and the singer says that two of the four roses are for the tears they have shed in sorrow, while the other two are for the moments when they have smiled thinking about the person. This line can be interpreted in different ways - the singer could be thanking the person for the happy moments they shared, or they could be lamenting the fact that even thinking about the person brings them pain.
The next stanza talks about a carousel, which the singer says they rode with the person. The carousel could be symbolic of the ups and downs in their relationship, where sometimes things were going well, and other times not so much. The singer then talks about how they wish to be near the person, to sit and talk and laugh with them, and feel their warmth. This line speaks to the small joys of connection that one craves when in love.
Overall, the song speaks to the bittersweet nature of love and longing, and how one can simultaneously feel intense pain and joy thinking about the person they desire.
