Choram as Rosas (Lloran las Rosas)

The song 'Choram As Rosas' by the Brazilian sertanejo duo Bruno e Marrone is a poignant ballad that delves into the themes of love, loss, and longing. The title, which translates to 'The Roses Cry' in English, sets a metaphorical stage for the expression of deep emotional pain associated with a lost love. The lyrics personify roses, traditionally symbols of love and passion, as crying, which suggests that even nature mourns the end of the relationship.

The verses of the song describe the singer's profound sense of loss, comparing his soul to a wounded bird, searching for his lost love in dreams. The repeated imagery of tears ('lágrimas') throughout the song emphasizes the depth of the singer's sorrow. These tears are described as 'palavras da alma' (words of the soul) and 'a pura linguagem do amor' (the pure language of love), indicating that the singer's grief is both a deeply personal and universally understood expression of love's pain.

The chorus reinforces the sense of absence and yearning, as the singer laments the loss of his lover's scent and the emptiness that follows. The phrase 'eu choro por ti' (I cry for you) encapsulates the essence of the song—a heartache so intense that it permeates the singer's entire being, leaving everything else 'sem graça' (without charm). The song's emotional weight is carried by the sertanejo style, known for its storytelling and ability to evoke strong feelings, making 'Choram As Rosas' a touching portrayal of love's aftermath.
