Una Rosa Es Una Rosa

It's all because of a woman
That I'm going crazy
I can't live without her
But I can't live with her either

And if this heartache
Takes me to the grave
Don't send me flowers
'Cause like this rumba says

I wanted to cut the flower
Softest in the rosebush
Thinking that in love
I wouldn't get pricked

And while I was getting pricked
She taught me one thing
That a rose is a rose is a rose

And when I opened my hand
And let it fall
My wounds started to bleed
The sores on my skin
And with her petals
She healed me gently
That a rose is a rose is a rose

But the more she heals me
The more it stings later
'Cause loving is the start
Of the word bitterness

A lie and a creed
For every thorn on the stem
Ingraining in my fingers
A rose is a rosary

I wanted to cut the flower
Softest in the rosebush
Thinking that in love
I wouldn't get pricked
And while I was getting pricked
She taught me one thing
That a rose is a rose is a rose

When I opened my hand
And let it fall
My wounds started to bleed
The sores on my skin
And with her petals
She healed me gently
That a rose is a rose is a rose
