Camino De Rosas Lyrics in English Alejandro Sanz

Home / Lyrics translation / Alejandro Sanz / Camino De Rosas

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Camino De Rosas by Alejandro Sanz from Spanish to English.

Come

When whatever is coming comes, it's already yesterday

That you don't play with time

Don't make things up

I don't feel that I'm falling asleep and

Verse 1

To begin

Yesterday

Verse 1

But the thing is that you

You convert, invert, have fun, that is your virtue

You laugh at time

And at its magnitude

Verse 1

And you make me forget

Yesterday

Chorus 1

I am the commander

Of your elegant steps

Chorus 1

The general of your destinies

The captain of your mouth

And what amazes me most is that I don't know

About you, only that you appear and become law

But I forgot your name and that's what there is

I don't dare to ask you again

Path of roses

For whoever knows it

Chorus 1

Path of thorns

For the one who arrives late

Chorus 1

I walk slowly

That everything amazes me

Chorus 1

After this date I learn your name

Path of roses

For whoever knows it

Chorus 1

Path of thorns

For the one who arrives late

Chorus 1

I walk slowly so that everything amazes me

After this date I learn your name

I am the commander

Of your elegant steps

Chorus 1

The general of your destinies

And the captain of your mouth

And what amazes me most is that you don't see

That when you show up, girl, I turn you into law

Chorus 1

But I forgot your name and that's what there is

I don't dare to ask you

Again

Chorus 1

Path of roses

For whoever knows it

Chorus 1

Path of thorns

For the one who arrives late

Chorus 1

I walk slowly

That everything amazes me

Chorus 1

After this date I learn your name

Path of roses

For whoever knows it

Chorus 1

Path of thorns

For the one who arrives late

Chorus 1

I walk slowly

That everything amazes me

Chorus 1

After this date I learn your name

Outro

After this date

I learn your name

After this date

I learn your name

Did you like this lyrics translation?

asombra — amazes / astonishes

Asombra comes from the verb asombrar, meaning "to amaze" or "to astonish". It's a strong verb that conveys a sense of wonder and surprise.

In "Camino De Rosas", Alejandro Sanz uses asombra to express his profound wonder at the mysterious nature of the person he's singing about. He sings, "Y lo que más me asombra es que no sé de ti más que apareces y te conviertes en ley" (And what amazes me most is that I know nothing about you other than you appear and become law). This highlights the captivating and almost magical influence this person has on him, making it a key word to understand the song's emotional core.

Alejandro Sanz invites us on a camino where time bends, memories blur and a mysterious woman turns every second into an adventure. In “Camino de Rosas,” he plays with contrasts: roses vs. thorns, past vs. present, command vs. surrender. The singer pictures himself as “el comandante” of her elegant steps and the captain of her lips, yet he can’t even remember her name. That funny contradiction captures the song’s heart: love can make you feel in control while simultaneously leaving you utterly disarmed.

The repeated refrain tells us that the road is lined with roses for those who already understand this fleeting magic, but it becomes a painful path of thorns for anyone who hesitates or arrives late. Sanz urges us to move slowly enough for everything to amaze us, because the moment is all we truly have. In the end, he promises that after this date he will finally learn her name, hinting that genuine connection lies just beyond the next step—if we dare to keep walking.
