Camino De Rosas Lyrics in English Alejandro Sanz

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

SONG MEANING

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.
