Querida Rosa Lyrics in English Cami

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Querida Rosa by Cami from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
Let's go back
Let's tell the story
Of a rose
Red, the color
Like that of my heart
I couldn't let her go
I carried her in my hands
Without hurting her
She was my love
Her thorns cut me
I didn't care
Chorus 1
Dear rose, I came to water you
With my tears
How much you made me cry!
How much you loved me!
I arrived late, you were wilted
And you left me all alone
Dear rose
Verse 2
Today I came to show you
I came to show you the marks
On my hands
How do I stop the pain?
I need another flower
Without thorns, please
Chorus 2
Dear rose, I came to water you
With my tears
How much you made me cry!
How much you loved me!
I arrived late, you were wilted
And you left me all alone
Dear rose
Dear rose, I came to water you
With my tears
How much you made me cry!
How much you loved me!
I arrived late, you were wilted
And you left me all alone
Dear rose
Outro
Dear rose
Dear rose, rose
Dear rose
Dear rose

SONG MEANING

“Querida Rosa” paints love as a fragile rose that the singer cradles with all her heart. At first the flower is vibrant red, mirroring the excitement of a new romance, and she is willing to endure every thorn that cuts her skin. Her tears become water for the petals, showing how devotion often comes with pain. Yet when she finally stops to look, the rose has wilted. The love she thought she was nurturing is gone, leaving only scars on her hands and a flood of unanswered questions.

The song unfolds like a bittersweet fairy tale about learning when to let go. Cami’s lyrics capture the moment you realize you arrived too late to save something beautiful, even after giving it everything. The chorus repeats her plea to the rose, emphasizing both her sorrow and the irony that the flower “loved her so much” it left her alone. In the end she longs for “another flower, without thorns,” hinting at hope for a kinder love in the future while accepting the lessons etched into her skin.
