Tulipanes Lyrics in English Chiara Oliver , Pablo López

Late-night calls, wilting tulips, and a heart that finally learned its worth – that is the vivid setting of Tulipanes, the emotional duet by Italian singer-songwriter Chiara Oliver and Spanish artist Pablo López. At 3 a.m. the ex shows up with a bouquet that once meant everything, but time has shifted the singer’s tastes from tulips to daisies and from naïve hope to clear-eyed realism. The lyrics jump between ages seventeen and twenty, revealing how three short years can turn youthful dreams into firm boundaries and nostalgic words into empty noise.

What follows is a confident refusal of “too little, too late.” Each apology and flower petal reminds the narrator of chances already missed, of a train that has long since left the station. Instead of collapsing into old patterns, the song celebrates choosing self-respect over recycled promises. Tulipanes blooms as an empowering pop ballad about recognizing cowardice, closing the door on half-hearted love, and saving room for something braver and brighter than a forgotten bouquet.
