On the street, on the corner, in the plaza, on the block, man

Verse 2

Rosario Tijeras is back, so that you hide

And her name was Rosario, from the hood she was the boss

With her gun in her hand always ready to kill

In hate and heartbreak Rosario was number one

She never loved nor was she loved

And in her eyes pain always existed

It was all because in her childhood

A b*stard raped her and she got revenge

She was Rosario Tijeras

The one with gun, little mirror and lipstick in her purse always full of vice

Sex, bullets, pleasure and pain

The one of a thousand and one lives bam bam bam!

Rosario

She never loved nor was she loved

And in her eyes pain always existed

And it all was because in her childhood

A b*stard raped her and she got revenge

And she confused love, it was a bullet that entered her heart

She never ever cried and in her soul a sob was always heard

Of the many she killed one came badly wounded and got revenge

Rosario died like that and in the cemetery nobody cried for her

And in her eyes pain always existed

And it all was because in her childhood

A b*stard raped her and she got revenge

And she confused love, it was a bullet that entered her heart

She never ever cried and in her soul a sob was always heard

Of the many she killed one came badly wounded and got revenge

Rosario died like that and in the cemetery nobody cried for her

And she confused love

She never ever cried

Of the many she killed one came badly wounded and got revenge

Rosario died like that and in the cemetery nobody cried for her

SONG MEANING

Rosario Tijeras plunges listeners into the vibrant yet dangerous streets of Medellín, where whispers of a legendary woman echo from every corner. Rosario strides through plazas and alleys with a pistol, a mirror and bright lipstick tucked in her purse, blending glamour with lethal precision. She is the barrio’s undisputed queen, feared for her quick trigger and admired for her fearless aura, living in a whirlwind of sex, bullets, pleasure and pain.

Behind the tough façade lies a heartbreaking origin: a childhood assault that shattered her innocence and transformed love into a quest for revenge. Her heart is pierced not by Cupid’s arrow but by a bullet, leaving her incapable of tears even as invisible sobs haunt her soul. Juanes turns Rosario’s rise and fall into a cautionary tale about the cycle of violence—how unresolved trauma can morph into relentless vengeance until, in the end, the avenger becomes the victim. When Rosario finally meets her fate, the cemetery is silent, underscoring the tragedy of a life consumed by pain and retribution.
