I picked my first rose in kindergarten
And a Daisy, a Jasmine, a Lily, and Carmen
But out of all of them, I only had fallen in love with a Rosalinda
For those who don't know thats a pretty rose
That you hold in your hand for the world to know
From the bricks, to the burbs to the barrio
Yo, she is my Rosalinda
When everybody was going crazy over Daisy and Lily
I had my eyes on Rosalinda and she had her eyes on me
And ever since she rose from the ground, she made my heart pound
Now everyone around knows she's my Rosalinda, my linda(3x)
Rosalinda, we're leaving tomorrow
Rosalinda don't tell Pablo
Rosalinda, te juro que te amo
Rosalinda, she's my Rosalinda
I loved her from the start
I said "I loved her from the start" (she's my Rosalinda)
Don't tell Pablo
That we're leaving, that we're leaving
That we're leaving tomorrow
Now when I was a teenager in junior high
When we used to skip school and the girls were shy
I used to wait for her 'til she came outside
So i can see my Rosalinda
She was always by my side, hand-in-hand just like my bride
And since then I realized that one day Rosalinda be mine
And when everybody was into parties
And just hangin' on the streets
I had my eyes on Rosalinda, and she had her eyes on me
And ever since she rose from the ground, she made my heart pound
Now everyone around knows she's my Rosalinda, my linda (3x)
She's my Rosalinda (my heart)
I loved her from the start (you don't have to tell Pablo)
She's my Rosalinda (just jump inside my carro)
Cuz we leavin, cuz we leavin, we leaving tomorrow
I always thought of my Linda
Ever since I left and in years I haven't seen her
And when I came back to see her
My Rosalinda said "you're a day-dreamer"
Y me dice que tiene miedo, never been in love my este llesto
Dice que el amor habeses ciego, pero yo me la llevo...ooooowoowoowoo
Rosalinda, WE LEAVIN TOMORROW
Ooh Rosa, DON'T TELL PABLO
Oh Rosa we leavin tomorrow
Estoy esperando
Way back then, she was my darlin
Way back then, with Rose in my garden, way back then
I knew I had fallen, fallen, fallen
For an angel
