As Rosas Não Falam

As Rosas Não Falam is one of the most famous works by Cartola, one of the greatest composers in the history of Brazilian samba. Written in the 1970s, the song depicts the composers unrequited love for a woman named Zica, who later became his wife. Through metaphorical and poetic lyrics, Cartola expresses the pain and beauty of love, using roses as a symbol of unspoken feelings.
