ROSE Lyrics (English Translation) – HANA

ROSE (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
The singer is saying that she keeps her true self hidden and doesn’t let others know what she’s thinking. People assume she’s innocent, but in reality, she’s much stronger and more unpredictable than they think. She might look sweet, but inside, she’s powerful and can be dangerous if underestimated.

[Pre-Chorus]
She challenges someone to come closer and test her. People say she’s dangerous, and she acknowledges that. She warns them that approaching her might come with risks, and they could end up regretting it. However, the choice is entirely up to them.

[Chorus]
She compares herself to a rose—beautiful but covered in sharp thorns. Her heart isn’t something others can claim easily. Even in difficult situations, she refuses to be broken. No matter how harsh the world is, she will continue to grow and embrace her true self.

[Verse 2]
She reflects on how people come and go in life, and time has passed. Some people have grown, while others have faded away. She mentions that even her own thorns have hurt her, but if someone really wants to get close to her, they will be drawn in despite the risks. The question is whether they can handle it.

[Pre-Chorus]
Once again, she warns that getting close to her isn’t easy. She knows she’s seen as dangerous, and she reminds the listener that they’ve been warned. If they still choose to take that step, they might regret it, but it’s their decision to make.

[Chorus]
She repeats the idea of being like a rose—something beautiful but not without its dangers. Her heart isn’t something to be taken lightly. Even in a cruel world, she continues to bloom, embracing her own strength and identity.

[Verse 3]
She describes feeling lost and disconnected, as if she can’t see the brightness of life. People don’t truly understand what she’s going through. Despite her struggles, even when she has nothing left to give, others still doubt her. But she keeps finding the strength to stand back up.

[Verse 4]
She admits that sometimes she feels weak, unable to move forward. She struggles with being alive, feeling the weight of existence. However, despite those feelings, she knows she can’t give up. Even if life is difficult, she wants to find reasons to be thankful for it.

[Bridge]
She once again embraces her identity as a thorn-covered rose. No matter how ugly the world gets, she will rise above it. Even if she’s hurt and wounded, she won’t let it stop her. She’s ready to move forward and embrace her own survival, blooming despite everything she’s been through.

[Chorus]
She reinforces her message—she is like a rose, both beautiful and sharp. Her heart is not for others to claim. No matter how tough things get, she will continue to grow and show her true self, no longer hiding behind a false image.

[Outro]
She ends the song by reaffirming her strength. Even in difficult times, she continues to bloom. She no longer hides who she is, embracing both her beauty and her thorns.
