Roselin: A Portrait of Selfless Compassion
Lyrics
Roselin´s preparing a big party
Roselin is preparing a large celebration or event.
She's been cooking, for at least 50
She has been cooking for at least 50 people.
Peoples coming, but not to her own house
People are coming, but not to her own residence.
She's always helping, always helping someone else out
Roselin is consistently helping others, always assisting someone else in need.
Roselin put a lot of trust in her God
Roselin places a lot of faith in her God.
She's thankful for all the things she got
She is grateful for all the things she has received.
She sleeps on the floor, she says
She prefers to sleep on the floor, finding it the most comfortable way to rest.
That's the most comfortable way to get some rest
Her choice of sleeping on the floor is her way of achieving rest.
Roselin´s birthdays on the 26th - Aaaa

Don't know what I should do, what I should get - Aaaa

Wish I could be there, wish that I could see
The singer wishes they could be present and witness Roselin's celebration.
But she's million miles away from me
Roselin is physically distant, being very far away (metaphorically "a million miles") from the singer.
Roselin, takes care of little Cathleen

Didn't know that life could be that hard
Roselin didn't anticipate life being so difficult for Cathleen.
And she never complains not even to her own God
Roselin never complains, not even to her God, despite the challenges.

But she's million miles away from me

Roselin doesn't know how to be saved

Hasn't got a family, she chose another than they gave
She doesn't have a traditional family but chose another form of family for herself.
And evening he's gone with his bottles of beer
In the evenings, someone (possibly a man) is often absent while drinking alcohol, leaving Roselin alone.
While she's alone, wish I could be there
The singer wishes they could be there to support Roselin in her loneliness.
