The Rose

My love said to me

"A hero you'll be

If you bring me the rose of love"

So today I must go

Where the wide rivers flow

Down from the hills above

From beginning to end

Who will guide me, my friend

For the difficult task that she chose?

Oh, will the sun and the rain

From whose bosom I came

Show me the way to the rose?

For my true love I yearn

But I'll never ever return

Till I find where that red lady grows

Oh, when I find her, I'll sing

And the mission bells will ring

The news that I've captured the rose

The news that I've captured the rose

The news that I've captured the rose
