Rose Rose I love you
Rose, Rose I love you
with an aching heart
What is your future?
now we have to part
Standing on the jetty
as the steamer moves away
Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay
Make way, oh, make way
for my Eastern Rose
Men crowd in dozens
everywhere she goes
In her rickshaw on the street
or in a cabaret
"Please make way for Rose"
you can hear them say
All my life I shall remember
Oriental music and you in my arms
Perfumed flowers in your tresses
Lotus-scented breezes
and swaying palms
Rose, Rose I love you
with your almond eyes
Fragrant and slender '
neath tropical skies
I must cross the seas again
and never see you more '
way back to my home
on a distant shore
(All my life I shall remember)
(Oriental music and you in my arms)
(Perfumed flowers in your tresses)
(Lotus-scented breezes
and swaying palms)
Rose, Rose I leave you
my ship is in the bay
Kiss me farewell now
there's nothin' to say
East is East and West is West
our worlds are far apart
I must leave you now
but I leave my heart
Rose, Rose I love you
with an aching heart
What is your future?
now we have to part
Standing on the jetty
as the steamer moves away
Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay
(Rose, Rose I love you I cannot stay)
玫瑰玫瑰最娇美
玫瑰玫瑰最艳丽
春夏开在枝头上
玫瑰玫瑰我爱你
玫瑰玫瑰情意重
玫瑰玫瑰情意浓
春夏开在荆刺里
玫瑰玫瑰我爱你
心的誓约，新的情意
圣洁的光辉照大地
with an aching heart
What is your future?
now we have to part
Standing on the jetty
as the steamer moves away
Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay
Make way, oh, make way
for my Eastern Rose
