SAD ROSES

Over in the mountains above our village
There is a rose garden
Tomorrow I’ll go out early in the morning
With the chirping of the birds

I will bring my love a flower
From the field of red ones
And know that I am his
and he is mine forever

I came down from the mountain to our village
With roses in my hair
But my beloved isn’t home
The rooms are quiet

Over at the river by our village
My love did not return at night
He found another love
And my heart broke

Oh Lord, make him come back
I wait day and night
No, I don’t have strength for another day
The roses are sad, and he isn’t here

No, Lord make him come back
I wait day and night.
No, I don’t have strength for another day
The roses are sad, He isn’t here…
