Rose, Rose, I Love You
|
*******Frankie Lane version. Music by Chen Gexin
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, Make way, for my Eastern Rose,
Many thousand dozens, everywhere she goes.
In a rickshaw or on a street, or in a cabaret,
Please make way for Rose, you can hear them say.
All my love I shall remember,
Oriental music and you in my arms.
Perfume flowers in your tresses,
Lotus and the breezes and swaying palms.
Rose, Rose, I love you, with your almond eyes,
Fragrant and slender under tropical skies.
I must cross the seas again, and never see you more,
Way back to my home on a distant shore.
Rose, Rose, I leave you, my ship is in the bay,
Kiss me farewell now, there's nothing more to say.
East is East and West is West,our worlds are far apart,
I must leave you but I leave my heart.
