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
|
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.
|
When i find her, I'll sing,
|
And the mission bells will ring
|
The news that I've captured The Rose.
