He placed a fragrant red rose in my hand.
The candles glowed warmly.
My heart is full – full to breaking.
A violin plays on, a mournful minor melody
reverberating the hearts of those who hold happiness.
The violin plays on, the candles glow warmly,
the rose of half of a lifetime ago is still fragrant.
The shell is full –full to breaking.
Our stars are wild this night,
richly warm.

"I gave my love a red, red rose," in this land, this night.
half a lifetime ago.
Our voices blend as lovers blend,
into melting closeness.

Listen to the stillness–
suddenly is seems very still –
