English lyric:

Verse 1:

Love is a rose and it grows like a rose.
I found a rose nestled in someone's hair.
Sweet was the rose, and never a maid was so fair;

Chorus:

In her eyes, there was moonlight,
And a rose in her hair;
In my arms there was no one,
So, I just put her there.
On her lips was a promise,
In my heart was a pray'r;
When I finally went,
I went home with the scent
Of the rose in her hair.

Verse 2 (from British sheet music):

Love is a bloom, but for whom does it bloom?
Maybe for me, my romance lives, who knows?
Where can she be, who stole my poor heart with a rose?

[Chorus]

Italian lyric:

Verse:

Rosa d'amor nel giardin reg'ni_og'nor.
Sei tu regi na dei fio ri_e del l'amor;
Dolce profumo, olezzo incantator.

Chorus:

Negli_occhi tuoi di sole,
Brilla sempre l'amor;
Che_ine bri_i nostri cuori,
Col grande tuo fervor.
Il labbro tuo di rosa,
Freme tutto d'amor,
Vieni cara_al mio_amplesso,
Felice complesso,
Oh rosa d'amor.
