A Red Rose Is Growing
A red rose is growingBy the side of a great road
- What are you growing and blooming for?
Why are you teasing the lads?
- Why wouldn't I grow and bloom,
Why wouldn't I tease the lads
Why wouldn't I tease the lads
Throughout the whole summer
Dear brother is riding off to war
With a cap that hasn't been adorned
- Go, dear sister, to the garden
Adorn brother's cap
She adorned it while singing
She escorted him while weeping
- Why are you weeping, dear sister,
Are you mourning for the bloom?
- I do not mourn for the bloom,
I am sorry for you
Warriors have a short life
Like a summer's afternoon
Like a summer's afternoon
Like a bubble of water
The spirit of a warrior
Is sitting on the tip of a sword
It's sitting on the tip of a sword
By the side of a fire
