The sweetest flower that blooms, I give it to you as farewell. For you it is a rose; For me it is my heart. The sweetest flower that blooms, I give it to you as farewell. For you it is a rose; For me it is my heart. **Chorus:** Oh, my love, it blooms for you, A fragrance sweet, forever true. It fades only when the heart is still, My endless love, against my will. The fragrance it exhales (Ah, if you only knew!), Which only fades in death, Is my love for you. **Chorus:** Oh, my love, it blooms for you, A fragrance sweet, forever true. It fades only when the heart is still, My endless love, against my willl. The sweetest flower that blooms, I give it to you as farewell. For you it is a rose; For me it is my heart. The sweetest flower that blooms, I give it to you as farewell. For you it is a rose; For me it is my heart. **Chorus:** Oh, my love, it blooms for you, A fragrance sweet, forever true. It fades only when the heart is still, My endless love, against my will.
