Rose-red

A girl saw a little rose
It bloomed there in great heights
She asked her sweetheart
If he could fetch it for her

She wants it and that's fine
So it was and so it will always be
She wants it and that's the custom
Whatever she wants, she gets

Deep wells must be dug
If you want clear water
Rose-red, oh Rose-red
Deep waters don't run still

The boy climbs the mountain in torment
He doesn't really care about the view
Only the little rose is on his mind
He brings it to his sweetheart

She wants it and that's fine
So it was and so it will always be
She wants it and that's the custom
Whatever she wants, she gets

Deep wells must be dug
If you want clear water
Rose-red, oh Rose-red
Deep waters don't run still

Deep wells must be dug
If you want clear water
Rose-red, oh Rose-red
Deep waters don't run still

At his boots, a stone breaks
Doesn't want to be on the cliff anymore
And a scream lets everyone know
Both are falling to the ground

She wants it and that's fine
So it was and so it will always be
She wants it and that's the custom
Whatever she wants, she gets

Deep wells must be dug
If you want clear water
Rose-red, oh Rose-red
Deep waters don't run still

Deep wells must be dug
If you want clear water
Rose-red, oh Rose-red
Deep waters don't run still
