《September Rose》的詞曲作者是奧地利作曲家Josef Mysliveček,這首歌是一首具有傳統德國民謠風味的優美情歌。
其歌詞如下:
Verse 1:
September rose, on the wane,
From June roses, no more must stray;
A man in love, from the sun,
Has to settle, as does June.
Chorus:
For his true love, he’ll not tarry,
His heart shall never roam again;
She is all in all to him,
His heart will never be content again.
Verse 2:
As he strolls by the garden door,
A dream in his heart so true;
A rose that was red, now so dear,
To him now, it is more than you.
Chorus:
For his true love, he’ll not tarry,
His heart shall never roam again;
She is all in all to him,
His heart will never be content again.
Bridge:
He’ll cherish her, as a rose,
In his garden of love so true;
And though he may roam far and wide,
She will stay where she first took root.
Chorus:
For his true love, he’ll not tarry,
For she’s the springtime of his days;
A September rose he will love,
And for ever more they’ll be.
