rose rose I love you
Rose, Rose I love you with an aching heart
玫瑰 玫瑰 我愛你又心疼
What is your future?, now we have to part
未來你會怎樣？要分開了
Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away
汽船離開你還站在碼頭
Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay
馬來亞之花我無法留下
成功成功我的東方玫瑰
Make way, oh, make way for my Eastern Rose
男人一群群無論她去哪
Men crowd in dozens everywhere she goes
黃包車或者歌舞酒店
In her rickshaw on the street or in a cabaret
他們喊為玫瑰鼓掌
'Please make way for Rose' you can hear them say
終生難忘
亞洲旋律你在我臂彎
All my life I shall remember
香花你發間
Oriental music and you in my arms
微風帶來蓮花香那是你手臂搖擺
Perfumed flowers in your tresses
玫瑰玫瑰我愛你鑽石般的眼
Lotus-scented breezes and swaying palms
芳香苗條熱帶藍天下
我要跨洋再也見不到你了
Rose, Rose I love you with your almond eyes
回到大洋對岸我的家
Fragrant and slender 'neath tropical skies
終生難忘
I must cross the seas again and never see you more
東方曲調你在懷
'way back to my home on a distant shore
香花你發間
微風帶來蓮花香那是你手臂搖擺
(All my life I shall remember)
玫瑰玫瑰我愛你可我的船已到港灣
(Oriental music and you in my arms)
吻別吧無話可說
(Perfumed flowers in your tresses )
東方是東方西方是西方我們的世界分離太遠
(Lotus-scented breezes and swaying palms)
我得走了可留下了我的心
玫瑰玫瑰我愛你又心疼
Rose, Rose I leave you, my ship is in the bay
你的未來會怎樣？我得走了
Kiss me farewell now, there's nothin' to say
汽船離開你還在碼頭上
East is East and West is West, our worlds are far apart
馬來亞之花我沒法留下
I must leave you now but I leave my heart
(玫瑰玫瑰我愛你可我沒法留下)
完畢(猜測是不懂東方語言的洋人，在船上無聊時，根據曲調自編的歌詞)
Rose, Rose I love you with an achingheart
What is your future?, now we have to part
Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away
Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay
(Rose, Rose I love you , I cannot stay)
