Lyrics
English: Do you adore the rose of the topics... / My shy rose is the sweetest rose that anybody could ever know... / My love is waiting in a land that is across the sea / My poor heart is rejoicing as shy rose of Asia comes to me / My shy rose of Vietnam, the sweetest I ever knew / Someday I'll return and taste her sweetness anew / When winds are blowing in the East / And the fragrance blows in the breeze / My thoughts wonder back to where / We loved beneath the bamboo trees / My shy rose of Vietnam, the sweetest I ever knew / Someday I'll return and taste her sweetness anew
