Lyrics

0:10Love burns in a young man's heart

0:15He would give her the moon and the stars

0:19And all the Treasures of the Pharaohs for a moment in her arms;

0:28To the Ball with him she will go if her brings a red red rose

0:37But there is only a rose of white in his garden green;

0:47And calling up to the sky the birds heard his lonely cry;

0:57"Sing for her sweet Nightingale tell her of my love

1:06Bring for her sweet Nightingale a red red rose of love;

1:18Said the tree to the Nightingale

1:22"Upon this thorn you must impale your heart

1:28And then the blood will turn this white rose red;"

1:35All night the little bird sang

1:40But in the morning she was gone

1:44And beside her on the ground lay a red red rose;

1:54When the boy found it there joy came from his despair;

2:03"You sang for her sweet Nightingale

2:08You told her of my love

2:12You bring for her sweet Nightingale

2:17This red red rose of love;"

2:24So he brought her the beautiful rose

2:29"To the Ball with me you will go "

2:33"But no " she said "I have jewels instead

2:40Another has won my heart and from you

2:46Now I must part so take your foolish rose and go "

3:17Sing for her sweet Nightingale

3:21Sing from Heaven above

3:26Bring for her sweet Nightingale

3:30The wisdom that is love the wisdom that is love

Love burns in a young man's heart
He would give her the moon and the stars
And all the Treasures of the Pharaohs for a moment in her arms;
To the Ball with him she will go  if her brings a red  red rose
But there is only a rose of white in his garden green;
And calling up to the sky  the birds heard his lonely cry;
"Sing for her sweet Nightingale  tell her of my love
Bring for her sweet Nightingale a red  red rose of love;
Said the tree to the Nightingale
"Upon this thorn you must impale your heart
And then the blood will turn this white rose red;"
All night  the little bird sang
But in the morning she was gone
And beside her on the ground lay a red  red rose;
When the boy found it there  joy came from his despair;
"You sang for her  sweet Nightingale
You told her of my love
You bring for her  sweet Nightingale
This red  red rose of love;"
So he brought her the beautiful rose
"To the Ball with me you will go "
"But no " she said  "I have jewels instead
Another has won my heart  and from you
Now I must part  so take your foolish rose and go "
Sing for her sweet Nightingale
Sing from Heaven above
Bring for her sweet Nightingale
The wisdom that is love  the wisdom that is love
