[English]
When I left that place
I had to be strong so I wouldn't cry
I couldn't escape his sad gaze
And inside me I can still hear
His voice saying, "I'll wait for you"
When I left that place
I asked her to leave a sign
That would be a rose on his balcony
And that when I returned, I would take it
So I'd know that you're there
Leave a rose on your balcony
I place my heart in your hands
My hope will always be
To be back in your arms
Leave a rose on your balcony
You will brighten my loneliness
I dream of seeing you once more
Today, while you're far away, I love you more and more
Leave a rose on your balcony
I place my heart in your hands
My hope will always be
To be back in your arms
Leave a rose on your balcony
You will brighten my loneliness
I dream of seeing you once more
Today, while you're far away, I love you more and more
