*They call me The Wild Rose

But my name was Elisa Day

Why they call me it I do not know

For my name was Elisa Day

From the first day I saw I knew she was the one

As she stared in my eyes and smiled

For her lips were the color of the roses

That grew down the river, all bloody and wild

When he knocked on my door and entered the room

My trembling subsided in his sure embrace

He would be my first man, and with a careful hand

He wiped at the tears that ran down my face

Repeat *

On the second day I brought her a flower

She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen

I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow

So sweet and scarlet and free?

On the second day he came with a single red rose

Said: "Will you give me your loss and your sorrow?"

I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed

He said, "If I show you the roses will you follow?"

Repeat *

On the third day he took me to the river

He showed me the roses and we kissed

And the last thing I heard was a muttered word

As he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow

And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief

As I kissed her goodbye, I said, "All beauty must die"

And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

Repeat *

*他們叫我野玫瑰

但我的名字是Elisa Day

我不知道他們為什麼這樣叫我

因為我的名字是Elisa Day (黑貓)

第一天見面，我就知道他是唯一

當她看著我的眼睛並且微笑

她的嘴唇是玫瑰的顏色

那些長在河邊的玫瑰，血紅且狂野

當他敲響我的門走進房間

在他堅定擁抱中我的戰慄平息了

他將是我的第一個男人，

他用手輕輕擦去我臉上滑落的淚水

重覆*

第二天我帶給她一朵花

她比所有我曾見過的女人都要美麗

我說：“你是否知道何處的野玫瑰長得

如此甜美，鮮紅和自由

第二天他帶來一朵孤獨的紅玫瑰

說：”你是否願意把你的失落和悲傷交給我？

我點點頭，在床上躺下

他說：”如果我指給你看那些玫瑰你是否會跟著我來？

重覆*

第三天他帶我去了那條河邊

讓我看那些玫瑰然後我們接吻

我最後聽到的是一句呢喃

當他手裏拿著一塊石頭笑著站在我上面

最後一天我帶她到野玫瑰生長的地方

她躺在河堤上，連風也輕飄得不敢驚動她

當我向她吻別，我說"美的歸宿終是死亡"

我種了一朵玫瑰在她的唇間

重覆*
