[00:09.60]Rose, Rose I love you with an aching heart.
[00:11.82]What is your future, now we have to part?
[00:14.88]Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away,
[00:16.50]Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay.
[00:17.28]Make way, oh, make way for my Eastern Rose.
[00:19.26]Men crowd in dozens everywhere she goes.
[00:21.24]In her rickshaw on the street or in a cabaret,
[00:22.26]"Please make way for Rose," you can hear them say.
[00:24.18]All my life I shall remember,
[00:36.75]Oriental music and you in my arms.
[00:41.79]Perfumed flowers in your tresses,
[00:45.96]Lotus-scented breezes and swaying palms.
[00:48.63]Rose, Rose I love you with your almond eyes.
[00:52.44]Fragrant and slender 'neath tropical skies.
[00:57.72]I must cross the seas again and never see you more.
[01:00.39]Way back to my home on a distant shore.
[01:04.65](All my life I shall remember,)
[01:18.15](Oriental music and you in my arms.)
[01:20.70](Perfumed flowers in your tresses,)
[01:27.36](Lotus-scented breezes and swaying palms.)
[01:30.06]Rose, Rose I leave you, my ship is in the bay.
[01:31.05]Kiss me farewell now, there's nothing to say.
[01:32.61]East is East and West is West, our worlds are far apart.
[01:34.98]I must leave you now but I leave my heart.
[01:35.85]Rose, Rose I love you with an aching heart.
[01:37.50]What is your future, now we have to part?
[01:41.10]Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away,
[01:45.75]Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay.
[01:47.19](Rose, Rose I love you, I cannot stay.)

Rose, Rose I love you with an aching heart.
What is your future, now we have to part?
Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away,
Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay.
Make way, oh, make way for my Eastern Rose.
Men crowd in dozens everywhere she goes.
In her rickshaw on the street or in a cabaret,
"Please make way for Rose," you can hear them say.
All my life I shall remember,
Oriental music and you in my arms.
Perfumed flowers in your tresses,
Lotus-scented breezes and swaying palms.
Rose, Rose I love you with your almond eyes.
Fragrant and slender 'neath tropical skies.
I must cross the seas again and never see you more.
Way back to my home on a distant shore.
(All my life I shall remember,)
(Oriental music and you in my arms.)
(Perfumed flowers in your tresses,)
(Lotus-scented breezes and swaying palms.)
Rose, Rose I leave you, my ship is in the bay.
Kiss me farewell now, there's nothing to say.
East is East and West is West, our worlds are far apart.
I must leave you now but I leave my heart.
Rose, Rose I love you with an aching heart.
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.)
