Chris De Burgh - Rose Of England Lyrics






Hear my voice and listen well, and a story I will tell,
How duty brought a broken heart, and why a love so strong
Must fall apart;

She was lovely, she was fine, daughter of a royal line,
He, no equal, but for them it mattered little for they were in love;

Rose of England, sweet and fair, shining with the sun,
Rose of England, have a care, for where the thorn is,
There the blood will run;

Oh my heart, oh my heart;

Through the summer days and nights, stolen kisses and delights
Would thrill their hearts and fill their dreams with all emotions
That true love can bring;

But black of mourning came one day, when her sister passed away,
And many said on bended knee, she has gone, and you must be our Queen;

Rose of England, sweet and fair, shining with the sun,
Rose of England, have a care, for where the thorn is,
There the blood will run;

Oh my heart, oh my heart;

To the abbey she did ride, with her lover by her side,
When they heard the church bells ring, she was Queen
And one day, he'd be King;

But men of malice, men of hate, protesting to her chambers came,
"A foreign prince will have your hand, for he'll bring peace
And riches to our land;"
She said, "Do you tell me that I cannot wed the one I love?
Do you tell me that I am not mistress of my heart?"

And so with heavy weight of life she kissed her lover one last time,
"This land I wed, and no man comes, for if I cannot have you, I'll have
None;"

Rose of England, sweet and fair, shining with the sun,
Rose of England have a care, for where the thorn is,
There the blood will run;

Oh my heart, oh my heart.

  1. M.... ....

    RÓŻA ANGLII
    Usłysz mój głos i słuchaj dobrze, histori jaką opowiem,
    Jak poczucie obowiązku złamało serce, i dlaczego miłość tak silna,
    Musiała się rozpaść

    Ona była piękna, była porządną córką królewskiego rodu,
    On, nie miał sobie równych, ale dla nich nie miało to większego znaczenia bo byli zakochani

    Róża Anglii, słodka i uczciwa, lśniąca w słońcu,
    Róża Anglii, chroń się przed jej kolcami
    Bo pocieknie krew

    Och moje serce, och moje serce

    Przez letnie dni i noce, skradzionych pocałunków smak
    Czy może wstrząsnąć ich serca i wypełnić marzenia wszystkimi emocjami
    Jakie prawdziwa miłość przynosi

    Ale czerń żałoby przyszła pewnego dnia, kiedy jej siostra odeszła,
    I wielu mówi na klęczkach, ona odeszła, musisz być naszą Królową

    Róża Anglii, słodka i uczciwa, lśniąca w słońcu,
    Róża Anglii, chroń się przed jej kolcami
    Bo pocieknie krew

    Och moje serce, och moje serce

    Do opactwa przyjechała z kochankiem u boku,
    Kiedy usłyszeli kościelnych dzwonów dźwięk, stała się Królową
    I pewnego dnia on byłby Królem

    Ale ludzie życzący źle, ludzie nienawistni, protestując do jej komnat przyszli,
    Zagraniczny książę będzie miał twoją rękę, on przyniesie pokój
    I bogactwa dla naszego kraju
    Powiedziała: Czy mówicie mi, że nie mogę poślubić tego kogo kocham?
    Czy mówicie mi, że nie jestem panią mojego serca?

    I tak z ciężkim sercem pocałowała swojego kochanka raz ostatni,
    Ten kraj poślubiłam, i żadnego mężczyzny nie będzie, bo jeśli nie mogę ciebie mieć, nie będę miała nikogo.


    Róża Anglii, słodka i uczciwa, lśniąca w słońcu,
    Róża Anglii, chroń się przed jej kolcami
    Bo pocieknie krew

    Och moje serce, och moje serce

  12. T.... T....

    Auf deutsch auch total schön

    Rose Englands

    Höre meine Stimme und höre gut zu und die Geschichte die ich erzählen werde,
    Wie Verpflichtung ein gebrochenes Herz brachte und warum eine so starke Liebe auseinander gehen musste,

    Sie war lieblich, sie war schön, Tochter einer königlichen Linie,
    Er, kein Gleichgestellter, aber für sie bedeutete es wenig weil sie verliebt waren,

    Rose Englands, süß und fair, scheint mit der Sonne,
    Rose Englands, pass auf, weil wo der Dorn ist, dort wird Blut laufen,

    Oh mein Herz, oh mein Herz,

    Die Sommertage und Nächte hindurch, gestohlene Küsse und Lust wollten ihre Herzen begeistern und ihre Träume füllen, mit allen Emotionen die wahre Liebe bringen kann,

    Aber Schwärze der Trauer kam eines Tages als ihre Schwester verstarb,
    Und viele sagten auf gebeugten Knien, sie ist gegangen,
    Und du musst unsere Königin werden,

    Rose Englands, süß und fair, scheint mit der Sonne,
    Rose Englands, pass auf, weil wo der Dorn ist, dort wird Blut laufen
    Oh mein Herz, oh mein Herz,

    Sie ritt zum Kloster, mit ihrem Geliebten an ihrer Seite,
    Als sie die Kirchenglocken schlagen hörten, war sie Königin,
    Und eines Tages wird er König sein,

    Aber Menschen der Bosheit, Menschen aus Hass kamen protestierend zu ihrer Kammer,
    "Ein ausländischer Prinz wird deine Hand haben,
    Weil er Friede und Reichtümer in unser Land bringen wird",
    Sie sagte, "Sagt ihr mir, dass ich nicht denjenigen heiraten kann, den ich liebe?
    Sagt ihr mir, dass ich nicht Herrin meines Herzens bin?"

    Und so, mit schwerem Herzen, küsste sie ihren Geliebten ein letztes mal,
    "Dieses Land heiratete ich, und kein Mann kommt, denn wenn ich dich nicht haben kann,
    werde ich keinen haben",

    Rose Englands, süß und fair, scheint mit der Sonne,
    Rose Englands, pass auf, weil wo ein Dorn ist, dort wird Blut laufen,

    Oh mein Herz, oh mein Herz.

    I heard this song for the first time today - touched me deeply with it's warm melancholy, calm delivery: I am a nurse in a senior citizen residence. Today was another unusually hot day, hard work. Near the end of late shift, I had a chance to take a quick shower before the shift-change meeting with the night shift. This always takes place in the "protected" (read: closed, locked) section for the most demented geronto-psychiatric care customers. Radio was on in the dining room, where I went to fill my water bottle - and this song played, I noticed how it soothed the three tenants who were present - burdened people most of the time, they just enjoyed the moment, and so did I.
    Will include it in my own songbook (I play acoustic guitar and sing)!

  14. B.... H....

  58. D.... 1....

    I love this song so much my name is the ferryman in an online game and nobody gets the reference
    dam Im old

    D.... 1....

    @Christian Scholz-Flöter what do you mean christian, not a reference, chris is so much more than just lovesongs, there is revolution, the spanish train, crusaders, the leader etc. He is a very flexible great artist, lol

    D.... 1....

    @Monika Hiller-Obst There's absolutely no doubt that CdB is a great and versatile artist. Sorry for being unclear. I meant "reference" in a different way, but my remark wasn't that important. 

    D.... 1....

    @Christian Scholz-Flöter sorry christian, i missunderstood, i have known chris in person for almost 25 years now, im a huge fan and his personality is as great as his songs

    D.... 1....

    Chris is a humanitarian .I don't know him ,but I would love to.He seems to have more Grace,empathy,and an understanding of humankind than any other songwriter I have ever listened to.We played his song " country churchyard" at our wedding almost 31 years ago.

    D.... 1....

    MICHAEL LEE We were supposed to play that song at our wedding in 1986 but destiny played us a cruel game and we split. He went on to marry someone else and I never married. When ever I hear that Sind In a country churchyard I cry and cry .

  59. b.... ....

    tears are falling...... such a beautiful and moving song....

  60. S.... ....

    This sounds like good old Chris DeBurgh from the late 70's/early 80's. Briliiant!

  61. B.... H....

    Is Chris De Burgh still alive?  I heard a rumor that he had died.  Also, does he still tour/perform?  I fell in love with his music back in the early 80s, and still enjoy it.

    B.... H....

    @Brian Howden So what? Do you have on-line translator? 

    Yes, Brian. I only know my native language too.
    However, I think, to understand the song, do not know the language of the singer, right? especially Chris's songs. 

    B.... H....

    love his music.  When I was in Europe I got a box set of his albums.  Love Crusader, Eastern Wind, Getaway and Man on the Line

    B.... H....

    @Brian Howden Yes, I love his music too. Besides, look comments at this page: his misic love many people from all world.
    I think that his music will be forever.

    B.... H....

    He's still alive or I don't know how he'd tour, Guitar and Mic for his ashes?

    B.... H....

    @Bernard Granger http://cdeb.com/

  62. A.... G....

    A.... G....

    The Virgin Queen

    Hear my voice and listen well, and a story I will tell,
    How duty brought a broken heart, and why a love so strong
    Must fall apart;

    She was lovely, she was fine, daughter of a royal line,
    He, no equal, but for them it mattered little for they were in love;

    Rose of England, sweet and fair, shining with the sun,
    Rose of England, have a care, for where the thorn is,
    There the blood will run;

    Oh my heart, oh my heart;

    Through the summer days and nights, stolen kisses and delights
    Would thrill their hearts and fill their dreams with all emotions
    That true love can bring;

    But black of mourning came one day, when her sister passed away,
    And many said on bended knee, she has gone, and you must be our Queen;

    Rose of England, sweet and fair, shining with the sun,
    Rose of England, have a care, for where the thorn is,
    There the blood will run;

    Oh my heart, oh my heart;

    To the abbey she did ride, with her lover by her side,
    When they heard the church bells ring, she was Queen
    And one day, he'd be King;

    But men of malice, men of hate, protesting to her chambers came,
    "A foreign prince will have your hand, for he'll bring peace
    And riches to our land;"
    She said, "Do you tell me that I cannot wed the one I love?
    Do you tell me that I am not mistress of my heart?"

    And so with heavy weight of life she kissed her lover one last time,
    "This land I wed, and no man comes, for if I cannot have you, I'll have none;"

    Rose of England, sweet and fair, shining with the sun,
    Rose of England have a care, for where the thorn is,
    There the blood will run;

    Oh my heart, oh my heart.

  64. c.... c....

    yoooo!!!! this touch my heart

  65. d.... ....

    Why is a pearl earring dangling from her lover's ear at 3:50? Surely the costumer didn't think men wore earrings back then? That's almost as jarring as if he'd pulled out a cell phone.

    d.... ....

    @dlwatib Arrr... because he be a bloody pirate! ;-)

    d.... ....

    I saw on http://queryblog.tudorhistory.org/2007/12/question-from-jeniann-pierced-ears.html that males and females in Tudor England pierced their ears. Apparently King Charles I who died in 1649 had a large pearl earring (pierced) in his left ear.

    d.... ....

    I have seen portraits of William Shakespeare wearing earrings.
