When the Roses Bloom Again
They were strolling in the gloamingWhere the roses were in bloomA soldier and his sweetheart brave and trueAnd their hearts were filled with sorrowFor their thoughts were of tomorrowAs she pinned a rose upon his coat of blueDo not ask me love to lingerWhen you know not what to sayFor duty calls your sweetheart's name againAnd your heart need not be sighingIf I be among the dyingI'll be with you when the roses bloom againWhen the roses bloom againBeside the riverAnd the mockingbird has sung his sweet refrainIn the days of auld lang syneI'll be with you sweetheart mineI'll be with you when the roses bloom againMid the rattle of the battleCame a whisper soft and lowA soldier who had fallen in the frayI am dying, I am dyingAnd I know I'll have to goLetras de cancionesBut I want to tell youBefore I pass awayThere's a far and distant riverWhere the roses are in bloomA sweetheart who is waiting there for meAnd it's there I pray you take meI've been faithful, don't forsake meI'll be with her when the roses bloom again
