Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Each one seeking happiness
(Thrown by three hopeful lovers)
(Which one will the fountain bless?)
Three hearts in the fountain
Each heart longing for its home
(There they lie in the fountain)
Which one will the fountain bless?
Which one will the fountain bless?
Three coins in the fountain
Through the ripples how they shine
(Just one wish will be granted)
(One heart will wear a valentine)
Make it mine!
Make it mine!
Make it mine!
Which one will the fountain bless?
Which one will the fountain bless?
Three coins in the fountain
Through the ripples how they shine
(Just one wish will be granted)
(One heart will wear a valentine)
Make it mine!
Make it mine!
Make it mine!
