Black Roses
Candice Night Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And so she'll wait
Amongst her old black roses
Her whole life fading in
And out of the wind

I've loved, I've lost
My dreams were well worth the cost
But my roses have always been around


Too many lies, too many tears
Too many hopes lost in too many years
Too many tries, such long goodbyes
When it all comes 'round we'll always be here

It's cold out there
And frost hides the blue winter air
Her roses lay sleeping in the ground

And so she'll wait
Amongst her old black roses
Her whole life fading in
And out of the wind

Too many lies, too many tears
Too many hopes lost in too many years




Too many tries, such long goodbyes
When it all comes 'round we'll always be here

"Чорні троянди"

І тому вона чекатиме
Серед її старих чорних троянд
Все її життя згасає
І з вітру

Я кохав, я втратив
Мої мрії були варті грошей
Але мої троянди завжди були поруч

Забагато брехні, забагато сліз
Надто багато втрачених надій за багато років
Забагато спроб, такі довгі прощання
Коли все станеться, ми завжди будемо тут

Холодно там
І мороз ховає синє зимове повітря
Її троянди спали в землі

І тому вона чекатиме
Серед її старих чорних троянд
Все її життя згасає
І з вітру

Забагато брехні, забагато сліз
Надто багато втрачених надій за багато років
Забагато спроб, такі довгі прощання
Коли все станеться, ми завжди будемо тут
