ROSE
Lee Hi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the roses are in bloom.
A soldier and his sweetheart, brave and true.
And their hearts are filled with sorrow,
For their thoughts are of tomorrow,
As she pins a rose upon his coat of blue.
"Do not ask me, love, to linger,
"For duty calls your sweetheart's name again.
"And your heart need not be sighing,
"That I'll be among the dying.
"I'll be with you when the roses bloom again."
When the roses bloom again,
And the sun is on the river:
The Mockingbird will sing it's sweet refrain.
And in the days of Auld Lang Syne,
I'll be with you, sweetheart mine.
Oh, I'll be with you when the roses bloom again.
With the rattle of the battle,
Came a whisper soft and low:
"Our soldier, he is fallen in the fray."
"I am dying, I am dying,
"And I know I've got to go,
"But I wanna tell you before I pass away."
"There's a far and distant river,
"Where the roses are in bloom,
"And a sweetheart who is waiting there for me.
"And it's there, I pray you'll take me.
"I'll be faithful, don't forsake me.
"I'll be with you when the roses bloom again."
When the roses bloom again,
And the sun is on the river:
The Mockingbird will sing it's sweet refrain.
And in the days of Auld Lang Syne,
I'll be with you, sweetheart mine.
Oh, I'll be with you when the roses bloom again.
The song "Rose" by Lee Hi is a poignant ballad that tells the story of a soldier and his sweetheart during wartime. The couple is taking a stroll in the evening when the roses are in bloom, and their hearts are heavy with sorrow and uncertainty about the future. The soldier's sweetheart pins a rose on his coat of blue, and they have a conversation about duty and sacrifice. The soldier reassures his love that even though he must go away to war, he will always be with her in spirit and in memory.
The chorus of the song, "I'll be with you when the roses bloom again," is a recurring refrain that offers hope and comfort to the couple. They both cling to the idea that even though they may be separated by distance or time, their love will endure and they will be reunited one day.
The song is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices that soldiers and their loved ones make during times of war. It is a tribute to the strength and resilience of the human spirit, and a reminder that even in the darkest moments, love and hope can endure.
