To the Red Roses

Roses, red roses
For my valentine.
A single, red rose
For my love at first sight.

Two roses, red roses
Profess that I love you.
Three roses, red roses
Say I can’t live without you.

Four roses, red roses
As we’re meant to be together.
Five roses, red roses
Mean you’re my special lover.

O roses, red roses, go forth
And speak this language of love.
You can make passions flow,
In humans and the Gods above.

O roses, red roses, use all your powers
To make romance blossom and flower
In the heart of my beautiful lover
And keep this feeling alive forever.
