Natacha Atlas - Mon Amie La Rose(English Translation lyrics

Chorus 1:

We are truly insignificant

And that's what my friend the rose

Told me this morning

Verse 1:

I was born at dawn

Baptised in dew

I blossomed

In the rays of the sun

Happy and in love

I closed my petals at night

And when I awoke I was old.

Yet I had been beautiful

Yes, I was the most beautiful

Of all the flowers in your garden

Chorus 1

Verse 2

See, the God that made me

Now makes me bow my head

And I feel I'm falling

And I feel I'm falling

My heart is almost bare

I have a foot in my grave

Already I am nothing

You admired me only yesterday

And I shall be dust

Forever, tomorrow

Chorus 2:

We are truly insignificant

And my friend the rose

Died this morning

Verse 3

Last night the moon

Kept vigil over my friend

And in a dream I saw

Her soul, dancing

Dazzling and naked,

Above the heavens,

Smiling on me.

Let those who can, believe

But I need Hope

Or else I am nothing

repeat chorus & verse 2
