When you find you're all alone
And the doubts of love have found you
Though the clouds are all around you
There's a rose
Love will come and love will go
Do not waste another hour
There is beauty in a flower
Like the rose
L'important c'est la rose...
Every one must play our part
In this world that keeps on spinning
And the time will come for winning
If we wait
There's a petal and a thorn
There is beauty in each flower
And we all must stay together
Like the rose
For as sure as there's the sky
And the Sun so high above us
There is one who's meant to love us
In this world
There is rhythm to our lives
There is rhyme and there is reason
And we all must bide our season
Like the rose

ReplyDelete*hug and soft loving slap/tap on cheek* hahahaha let's snap out of this Meewa!! Hahaha.
ReplyDeleteHahaha =) Truth be told Gabi, it's not melancholia that I've been feeling lately... it's more like that of being a parent who has trouble disciplining a child, and in my case, my heart... but this song still serves as a lovely reminder and I'm sure it will comfort me too in times of loneliness along with this line; HIS grace is sufficient. =)
ReplyDeleteAmen!! :) And good books. And good coffee. (Drat I really miss coffee...)
ReplyDeleteCan't you indulge in just one sip a day?! I read an article that said a temperate amount of coffee (not decaf) is really good for the health. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOne sip won't be enough hahaha. Once I start, I won't stop.
ReplyDeleteThe caffeine's bad for my vocal cords, Mir. Even a small amount of coffee induces acid reflux. :( Oh well. You go enjoy your cup of morning java, for the both of us :)
wow! mahal ko tong kantang ito...salamat po sa pagpost ng lyrics..
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! Hehe. Ako rin, this was sung by the Philippine Madrigal Singers in their first concert that I saw as a child, and I've loved it dearly ever since.
ReplyDeleteyou two girls (Gabi and Mira) never fail to amaze me! I am fascinated with your exchanges which modulates from...ah....self comforting (?) to coffee.....! that kind of modulation is an excellent way indeed of coping with the "stress" of loneliness and the "struggle" of hopefulness...I mean....ah..yeah.... (?)
ReplyDeletebeautiful :)
ReplyDelete:) it is a pretty song. :)
ReplyDeleteThat I'll do, that I'll do. =)
ReplyDeleteHmmm... you put it very nicely... but I think there's a simpler description or explanation for all of these, Sir: Being women. hehehe =)
ReplyDeletehahaha! the endless mystery that is the female race! :P haha
ReplyDeletewow! this is beautiful, thanks! go singles!!! :)
ReplyDeletehi

ReplyDeleteThere's a petal and a thorn
There is beauty and there is sorrow
And we all must face tomorrow
Like the rose
L’important,
c’est la rose,
l’important,
c’est la rose,

ReplyDeleteHi madam, this is the lyrics according to the madz piece..
ReplyDeleteL’important c’est la rose
l’important c’est la rose
l’important c’est la rose
por moi
1) If you find you're all alone
And the knots of love have bound you
Though the clouds are all around you
There's a rose
Love will come and love will go
Do not waste another hour
There is beauty in a flower
Like a rose
2) You and I must play our part
In this world that keeps on spinning
And the time will come for winning
If we wait
There's a petal and a thorn
There is beauty and there's sorrow
And we all must face tomorrow
Like a rose
3) For as sure as there's the sky
And the Sun so high above us
There is one who's meant to love us
In this world
There is rhythm to our lives
There is rhyme and there is reason
And we all must find our season
Like a rose
L’important,
Deletec’est la rose,
l’important,
c’est la rose,
l’important,
c’est la rose,
crois-moi…
...pour moi, this is a song written especially for women by a man who understands and appreciates women. Thank you, Gilbert Becaud.
