WHITE ROSE OF ATHENS  / 1rst version   xxxxx

( Hadjidakis / Newell / Bleyer )



So goodbye my love till then

Till the white rose blooms again



1-

The summer days are ending in the valley

And soon the time will come when we must be apart

Though you must start

You journey to the sailing

And leave me till another spring-time comes around



2-

Till the white rose blooms again

You must leave me, leave me lonely

So goodbye my love till then

Till the white rose blooms again

Bis



3-

The cotton leaves are falling in the valley

And soon the winter snow will lie on the ground

But like the rose that comes back with the springtime

You will return to me when springtime comes around



Repeat 1



Goodbye till then

Goodbye till then

So good-bye my love till then

Till the white rose blooms again



The summer days are ending in the valley

And soon the time will come when we must be apart

But like the rose that comes back with the spring time

You will return to me when spring-time comes around
