ROSA

Rosa, let us be dancing, dancing, dancing,
Rosa, let us be dancing, O Rosa, sweet!
Rosa with her hat of flowers
Has little wealth but happy hours,
And dances sweetly.
Rosa, let us be dancing, dancing, dancing,
Rosa, let us be dancing, O Rosa, sweet!

Rosa, will you be mine now, mine now, mine now?
Rosa, will you be mine now, O Rosa sweet?
Rosa with her hat of flowers
Has little wealth but happy hours,
And dances sweetly.
Rosa, will you be mine now, mine now, mine now?
Rosa, will you be mine now, O Rosa sweet?

Rosa, let us get married, married, married.
Rosa, let us get married, O Rosa sweet!
Rosa with her hat of flowers
Has little wealth but happy hours,
And dances sweetly.
Rosa, let us get married, married, married.
Rosa, let us get married, O Rosa sweet!

ROSA (Dutch Version)

Rosa, willen wy dansen? Danst Rosa, danst Rosa,
Rosa, willen wy dansen? Danst Rosa, zoet.
Rosa med haer bloemenhoed-
Zy had de geld, maer weining good;
Danst Rosa zoet!
O Rosa, willen wy dansen? Danst Rosa, danst Rosa,
Rosa, willen wy dansen? Danst Rosa, zoet.

Rosa, willen wy minnen? Mint Rosa, mint Rosa
Rosa, willen wy minnen? Mint Rosa, zoet!
Rosa med haer bloemenhoed-
Zy had de geld, maer weining good;
Danst Rosa zoet!
Rosa, willen wy minnen? Mint Rosa, mint Rosa
Rosa, willen wy minnen? Mint Rosa, zoet!

Rosa, willen wy trowen? Trowt Rosa, trowt Rosa
Rosa, willen wy trowen? Trowt Rosa, zoet!

Zy had de geld, maer weining good;
Danst Rosa zoet!
Rosa, willen wy minnen? Mint Rosa, mint Rosa
Rosa, willen wy minnen? Mint Rosa, zoet!
