Der Tag erwacht, die Sonne, sie kommt wieder und wieder kommt nun auch der Abschied fuer uns zwei. Nun faehrt Dein Schiff hinaus mir Wind und Wogen. Doch es sind Grueße aus der Heimat mit dabei. Weiße Rosen aus Athen sagen Dir: "Komm recht bald wieder.", sagen Dir: "Auf Wiederseh'n!" - weiße Rosen aus Athen. Weiße Rosen blueh'n an Bord in der weiten, weiten Ferne, blueh'n fuer Dich allein so schoen - weiße Rosen aus Athen. Im fernen Land, wo keiner auf Dich wartet, da seh'n die Sterne in der Nacht ganz anders aus. Dort ist die Welt so fremd und Du bist einsam. Darum begleiten Dich heut' Blumen von zuhaus. Weiße Rosen aus Athen sagen Dir: "Komm recht bald wieder.", sagen Dir: "Auf Wiederseh'n!" - weiße Rosen aus Athen. Weiße Rosen blueh'n an Bord in der weiten, weiten Ferne, blueh'n fuer Dich allein so schoen - weiße Rosen aus Athen. Auf Wiederseh'n! Auf Wiederseh'n! Auf Wiederseh'n! |

When my sister's husband died suddenly at the age of 36, leaving her with two young babies, this song was popular. She decided to plant a white rose on his grave in their village churchyard in Scotland, and every time the rose blooms, she thinks of this song. Her husband's parents were from Yorkshire, so the white rose was appropriate for them too. |
