Notes
ģEvening of roses,
Night comes upon us slowly
and a breeze of roses is blowing.
Let me whisper a song to you quietly,
a song of love.ī 
The images used in this song are classic images used by the mystics of the East for centuries when singing of the longing of the soul towards the divine.
Words in English
Evening of roses,
let us go out to the garden.
Myrrh, spices, and incense
are a carpet for your feet.
Chorus:
Night comes upon us slowly
and a breeze of roses is blowing.
Let me whisper a song to you quietly,
a song of love.
It is dawn, a dove is cooing.
Your hair is filled with dew.
Your lips are like a rose to the morning.
Iķll pick it for myself.
Chorus:
