Quand Les Roses
Salvatore Adamo
When the Roses
When the roses were blooming,
Out came the girls.
In every garden, you could see
The petticoats dancing.
Then the roses would wither,
The girls would go back inside
To spend in their sweet cocoon
The time of snowflakes
It was charming,
It was charming,
It was charming,
The time of roses,
When you think about it,
With closed eyelids.
But today's roses
Are artificial,
And the girls
Go pick flowers
Summer and winter.
They can't stand boredom anymore,
These young ladies.
They doll up their bodies
And hearts and go get some fresh air.
