Four Roses

by Ingrid Prohaska

Four roses in a bottle
treiben über's Meer;
a little world, empty enough
to hold my humble head above.

Four roses in a bottle
treiben über's Meer;
no wind, no weather
can destroy them;
the little world grows up, gets more.

Four roses in a bottle
treiben über's Meer;
they smell so sweet,
the music's playing
this world is full of harmony.

Four roses in a bottle
float over the sea;
the bottle will be full one day,
my life will go down into the sea.

Four roses in a bottle
sink further to the ground;
my little world is lost for me,
gets part of a whole one now.

Four roses in a bottle
sink deep enough, the glass can break;
good feelings will possess me,
a great world will be mine - one day.

Special thanks to love, hope, joy and humor.
