Oh, my flower, my sweetest one
When I met you, my heart was undone
You gave me life, you gave me light
But your mother didn't think it was right
The suitors came and they all bowed low
But your mother said they had to go
"They're not the one," she would always say
And I was left to wait another day
Her words cut deep, they hurt my soul
I loved you more than I could ever show
But still, I waited with hope in my heart
That one day you and I would never be apart
The suitors came and they all bowed low
But your mother said they had to go
"They're not the one," she would always say
And I was left to wait another day
Oh, my flower, I love you so
But fate has dealt us a painful blow
No ointment can soothe the pain
I feel For your mother's heart, I cannot steal
The suitors came and they all bowed low
But your mother said they had to go
"They're not the one," she would always say
And I was left to wait another day
Oh, my flower, I'll love you forevermore
Even if we cannot be together, I'll adore
Your beauty, your grace, your loving heart
My flower, my flower, we'll never be apart.
