Each Sunday morning at breaking of day
A most lovely creature she passes my way
I stand at my window to catch her eye
But her head never turns as she passes me by

Bella Rosa, Bella Rosa
What is this feeling that haunts me so
Bella Rosa, Bella Rosa
Soon you must love me or let me go

As I Wander alone through the country side
There's many a girl who would be my bride
But always before the vows I can say
Her image returns and she draws me away

Bella Rosa, Bella Rosa
What is this feeling that haunts me so
Bella Rosa, Bella Rosa
Soon you must love me or let me go

It's Saturday night it's cold, it's bare
I sit in my room and just longingly stare
For I know comes the morning my heart will glow
At the sight of my love as she passes below

Bella Rosa, Bella Rosa
What is this feeling that haunts me so
Bella Rosa, Bella Rosa
Soon you must love me or let me go.
