Rosetta, my Rosetta,
In my heart, dear, there's no-one but you!
For you told me that you loved me,
Never leave me for somebody new!

You made my whole life a dream,
And I prayed that you'd make it all come true.
Rosetta, my Rosetta,
Please say that I'm just the one, dear, for you!

Please say that I'm just the one, dear, for you!
