阿美阿美几时办嫁妆
我急得快发狂
今天今天你要老实讲
我是否有希望
虽然我是个穷光蛋
人又长得不怎么样
但是你要想一想
看看自己的长相
阿美阿美不要在徬徨
少女的青春短
今天今天你不要倔强
快做我的新娘
虽然我没汽车洋房
吃得粗茶又淡饭
只要你陪我作伴
包你白白又胖胖
Rose rose I love you, with an aching heart
What is your future, now we have to part
Standing on the jetter
As the streamer moves away
Flower of Malaya I can not stay
Make way, oh make way
For my eastern rose
Men crowd in dozens, ev'rywhere she goes
In her rick'shaw on the street or in the cabaret
Please make way for rose
You can hear them say
All my life, I shall remember
Oriental music and you in my arms
Perfumed flowers, in your traces
Lotus scented breezes and swaying palms
