Lyrics

Japanese

草むらに  名も知れず
咲いている  花ならば
ただ風を  受けながら
そよいでいれば  いいけれど

私はバラのさだめに生まれた
華やかに激しく生きろと生まれた

※バラはバラは  気高く咲いて
  バラはバラは  美しく散る

※refrain

(ジュテーム オスカル!)

Romaji

kusamura ni na mo shirezu
saiteiru hana naraba
tada kaze wo uke nagara
soyoi de ireba ii keredo

watashi wa bara no sadame ni umareta
hanayaka ni hageshiku ikiro to umareta

*bara wa bara wa kedakaku saite
 bara wa bara wa utsukushiku chiru

*refrain

(JE T'AIME OSCAR!)
