about

A lively melodic experience, kind of a cross between The Beatles and Jose Feliciano.

lyrics

On the hills outside the city, trash is tossed and forgotten.
There, among all that is rotten grow these wild roses.

They push their way up through the junkyards pass the drunkards and the vagrants, sweet'ning the air with their fragrance, muchas rosas silvestre.

But don't try to collect them!
They have got thorns to protect them.
Beauty can be so misleading.
It may leave a man bleeding.

Still you brave those piercing nettles. Just to reach their soft petals.
The heart of a fool never settles for a day without roses.
Oh, those sweet wild roses. Much as rosas silvestre.
