Verse:

I'm wishing for the moon, building castles in the air,

That's why I keep on saying:

 

Chorus:

Rosetta my Rosetta,

In my heart dear, There's no one but you;

You told me, that you loved me,

Never leave me for somebody new;

You've made my whole live a dream,

I pray you'll make it come true;

Roseta, my Roseta,

Please say I'm just the one dear for you.
