To repay you all the love you've shown,
what can I say to give you peace
from all the troubles you have known?
What can I do to bring release?

What can I say to give you peace
during the day and through the night?
What can I do to bring release
from all the horrors in your sight?

During the day and through the night
I want to shield you with my love
from all the horrors in your sight,
my darling girl, my rose, my dove.

I want to shield you with my love
from all the troubles you have known,
my darling girl, my rose, my dove,
to repay you all the love you've shown.
