Shankz_inc - Red Roses (feat. Shankz_inc & Prieya Vathani) Lyrics

Red roses were her favourite, her name was also Rose
And every year her husband sent them, tied with pretty bows
The year he died, the roses were delivered to her door
The card said, Be my Valentine, like all the years before
Each year he sent her roses, and the note would always say
I love you even more this year, than last year on this day
My love for you will always grow, with every passing year
She knew this was the last time that the roses would appear
She thought, he ordered roses in advance before this day
Her loving husband did not know, that he would pass away
He loved to do things early, way before the time
Cuz, if he got too busy, everything would work out fine

Nam vaalum kaalam
Innalum vendum
Kalyana koolam
Kanmunneh tondrum

So She trimmed the stems, and placed them in a very special vase
Then, sat the vase beside the portrait of his smiling face
She would sit for hours, in her husband's favourite chair
While staring at his picture, and the roses sitting there
A year went by, and it was hard to live without her mate
With loneliness and solitude, that had become her fate
Then, that very hour, as on Valentines Day before
The doorbell rang, and there were roses, sitting by her door
She brought the roses in, and looked at them in shock
Then went to get the telephone, to call the florist shop
The owner answered and she asked him, if he could explain
Why would someone do this to her, causing her such pain

Yen manavalaneh
Un ninaivodu naan
En uyirvaalumeh
Ini unakhaagha thaan

I know your husband passed away, more than a year ago
The owner said, knew you'd call, and you would want to know
The flowers you received today were paid for in advance
Your husband always planned ahead, he left nothing to chance
There is a standing order, that I have on file down here
And he has paid, well in advance, you'll get them every year
There also is another thing, that I think you should know
He wrote you a special card, he did this years ago
Then, should ever I find out that he's no longer here
That's the card that should be sent, to you the following year
She thanked him and hung up the phone, her tears now flowing hard
Her fingers shaking, as she slowly reached to get the card

Nam vaalum kaalam
Innalum vendum
Kalyana koolam
Kanmunneh tondrum

Inside the card, she saw that he had written her a note
Then, as she stared in total silence, this is what he wrote
Hello my love, I know it's been a year since I've been gone
I hope it hasn't been too hard for you to overcome
I know it must be lonely, and the pain is very real
For if it was the other way, I know how I'd feel
The love we shared made everything so beautiful in life
I loved you more than words can say, you were the perfect wife
You were my friend and lover, you fulfilled my every need
I know it's only been a year, but please try not to grieve
I want you to be happy, even when you shed your tears and
That is why these roses will be sent to you for years

Yen manavalaneh
Un ninaivodu naan
En uyirvaalumeh
Ini unakhaagha thaan

When you get these roses, think of all the happiness
That we had together and how both of us were blessed Forever
I have always loved you and I know I always will
But, my love, you must go on, you have some living still
Please try to find happiness, while living out your days
I know it is not easy, but I hope you find some ways
The roses will come every year, and they will only stop
When your door's not answered, when the florist stops to knock
He will come five times that day, in case you have gone out
But after his last visit, he will know without a doubt
To take the roses to the place, where I've instructed him
And place the roses where we are, together once again

Aghel Vilakkai naan
En thiriyaaga nee
Naan unnai theedi
Thinam alaigindra thee
