A widow had two daughters
Two cheerful children
She named them after rose-trees
Which stood in her garden
Snow White was quiet and gentle
She looked after their home
Rose Red was wild and bright-eyed
Where cold winds blew she'd roam
And they would say
We will not leave each other
Never so long as we live
For you, my life I would give
And hence spoke the mother
What one has
She must share with the other
Oh sister, my sister
Your heart beats in my chest
If you are in peril
I can't come to rest
Oh sister, my sister
Your blood flows through my veins
We share our joys and
Our sorrows, our pains
Blood is thicker than water
Thus, we are as thick as thieves
And we'll be there for each other
Until we need to leave
This world
A widow had two daughters
From rose-trees stemmed their names
Their souls entwined forever
As sisters – come what may
And even though the children
Were alike as day and night
Like black and white
Their inner bonds were stronger
And differently the same
They would unite
We will not leave each other
Never so long as we live
For you, my life I would give
And hence spoke the mother
What one has
She must share with the other
(With the other)
Oh sister, my sister
Your heart beats in my chest
If you are in peril
I can't come to rest
Oh sister, my sister
Your blood flows through my veins
We share our joys and
Our sorrows, our pains
Blood is thicker than water
Thus, we are as thick as thieves
And we'll be there for each other
Until we need to leave
This world
A widow had two daughters
From rose-trees stemmed their names
Their souls entwined forever
As sisters – come what may
We share our hearts
And minds and souls
We share our hearts
We share our hearts
We share our hearts
And minds and souls
We will not leave each other
Never so long as we live
For you, my life I would give
And hence spoke the mother
What one has
She must share with the other
Oh sister, my sister
Your heart beats in my chest
Oh sister, my sister
Your heart beats in my chest
Oh sister, my sister
Your heart beats in my chest
If you are in peril
I can't come to rest
Oh sister, my sister
Your blood flows through my veins
We share our joys and
Our sorrows, our pains
Oh sister, my sister

If you are in peril
I can't come to rest
Oh sister, my sister
Your blood flows through my veins
We share our joys and

Blood is thicker than water
Thus, we are as thick as thieves
And we'll be there for each other
Until we need to leave
