Lyric: Jasmine Garland


Lyric: Jasmine Garland

(To the tune of Bangawan Solo)

Male version:

Can you turn back time?
Blind your heart to the past?
Try to lightly laugh away
The wager I made and lost?

Let your memories die?
Never mention my name?
Claim that love is food for fools
Or merely a drunken game?

Yet at times you will remember
The jasmine garland that you wore
When I kissed you in the twilight
And swore we’d part no more.

Though I can’t forgive
I can never forget
For the fragrance of our love
Is sweet as your jasmine yet.


Female version:
(First two stanzas remain the same)

Yet at times you will remember
The jasmine garland that I wore
When you kissed me in the twilight
And swore we’d part no more.

Though I can’t forgive
I can never forget
For the fragrance of our love
Is sweet as my jasmine yet.
