林忆莲《The Rose》

 The Rose

Some say love, it is a river

有人说，爱是条河

That drowns the tender reed.

容易将柔弱的芦草淹没

Some say love, it is a razor

有人说，爱是把剃刀

That leaves your soul to bleed.

任由你的灵魂淌血

Some say love, it is a hunger

有人说，爱是种饥渴

An endless, aching need.

一种无尽的带痛的需求

I say love it is a flower

我说，爱是一朵花

And you its only seed

而你，只是花的种籽

It"s the heart afraid of breakin'

害怕破碎的心

That never learns to dance.

永远学不会跳舞

It"s the dream afraid of wakin'

害怕醒来的梦

That never takes the chance.

永远没有机会

It"s the one who won"t be taken

不愿吃亏的人

Who cannot seem to give.

不懂得付出

And the soul afraid of dyin"

忧心死亡的灵魂

That never learns to live.

不懂得生活

When the night has been too lonely

当夜显得寂寞不堪

And the road has been too long

去路变得无尽漫长

And you think that love is only

当你觉得只有幸运者

For the lucky and the strong

和强者才有幸得到爱...

Just remember in the winter

谨记，在严寒的冬日里

Far beneath the bitter snows

酷雪的覆盖下，躺着一颗种籽

Lies the seed that with the sun's love

一旦春阳临照

In the spring becomes the rose.

就能幻化成一朵玫瑰
