《玫 瑰》

   《玫瑰》是一首曾获Oscar提名奖的著名电影插曲，它的歌词像是一首优美的爱情赞美诗，让人难以忘怀。这首歌词的创作实属偶然，词作者Amanda McBroom是在一次开车的路上从收音机中听到了"Magdalena" 这首歌，就立刻爱上了这首歌。但是歌中唱道："Your love is like a razor. My heart is just a scar." ，她当时很不以为然，她不相信爱情会有如刮胡刀，就开始在路上思索用什么来描述爱情？她后来在谈到这段经历时说：“就在此时我感觉好像有人打开了我心灵上的窗户，歌词自己源源涌入。”她急忙把车开回家记录下来，就成就了目前的这首著名的歌曲。（http://theroselyrics.com）

The Rose

Some say love it is a river 有人说爱是一条河

That drowns the tender reed 它淹没了柔弱的芦苇

Some say love it is a razor 有人说爱是剃刀

That leaves your soul to bleed 它让你的心流血

Some say love it is a hunger 有人说爱是渴望

And endless aching need 永无止境的渴求

I say love it is a flower 我说爱是一朵花

And you its only seed 而你是它唯一的种子

It's the heart afraid of breaking 如果你的心害怕破碎，

That never learns to dance 那你就永远学不会跳舞

It's the dream afraid of waking 如果你害怕醒来，

That never takes the chance 就永远抓不住任何机会

It's the one who won't be taken 你就是那个永远不会得到回报的人

Who can not seem to give 如果你不愿意付出。

And the soul afraid of dying如果你无法正视伤害

That never learns to live就永远领悟不到生活的真谛

When the night has been too lonely 当夜晚显得太过寂静

And the road has been too long 路显得太长

And you think that love is only 而你又认为爱只

For the lucky and the strong 属于那些幸运儿和强者的时候，

Just remember in the winter 只要记住，在冬天

Far beneath the bitter snow 在严冬积雪下

Lies the seed that with the sun's love 深埋着的那棵种子，

In the spring becomes the rose 在春天阳光洒下时就会变成一朵绚丽的玫瑰
