The Rose

丁兰

《The Rose》由Amanda McBroom创作于1978年，是传唱了几十载的经典老歌。至今已被不少歌手翻唱过。“只要在心中洒下希望的种子，待到春天变会馨香满地。”

Some say love

it is a river

that drowns the tender reed

Some say love

it is a razor

that leaves your soul to bleed

Some say love

it is a hunger

an endless aching need

I say love

it is a flower

and you

its only seed

Its the heart afraid of breaking

that never learns to dance

Its the dream afraid of waking

that never takes the chance

Its the one who wont be taken

who can not seem to give

and the soul afraid of dying

that never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely

and the road has been too long

and you think

that love is only for

the lucky and the strong

Just remember in the winter

far beneath the bitter snow

lies the seed

that with the suns love in the spring

becomes the rose

有人说，爱

是一条河流

能将脆弱的芦苇淹没

有人说，爱

就像一把剃刀

使你的心灵流血不止

有人说，爱

也许是一种焦渴

是无尽而痛苦的渴望

而我说，爱

其实是绽放的花儿

而我们大家

就是它唯一的种子

如果你害怕心碎

就永远学不会翩翩起舞

如果你担心从美梦中醒来

就永远也抓不住机会

如果一个人不懂得付出

就永远不会被接纳

如果你惧怕死亡

就永远不会懂得生活

当夜晚太过漫长

当前路太过遥远

或者当你认为

只有幸运和坚强的人

才有资格得到爱

你要记住，在严冬

那厚厚的积雪底下

埋着一颗种子

待到春日，阳光普照

它将会绽放成最美的玫瑰
