The Rose(Amanda McBroom)

原創翻譯，轉載請註明出處

Some say love it is a river                  流水似愛

That drowns the tender reed            葦柔亦傾

Some say love it is a razor                 利刃似愛

That leaves your soul to bleed          靈亦滴血

Some say love it is a hunger              饑渴如愛

An endless aching need                      痛亦索極

I say love it is a flower                        我愛如花

And you , its only seed                        委爾潤之

It's the heart afraid of breaking         懼碎之心

That never learns to dance                 拒之不舞

It's the dream afraid of waking          懼醒之夢

That never takes the chance               無生之念

It's the one who won't be taken         毋納之人

Who cannot seem to give                    似予不予

And the soul afraid of dying                毋逝之靈

That never learns to live                       難參存道

When the night has been too lonely   孤寂是夜

And the road has been too long           途無窮盡

And you think that love is only            唯幸與強

For the lucky and the strong                可得愛否

Just remember in the winter                猶記凜冬

Far beneath the bitter snows                蒼雪覆下

Lies the seed that with the sun's love  瑰籽尚暖

In the spring becomes the rose             春來盛放
