the rose

Some say love it is a river
有人說，愛，如流水
That drowns the tender reed
浸潤了柔嫩的蘆葦
Some say love it is a razor
有人說，愛，似利刃
That leaves your soul to bleed
任由你的靈魂淌血
Some say love it is a hunger
有人說，愛，是無盡的慾望
An endless aching need
煎熬無比，卻無法自拔
I say love it is a flower
我卻說，愛，是綻放的花朵
And you its only seed
而你是唯一的種子
Its the heart afraid of breaking
這是一顆憔悴的心
That never learns to dance
再也無法憶起那跳動的感覺
Its the dream afraid of waking
這是一個不願醒來的夢境
That never takes the chance
再無勇氣去嘗試
Its the one who wont be taken
這是一個不曾得到
Who cannot seem to give
卻也不曾給予的人
And the soul afraid of dying
害怕逝去的靈魂
That never learns to live
再無法生存下去
When the night has been too lonely
當夜顯得寂寞不堪
And the road has been too long
前路顯得無盡漫長
And you think that love is only
當你覺得愛情只會
For the lucky and the strong
眷顧幸運和成功的人
Just remember in the winter
謹記，在嚴寒的冬日里
Far beneath the bitter snows
在厚厚的積雪底下
Lies the seed that with the suns love
躺著一顆種子，一旦春陽臨照
In the spring becomes the rose
就能幻化成一朵嬌豔盛開的玫瑰
