The Rose

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

有人說,愛是一條河

會將柔弱的盧葦淹没

有人説,爱如一把利刃

會讓你的靈魂滴血

有人說,爱是一種飢渴

是一種無盡疼痛的需求

 我說,愛 是一朶花

而你,是 花之種子

It's the heart, afraid of breaking

That never learns to dance

It's the dream, afraid of waking

That never takes the chance

It's the one who won't be taken

Who cannot seem to give

And the soul, afraid of dying

That never learns to live

害怕碎去的心

永遠學不會跳舞

害怕醒起的夢

永遠不再有機會

不願付出

害怕受傷的靈魂

永遠學不會活著的意義

 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 sun's love, in the spring

Becomes the rose

當夜 顯得太寂寞

當路 顯得太漫長

當你想

愛 只屬於幸運和强者時

你當記得

嚴冬裹, 深埋在冰雪下躺着的一顆種子

當春天到來

當鋪上愛的陽光時

它, 就會變為一枝

美麗的玫瑰
