　　the rose歌詞

　　Some say love,it is a river that drowns the tender reed. 有人說，愛，是一條浸有軟蘆葦的小河。

　　Some say love,it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed. 有人說，愛，是一柄分離血魂的剃刀。

　　Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need. 有人說，愛，是一名無盡追求的餓者。

　　I say love,it is a flower, and you it's only seed. 而我說，愛，是一朵花。而你，是花唯一的種子!

　　It's the heart,afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance. 心恐其碎，不可舞動。

　　It's the dream, afraid of waking, that never takes a chance. 夢恐其醒，不可失時。

　　It's the one who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give. 人恐其離，不可施愛。

　　And the soul,afraid of dyin', that never learns to live. 魂恐其眾，永無生機!

　　When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long, 孤寂之夜，漫長之路。

　　And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong, 幸運之人，執著之士(或: 幸運之人 愛與相伴)。

　　Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows, 冬雪之下，深埋愛種。

　　Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose. 陽光輕撫，春成玫瑰。
