The Rose 

玫瑰 

Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razer
that leaves your soul to blead

有人說，愛是條河
容易將柔弱的蘆葦淹沒
有人說，愛是把剃刀
會任由你的靈魂淌血

Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
and you it's only seed

有人說，愛是種饑渴
一種無盡的帶痛的需求
我說，愛是一朵花
而你，只是花的種籽

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

害怕破碎的心
永遠學不會跳舞
害怕醒來的夢
永遠沒有機會
不願吃虧的人
不懂得付出
憂心死亡的靈魂
不懂得生活

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

當夜顯得寂寞不堪
去路顯得無盡漫長
當你覺得只有幸運者
及強者才有幸得到愛

Just remember in the winterfar beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed
that with the sun's love
in the spring
becomes the rose

謹記，在嚴寒的冬日裡
酷雪的覆蓋下，躺著一顆種籽
一旦春陽臨照，就能幻化成一朵玫瑰
