The Rose - Bette Midler

主要是因為 Janis Joplin，我去找了她的傳記電影，1979年的『 The Rose 』
由Bette Midler 主演，這首"The Rose"則是她的片尾曲。


Some say love, it is a river
有人說愛 是一條河流
That drowns the tender reed
它淹沒了柔弱的蘆葦
Some say love, it is a razor
有人說愛 是一把剃刀
That leaves your soul to bleed
它讓妳的心靈淌血
Some say love, it is a hunger
有人說愛 是一種渴望
An endless aching need
一種永無止盡 痛苦的需求
I say love, it is a flower
我說愛 是一朵花
And you, its only seed
而妳 是它唯一的種子

It's the heart, afraid of breaking
一顆害怕受傷的心
That never learns to dance
永遠學不會跳舞
It's the dream, afraid of waking
一場害怕清醒的夢
That never takes the chance
永遠無法冒險
It's the one who won't be taken
一個不被需要的人
Who cannot seem to give
似乎也不能給予
And the soul, afraid of dying
一個害怕死亡的靈魂
That never learns to live
永遠學不會如何活著

When the night has been too lonely
當夜晚總是如此地孤單
And the road has been too long
而路途總是如此地遙遠
And you think that love is only
妳認為愛只屬於那些
for the lucky and the strong
幸運和堅強的人
Just remember in the winter
只要記得在冬天時
Far beneath the bitter snow
極寒的雪地深處
Lies the seed
埋藏著種子
That with the sun's love, in the spring
在春天時 伴隨著陽光的愛
Becomes the rose
它就變成了玫瑰
