The rose ---Bette Midler     


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

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

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

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 is a flower

And you, it's only seed

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 can not seem to give

And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live
