用古風翻譯英文詩 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

 

河之濯濯，蒹葭有毀。

情傷若犀，長如流水。

心無所依，以疼飼餒。

 

I say love, it is a flower

And you, its 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

 

蓮子同結，花之靨靨。

日夜思君，憂心惙惙。

長夢不醒，得過且過。

 

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

And the night has been too lonely

And the road has been too long

 

但求一心，君不予我。

生無可憐，死亦難別。

夜永路長，飛螢之火。

 

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 a rose

 

求之幸之，花落有主。

孟冬凜冽，風黃雪苦。

種下薔薇，春陽破土。
