分享一首一聽鍾情的英文歌--The Rose

這首歌第一次聽的時候是十幾年前,從一張男生四重唱Kings' Choir的碟， 讓我動容的一句是Love...is for the lucky and strong， 當時是廣州出的一張碟， 中文翻譯居然朦朧自我發揮得讓人不知所雲， 逼得我隻好拿出當年大學時的勁頭， 一句一句死摳聽寫下來哈哈。  愛的脆弱和盼望，描繪得絲絲入扣， 而歌詞本身又是那麽單純， 言近旨遠， 很喜歡的風格。 後來看到壇裏有不少歌友都唱過這首歌， 很開心也有人跟我一樣“發現”了這首好歌！那種聽到一句後被擊中，然後滿世界找歌詞的感覺真好！

 

祝朋友們周末快樂！美國的朋友們節日快樂！

The Rose

Bette Midler

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, 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
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

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
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose
