The rose 

                玫　瑰     　　　　　　　 

Bette Midler貝蒂蜜德勒

Some say love, it is a river that drowns

thetender reed

有人說愛是條河，容易將柔弱的蘆葦淹沒
Some say love, it is a razor that leaves

your soul to bleed

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

有人說愛是種饑渴，一種無盡的帶痛的需求
I say love is a flower

我說，愛是一朵花
And you, it's only seed

而你，只是花的種籽
It's the heart afraid of breaking that

never learns to dance

害怕破碎的心，永遠學不會跳舞
It's the dream afraid of waking that

never takes the chance

害怕醒來的夢，永遠沒有機會
It's the one who won't be taken who

can not seem to give

不願吃虧的人，不懂得付出
And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live

憂心死亡的靈魂，不懂得怎樣去活
When the night has been too lonely

當夜顯得寂寞不堪
And the road has been too long

路途顯得無盡漫長
And you think that love is only for

the lucky and the strong

當你覺得只有幸運者及強者才有幸得到愛
Just remember in the winter

謹記，在嚴寒的冬日裡
Far beneath the bitter snow lies the seed

酷雪的覆蓋下，躺著一顆種籽
That with the sun's love in the

spring becomes the rose

一旦春陽臨照，就能幻化成一朵玫瑰
