The rose

《只要彼此愛過一次》汪國真

如果不曾相逢

也許　心緒永遠不會沉重

如果真的失之交臂

恐怕一生也不得輕鬆

一個眼神

便足以讓心海　掠過颶風

在貧瘠的土地上

更深地懂得風景

一次遠行

便足以憔悴了一顆　羸弱的心

每望一眼秋水微瀾

便恨不得　淚水盈盈

死怎能不　從容不迫

愛又怎能　無動于衷

只要彼此愛過一次

就是無憾的人生

 

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 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 cannot seem to give,
And the soul afraid of dyin'
That never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been to 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.
