歌词中译005. 无心剑中译无名氏《玫瑰》

Rose

玫瑰

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

有人说爱是一道河流，

将那柔弱的芦苇淹没。

有人说爱是一把利刃，

把灵魂划得鲜血淋漓。

有人说爱是一种渴望，

让心灵承受无尽痛苦。

I say love it is a flower

and you it's only seed

我说爱是一朵鲜花，

你是它唯一的种子。

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

害怕破碎的心灵，

永远学不会欢舞；

害怕醒来的梦想，

永远没机会实现；

不愿吃亏的家伙，

似乎学不会给予；

畏惧死亡的灵魂，

永远学不会生活。

Life is a gift and you gotta

learn to live it

if you believe in love

you gotta learn to give it

Trying to find someone who's kind.

It is hard to do

You want the love

but you really don't know what to do

You're just afraid of someone breaking your heart

You never learned to live

you gave up from the start

You felt the pain

but it made you strong

So remember no matter

what you will go on

生命是一个礼物，

你要学会活一次。

如果你信仰爱情，

你必须学会给予。

竭力去寻找爱人，

但每次都是落空。

你想好好爱一场，

却不知该如何做，

你只是害怕心碎。

你没有学会生活，

刚开始你就放弃。

你经历种种痛苦，

但让你变得坚强；

所以你不要忘记，

无论如何要坚持。

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

当那夜晚变得太孤寂，

当那道路变得太漫长，

当你觉得那真正的爱，

只青睐幸运儿与强者，

Just remember

in the winter

far beneath the bitter snow

Lies the seed that

with the sun's love

in the spring

becomes the rose

你要记得冬日里，

在那寒雪覆盖下，

有一颗玫瑰种子，

在那春光爱抚下，

绽放成娇艳玫瑰。
