西城男孩-- The Rose

如同爱尔兰偶像始祖Boyzone，Westlife的乍红可谓是欧洲偶像音乐界的两大传奇，皆以讨喜的外表和抒情流行曲风夺下了英国男孩团体Take That解散后的偶像音乐市场，连外来的Backstreet Boys与'N Sync在欧洲地区都难以和他们匹敌。而随着Boyzone团员近年来纷纷单飞，Westlife也日渐取代Boyzone成为英国少男少女心中的最佳偶像团体。






原文：The 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
I say love 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 can not 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 snow lies the seed
That with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose

翻译：
有人说，爱是条河
容易将柔弱的芦苇淹没
有人说，爱是把剃刀
会任由你的灵魂淌血
有人说，爱是种饥渴
一种无尽的带痛的需求
我说，爱是一朵花
而你，只是花的种籽

害怕破碎的心
永远学不会跳舞
害怕醒来的梦
永远没有机会
不愿吃亏的人
不懂得付出
忧心死亡的灵魂
不懂得生活

当夜显得寂寞不堪
去路显得无尽漫长
当你觉得只有幸运者
及强者才有幸得到爱
谨记，在严寒的冬日里
酷雪的覆盖下，躺着一颗种籽
一旦春阳临照，就能幻化成一朵 玫 瑰
