《The Rose》的中文歌词如下:
Some say love it is a river that drowns the tender reed
有人说,爱是条河,容易将柔弱的芦苇淹没
Some say love it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed
有人说,爱是把剃刀,会任由你的灵魂流血
Some say love it is a hunger and endless aching need
有人说,爱是种饥渴,一种无尽的带痛的需求
I say love it is a flower and you its only seed
我说,爱是一朵花,而你,是唯一的花种
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance
是因为心害怕被伤害,所以永远不学习跳舞
It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance
是因为梦担心被惊醒,所以永远错失机会
It's the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give
不愿吃亏的人,不懂得付出
And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live
那颗害怕死去的心,永远领会不了生活的意义
当夜晚过于孤独时
