The Rose》歌聲淚痕

《The Rose》是一首傳唱幾十載的經典老歌，由Amanda McBroom創作於1978年，同名電影作為片尾曲。影片推出後，讓Bette Midler奪得該年度「最佳流行樂女歌手」的格萊美獎，另外，由於演技精湛，她不僅被提名角逐奧斯卡，更奪得「最佳女演員」和「年度最佳新人」等兩座金球獎。她的歌詞富含哲理，就像最後一段：只要記著，在寒冬中，在那層層冰雪之下，埋藏著那顆，伴隨著太陽的和暖，當春天降臨，它將化成玫瑰。

《The Rose》歌詞： 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, its 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 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.

有人說，愛就像一道河流，它把柔弱的蘆葦淹沒其中。有人說，愛就像一把利刀，它任由妳的心靈繼續淌血。有人說，愛就像一陣飢餓，一種既無盡又痛苦的需求。我說，愛就是一朵花，而妳，是它唯一的種子。若一顆心，害怕被破碎，它永不能學會如何起舞。若一場夢，擔心被破滅，它永不能學會握緊機會。若一個人，不願被奪去，他似乎不懂如何去付出若那靈魂。懼怕著死亡，它永不能學會如何活著當長夜變得寂寞難耐。而這路也看似太漫長，妳想，愛不過是屬於那些幸運和強壯的人，只要記著，在寒冬中，在那層層冰雪之下，埋藏著那顆種子，伴隨著太陽的和暖，當春天降臨，它將化成玫瑰。
