用古风翻译英文诗 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

 

河之濯濯，蒹葭有毁。

情伤若犀，长如流水。

心无所依，以疼饲馁。

 

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

 

莲子同结，花之靥靥。

日夜思君，忧心惙惙。

长梦不醒，得过且过。

 

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

And the night has been too lonely

And the road has been too long

 

但求一心，君不予我。

生无可怜，死亦难别。

夜永路长，飞萤之火。

 

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 a rose

 

求之幸之，花落有主。

孟冬凛冽，风黄雪苦。

种下蔷薇，春阳破土。
