The Rose

Some say love, it is a river,Algunos dicen que el amor es un río,

that drowns the tender reedque ahoga al tierno junco

Some say love, it is a razor,Algunos dicen que el amor es una navaja,

that leaves your soul to bleedque deja tu alma sangrando

Some say love, it is a hunger,Algunos dicen que el amor es un hambre,

an endless aching needuna necesidad interminable

I say love, it is a flower,Yo digo que el amor es una flor,

and you, it's only seedy tú, su única semilla

It's the heart afraid of breaking,Es el corazón temeroso de romperse,

that never learns to danceque nunca aprende a bailar

It's the dream afraid of waking,Es el sueño temeroso de despertar,

that never takes the chanceque nunca se arriesga

It's the one who won't be taken,Es aquel que no se deja llevar,

the one who can't seem to giveel que parece no poder dar

And the soul afraid of dying,Y el alma temerosa de morir,

that never learns to liveque nunca aprende a vivir

When the night has been too lonelyCuando la noche ha sido demasiado solitaria

and the road has been too longy el camino ha sido muy largo

And you think that love is onlyY piensas que el amor es solo

for the lucky and the strongpara los afortunados y los fuertes

Just remember that in the winter,Solo recuerda que en el invierno,

far beneath the bitter snowmucho debajo de la amarga nieve

Lies the seed, that with the sun's loveYace la semilla, que con el amor del sol

in the spring becomes the rose.en la primavera se convierte en la rosa.
