Some say love it is a river that drowns the tender reed
蒹葭苍苍，爱河为殇
Some say love it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed
灵之隐隐，爱刃断肠
Some say love it is a hunger and endless aching need
爱之切兮，痛之无疆
I say love it is a flower and you its only seed
情之萌兮，爱如花香

It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance
翩翩习舞，勿忧心伤
It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance
趋而求之，何惧梦梁
It's the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give
不给不予，取之无望
And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live
杞人之虑，难登天堂

When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long
暗夜如晦，漫路长长
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong
思之不幸，强者为王
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows
期之盼之，冬雪深藏
Lies the seed that with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose
春归日暖，玫瑰初央
