Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed..
어떤 이는 사랑은 연약한 갈대를 꺾어 버리는 강물과 같다고 하고
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.
어떤 이는 사랑은 영혼을 피 흘리도록 내버려두는 면도날 같다고 하죠
Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need..
또 어떤 이는 사랑은 끊임없이 고통스러운 부족감을 느끼는 배고픔이라 하죠
I say love, it is a flower, and you it's only seed..
난 사랑을 꽃이라 하겠어요, 당신은 사랑을 단지 씨앗이라고 하는군요
It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance.
사랑은 상처 받는 것이 두려워 춤을 배우지 못하는 것과 같아요
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance.
사랑은 꿈에서 깨어나기 싫어서 모험을 하지 못하는 것과 같죠
It's the one who won't be taken, who cannot seem to give
사랑은 베풀지 않는 사람에게는 찾아 오지 않아요
and the soul afraid of dyin' that never learns to live.
죽음을 두려워 하는 영혼은 사는법을 배울 수가 없어요
When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been to long..
밤이 너무 외롭고 갈 길은 너무 멀어서
and you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong
사랑은 단지 운 좋은 사람이나 강한 자의 것이라고 생각한다면
just remember in the winter
far beneath the winter snows
한겨울 차가운 눈 아래 땅속 깊이 묻혀 있는 씨앗을 생각해 봐요
lies the seed that with the sun's love
in the spring becomes the rose.
그 씨앗은 봄이 되면 따스한 햇살의 사랑을 받아 장미로 피어나요
