《The Rose》是由Amanda McBroom创作于1978年，由Bette Midler在其领衔主演的《The Rose》(歌声泪痕)中作为片尾曲首唱，凭借此曲获得当年的「最佳流行乐女歌手」的格莱美奖。这首歌传唱几十载，深情动人，感人至深，引发无数知名歌手纷纷翻唱。Andre Rieu演奏的小提琴版深情优雅、低沉婉转，别有一番风味。
The 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
有人说 爱是一条河
会淹没轻柔的芦苇
有人说 爱是一把剃刀
让你的灵魂流血
有人说 爱是一种焦渴
一种无尽的带痛渴求
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 dying
That never learns to live
我说爱 是一朵花
而你则是唯一的种子
如果心害怕破碎
就永远无法学会起舞
如果害怕从美梦中醒来
就永远也抓不住机会
如果不愿付出
就永远没有回报
如果灵魂害怕去死
就永远学不会怎么生活
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 snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose
当夜晚太过寂寞
当前路太过遥远
或者当你认为
只有幸运者和强者才有资格得到爱的时候
你要记得
在厚厚的积雪底下
一颗种子一直都在那里躺着
等春天的阳光洒下
它会绽放成最美的玫瑰
