Some say love it is a river Some say love it is a river Alguns dizem que o amor é um rio That drowns the tender reed. That drowns the tender reed. Que afoga a relva macia. Some say love it is a razor Some say love it is a razor Alguns dizem que o amor é uma navalha That leaves your soul to bleed. That leaves your soul to bleed. Isso deixa sua alma a sangrar. Some say love it is a hunger Some say love it is a hunger Alguns dizem que o amor é uma fome An endless, aching need An endless, aching need Um sem fim, dolorosa necessidade I say love it is a flower, I say love it is a flower, Eu digo que o amor é uma flor, And you it's only seed. And you it's only seed. E você é somente uma semente. It's the heart afraid of breaking It's the heart afraid of breaking É o coração com medo de quebrar That never learns to dance That never learns to dance Que nunca aprende a dançar It's the dream afraid of waking It's the dream afraid of waking É o sonho com medo de acordar That never takes the chance That never takes the chance Que nunca leva a chance It's the one who won't be taken, It's the one who won't be taken, É aquele que não serão tomadas, Who cannot seem to give Who cannot seem to give Quem não consegue dar And the soul afraid of dying And the soul afraid of dying E a alma com medo de morrer That never learns to live. That never learns to live. Que nunca aprende a viver. When the night has been too lonely When the night has been too lonely Quando a noite tem sido muito solitária And the road has been too long. And the road has been too long. E a estrada tem sido muito longo. And you think that love is only And you think that love is only E você acha que o amor é apenas For the lucky and the strong. For the lucky and the strong. Para os sortudos e os fortes. Just remember in the winter Just remember in the winter Basta lembrar no inverno Far beneath the bitter snow Far beneath the bitter snow Agora sob a neve amarga Lies the seed that with the sun's love, Lies the seed that with the sun's love, Está a semente que com o amor do sol, In the spring, becomes the rose. In the spring, becomes the rose. Na primavera, torna-se a rosa.
