Windflowers

這是一首取材自希臘神話愛神維納斯的詩(shī)歌。愛神維納斯一直愛慕山中打獵的美少年，然而他卻在一次與野獸撕斗的過(guò)程中喪失了性命，維納斯為此天天以淚洗面，甚至雙眼流出了血來(lái)。泣血滴落在花瓣上，隨風(fēng)飄散。

windflowers的詞中父親以一過(guò)來(lái)人的身份，輕輕地告訴兒子，愛情雖然甜美卻易逝去。

seals/crofts(二人組合)曾經(jīng)有這么一首歌，據(jù)說(shuō)當(dāng)那揪心的歌曲在風(fēng)中輕輕地傳來(lái)時(shí)，很多人都站在風(fēng)中久久地默然垂淚……

Windflowers,windflowers

my father told me not to go

near them

He said he feared them always

and he told me that they

carried him away

Windflowers,beartiful

windflowers

I couldn’t wait to touch them

to smell them I held them

closely

And now I cannot break away

Their sweet bouquet disappears

like the vapor in the desert

So take a warning ,son

Windflowers ,ancient

windflowers

their beauty capture every

young dreamer

who lingers near them

But ancient windflowers,

I love you

風(fēng)飛花

風(fēng)飛花，風(fēng)飛花，

父親對(duì)我說(shuō)別走近它

他說(shuō)他總有些害怕

他說(shuō)他迷戀過(guò)它

風(fēng)飛花，美麗的風(fēng)飛花

我急切地要撫摸它

貼近臉頰聞久嗅

如今我已無(wú)法自拔

它的芳香猶如水汽

沙漠中蒸發(fā)

所以，孩子，聽句勸告吧

風(fēng)飛花，古老的風(fēng)飛花

美麗迷惑了每個(gè)年輕的夢(mèng)人

久久的徘徊在它的身旁

而我愛你，

古老的風(fēng)飛花
