The life of a rose
该你多少在前世 如何还得清

How much I owed you in the previous life, how can I do to repay it completely
这许多衷曲 这许多愁绪
zhe xu duo zhong qu zhe xu duo chou xu
These many tunes of heart, these many melancholy sentiment
为了偿还你 化作红艳的玫瑰
wei liao chang huan ni hua zuo hong yan de mei gui
In order to repay you, I turned into a glamorous red rose
多刺且多情 开在荆棘里
duo ci qie duo qing kai zai jing ji li
With many thorns as well as passion, blossoms in the brambles
你又是该我什么 在某一段前世里
ni you shi gai wo shi me zai mou yi duan qian shi li
What should you have given me in the passage of time in the previous life
一份牵记 一份怜惜
yi fen qian ji yi fen lian xi
One thread of tugging memory, on thread of caring and cherish
所以今世里 不停地寻寻觅觅
suo yi jin shi li bu ting di xun xun mi mi
So, in this life, (I) never stop seeking and searching
于是萍水相遇 于是离散又重聚
yu shi ping shui xiang yu yu shi li san you zhong ju
Therefore, duckweed met; therefore, departed then reunited
我心盼望 让浓情一段 随时光流远 再回到开始
wo xin pan wang rang nong qing yi duan sui shi guang liu yuan zai hui dao kai shi
My heart looks forward to letting this deep feeling start again along the flowing of time
我心盼望 让前世情缘 延至地老天荒 到无数的来世
wo xin pan wang rang qian shi qing yuan yan zhi di lao tian huang dao wu shu de lai shi
My heart looks forward to letting the previous affinity extend to when earth gets most aged, the sky gets deserted and till the numerous future life
莫忘记 就算在最冷暗的谷底
mo wang ji jiu suan zai zui leng an de gu di
Don’t forget, even though at the coldest and darkest valley
只要你 将该我的还给我
zhi yao ni jiang gai wo de huan gei wo
As long as you give me what you should have given me
我也以 最炽热的还给你 此情不渝
wo ye yi zui chi re de huan gei ni ci qing bu yu
I also will return you with the hottest passion as well as never ending love

Quotes about roses:
A true poet does not bother to be poetical. Nor does a nursery gardener scent his roses.
Jean Cocteau

Ben Hogan
At every step the child should be allowed to meet the real experience of life; the thorns should never be plucked from his roses.
