RAMBLIN’ ROSE 流浪玫瑰*
Translated by John J. S. BALCOM 陶忘機
Later, only after I learned you were a ramblin’ rose Was I willing to lie down and become a constant Garden My tight embrace De-thorned you My gushing blood rushing in Made you all the redder Later, only after I’d plucked your petals, one by one, Did I learn the layers of your love concealed A heavy heart Let me ever so softly lick away
What is heavy Leaving nothing but a red Heart
