Windflowers

这是一首取材自希腊神话爱神维纳斯的诗歌。爱神维纳斯一直爱慕山中打猎的美少年，然而他却在一次与野兽撕斗的过程中丧失了性命，维纳斯为此天天以泪洗面，甚至双眼流出了血来。泣血滴落在花瓣上，随风飘散。

windflowers的词中父亲以一过来人的身份，轻轻地告诉儿子，爱情虽然甜美却易逝去。

seals/crofts(二人组合)曾经有这么一首歌，据说当那揪心的歌曲在风中轻轻地传来时，很多人都站在风中久久地默然垂泪……

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

风飞花

风飞花，风飞花，

父亲对我说别走近它

他说他总有些害怕

他说他迷恋过它

风飞花，美丽的风飞花

我急切地要抚摸它

贴近脸颊闻久嗅

如今我已无法自拔

它的芳香犹如水汽

沙漠中蒸发

所以，孩子，听句劝告吧

风飞花，古老的风飞花

美丽迷惑了每个年轻的梦人

久久的徘徊在它的身旁

而我爱你，

古老的风飞花
