本曲大意

這首歌顯然描寫的是異國之戀。老美在二次世界大戰(zhàn)、韓戰(zhàn)、越戰(zhàn)時，與亞洲諸多國家的當地女孩墜入情網，唯戰(zhàn)后這些老外得隨軍返國，許多鴛鴦因此被拆散，這首歌描述的正是此一典例。早年由馬龍?白蘭度主演的『櫻花戀』及關家倩主演的『蘇絲黃的世界』都是描寫異國之戀的經典電影，值得租來一看回味一下。

英文歌詞

Rose, Rose, I love you with an aching heart. What is your future, now we have to part? Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away. Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay.

Make way, oh, make way for my Eastern Rose. Men crowd in dozens everywhere she goes. In her rickshaw on the street or in a cabaret, "Please make way for Rose," you can hear them say.

All my life I shall remember oriental music and you in my arms. Perfumed flowers in your tresses, lotus€?cented breezes and swaying palms.

Rose, Rose, I love you with your almond eyes. Fragrant and slender, neath tropical skies. I must cross the seas again and never see you more, way back to my home on a distant shore.

Rose, Rose, Ill leave you; my ship is in the bay. Kiss me farewell, now; theres nothing to say. East is east and west is west. Our worlds are far apart. I must leave you now, but I leave my heart.

歌詞翻譯

玫瑰，玫瑰，我愛妳愛得心都痛了?，F(xiàn)在我們要分開了，妳將何去何從呢?當輪船開航時，我看到妳站在碼頭上。美麗的馬來亞之花啊!我無法停留。

讓路，哦，為我美麗的東方玫瑰讓路。不論她走到哪里，男人都會蜂擁而上去看她。不管她坐黃包車經過街道時或在酒店里，你都會聽到有人喊道：『請讓路給玫瑰!』

我一輩子都會記得東方音樂和妳在我懷中的情景，妳的鬈發(fā)插上了彌漫香味的花朵，棕櫚樹在飄著蓮花香的微風中搖曳。

玫瑰，玫瑰我愛妳及妳那雙杏眼，在熱帶藍天下妳身上散發(fā)出芬芳，且身影窈窕。我必須再度啟程前往大洋遙遠的另一端，那是我生長的故鄉(xiāng)。我再也見不到妳了。

玫瑰，玫瑰，我要離開妳了，我的船就在海灣。和我吻別，現(xiàn)在毋需再多說。東方是東方，西方是西方。我們的世界相隔那么遠。我現(xiàn)在必須離開妳，但我把心留給妳。
